Dani Levi, who appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss the topic, believes that fat-shaming 'encourages people to lose weight'.
The heated debate appeared on the show after James Corden spoke out against American TV presenter Bill Maher who said fat-shaming should make 'a comeback'.

The fitness instructor criticised this, saying on Good Morning Britain today: ' You don't go to a smoker, "Oh your breath stinks" and then the smoker comes back and says, "Oh you just made me light up another cigarette."

'The number of real-life stories that have come to me from my magazines and say, "I was on a waterslide and got stuck and everyone laughed at me and that was the moment my life turned around." Fat-shaming encourages people to lose weight.'
The ever-controversial Piers Morgan agreed with Dani, saying that people who are overweight can 'do something about it'.
He said: 'Unless it's genetic or a thyroid thing I would say 95pc of fat people can do something about it. It's a battle with your mind basically, it's a battle with self-discipline.'

'Stop celebrating being massively overweight. I don't know how you get people to lose weight unless you say, come on. Enough.
'Is there a way to tackle chronic obesity, to stop putting massive models on the cover of magazines and say this ain't so great.
'We put people who are 320 pounds on the cover of glossy magazines and say "isn't this empowering?" and this is the problem that Bill Maher has rightly identified to me.'
However, his co-host Susanna Reid disagreed, saying: 'I don't think people telling you all the time unpleasant things about your weight helps the battle with your mind.'

'Fat-shaming never went anywhere,' he explained.
'Ask literally any fat person, we are reminded of it all the time on (an) airplane, on Instagram, when someone leaves a pie on the windowsill to cool and they look at us.
'There's a common and insulting misconception that fat people are stupid and lazy and we're not. We get it, we know.'
'We know that being overweight isn't good for us and I've struggled my entire life trying to manage my weight and I suck at it,' he added.
