Organized by Ruth Rogers
Body Gossip is the brainchild of presenter and actress Ruth Rogers.
She had the idea for Body Gossip over two years ago, after living in New York and being told repeatedly to lose weight if she wanted to work as an actress.

She returned to the UK angry and fired up - and the result of that passion is Body Gossip!

Ruth wants to give real people's stories a powerful celebrity voice, while also celebrating realistic beauty in a unique and groundbreaking way - she hopes that Body Gossip will do just that.
