Kate embraces her curves

Ex-Home and Away star Kate Richie (Sally Fletcher) has teamed up with fellow Aussie celebs Sarah Murdoch, Antonia Kidman and Ricki-Lee Coulter in their stand against the “thin is in” craze.

Richie, 30, said women were behind the whole female body image epidemic, not men.

“Women really need to start giving each other a break,” she said.

“In most cases, it’ss women who criticise each others bodies.”

Richie teamed up with Antonia Kidman and Ricki-Lee Coulter to declare war on the skinny celebrity cult. The ladies said “We love our curves” in this week’ss Who magazine.

“(Fitting) into size small jeans doesn’st make me happy. It’ss about being able to enjoy a meal, a glass of wine and balancing that with exercise,” Richie said.
