'We grew up in a time of Kate Moss waif, so that was not my friend growing up,' Holly said.Joanne, 43, replied: 'I remember having any curves was just the most horrifying thing.''Yeah it was,' Holly agreed.Explaining why she likes clothes that accentuate her waist, Holly said: 'I want to show my waist because that's the smallest bit because my bum is big.'Joanne immediately disagreed, telling the presenter: 'You're such a show off. Look at that you've got the perfect figure.'But Holly insisted: 'No I do not, I do not.''That's what the Kardashians are using all those waist trainers to have and putting in all those BBLs,' Joanne added.Holly's comments come almost a decade after she debuted a noticeably slimmer appearance in 2017.The television star has consistently refused to discuss dieting in detail, previously explaining she is reluctant to place too much emphasis on appearance for fear of encouraging unhealthy attitudes towards food.Speaking to Prima magazine in 2018, she said: 'I don't want to encourage eating disorders. I try not to focus too much on my appearance.'As long as I'm being healthy, that's good enough for me. I'm quite active and I try not to let the way I look be the main focus because it's not the important thing.'
