Gillian McKeith has defended her right to wear wildly revealing outfits as she approaches her 60th birthday, and admits she wants to empower less confident women to wear what they want without fear of judgement.
The former You Are What You Eat presenter has developed a growing reputation for wearing outlandish, independently designed gowns and dresses – often with a risqué flourish - following her memorable appearance at a UK premiere in October.
On that occasion the Scottish star, 59, divided opinion in a garish woven cape dress, designed to look like a series of intricately woven cobwebs, over a tight-fitting black bodysuit that fully exposed her legs.
Speaking out: Gillian McKeith has defended her right to wear wildly revealing outfits as she approaches her 60th birthday, and admits she wants to empower less confident women to wear what they want without fear of judgement
And she insists she will continue to wear what she wants on the red carpet because it sends a powerful message to other women, while boosting her own self-confidence.
‘Self-expression should be celebrated whatever you wear,’ she said during an appearance on Wednesday morning’s edition of This Morning.
‘Women get to a certain age when we’re supposed to wear Victorian clothing, buttoned up, but everyone’s entitled to wear what they want.

Never change: The presenter insists she will continue to wear what she wants on the red carpet because it sends a powerful message to other women, while boosting her own self-confidence
'If I wore something frumpy and fuddy-duddy I wouldn’t be happy. If I went places trying to wear things to please others, I would be unhappy.’
The presenter, famed for repeatedly fainting while appearing on reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2010, opted for another striking outfit as she took her place on the sofa alongside daughter Skylar, 24, a law graduate.
And Gillian admitted the creation, an embellished bodice and sheer skirt teamed with glittering lilac platform boots, had been hand picked by her daughter ahead of her recent appearance at the London premiere of Do Something Jake.
Liberated: ‘Women get to a certain age when we’re supposed to wear Victorian clothing, buttoned up, but everyone’s entitled to wear what they want,' she explained
This is for me: 'If I wore something frumpy and fuddy-duddy I wouldn’t be happy. If I went places trying to wear things to please others, I would be unhappy,' she added
'I have always enjoyed going to events like this and wearing something like this. It's sociable and fun,' she explained. 'We should let people live, be who they want to be.
'Condemning someone for expressionism is another form of discrimination. Maybe women don’t have the courage or the opportunity (to wear what they want.)'
She added: 'I wouldn’t feel like I could fly if I was in conservative stuff. Life’s too short to not give it gusto.'

However fans were divided over her appearance, with some applauding the presenter for having the confidence to wear what she wants, while others condemned her outfit outright.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: 'I'm nearly 50 & I think you should wear what you want and not have to dress a certain way as you get older, however the "dress" #GillianMcKeith had on on This Morning was truely hideous & not appropriate on anyone at a premier. (sic)'
While another simply added: 'Gillian McKeith? She wears the things she does for attention.'

While another raved: 'I admire your strength on been able to wear what you wear with confidence and why not you look amazing.
'There are far too many bullies and trolls this day in age and it’s so unfair. No wonder mental health is on a high!!!'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
