Radio 1 Breakfast DJ, Chris Moyles, played Mika's 'Big Girl, You Are Beautiful', then followed with a discussion that there are no big beautiful girls.  That big girls aren't beautiful.

Chris Moyles, who has a classic face for radio, then went on to ask his team to think of a 'chunky' woman they know, and asked if they were beautiful.  Then asked them to think if they could think of any chunky woman they thought were beautiful.

He claimed there weren't any, with exception of Dawn French.  I used to be a fan of Chris Moyles, and defended him to people who said he was an arrogant, overpaid ******, but I can't bare to listen to him any more either.

Comments like that are going to do wonders for your ratings Chris, well done, keep up the good work.  I'm sure all the big girls in playgrounds around the country are really glad of your comments too.

If you haven't heard Mika's new album, 'Life in Cartoon Motion', there's a wonderful song on there that celebrates us larger ladies!

It's a fantastic song (one of many on this album), and so very nice to hear a young artist celebrity big girls everywhere!

Go and buy it, you won't be disappointed
