Not keen on wearing a bikini

EIGHT out of ten women feel too self-conscious to wear bikinis this summer, a survey has found.

Those aged 16 to 24 most fear looking fat — even if other people say they are not.

A quarter would consider cosmetic surgery and almost half diet before going on holiday.

A spokesman for Del Monte Ice Creams, who carried out the research, said: “It is worrying that so many women are feeling self-conscious.”

Actress Denise Van Outen said size zero models were making “normal” curvy women want to stay covered up.
