UK's National Obesity Forum has a Christmas message to all of you: tell your loved ones they are overweight this Christmas, and maybe they'll live to see many more Christmases.

Prof David Haslam, chair of the National Obesity Forum, said: "Suggesting to someone that they should consider losing a few pounds may not be a comfortable conversation to have.

"But if someone close to you has a large waistline then as long as you do it sensitively, discussing it with them now could help them avoid critical health risks later down the line and could even save their life."
