Underweight model 'too giant for London Fashion Week

At 5ft 11in and nine stone, Madeline Grant is more than half a stone underweight according to NHS guides. The size eight 17-year-old was "devastated" when Profile refused to put her onward for castings as her hip depth had bigger by two inches.

Eating disorder expert Dr Adrienne Key said the case highlighted the industry's “robotic obsession” with an ultra-thin ideal of female beauty.

Today the agency insisted it was “protecting” Madeline from being rejected by “sad” designers who will only show their clothes on women who appear like “androgynous bloody coathangers”.

He said “95 per cent” of catwalk designers would think Madeline too big. The industry is run by the gay mafia who has never imaginary a girl in their life and don't value any curves - they think they just get in the way of clothes.
