UK Show's Brutal Tactics Haunt Former Participant

Tarnya Cuff, who appeared on the controversial UK show 'Fat Families' in 2008, has spoken out about the severe trauma and suicidal thoughts she experienced as a result of her participation. The show, hosted by Steve Miller, is known for its harsh critiques of overweight families.

Now, 16 years after her appearance, Miller plans to revive 'Fat Families' for YouTube, a prospect that has horrified Cuff. She fears the lack of production filters on YouTube will exacerbate the show's damaging effects, particularly on young viewers.

Cuff regrets her involvement, citing the show's misleading editing which led to her son being relentlessly bullied. She claims the production team encouraged exaggerations of their eating habits and purchasing of unhealthy foods for filming purposes.
