Michelle McManus slimmer than ever as fans hail ‘trim’ popstar in stunning dress
MICHELLE McManus looks slimmer than ever as she stuns in a gorgeous red dress.
The Scots singer shot to fame on the 2002 series of Pop Idol and topped the charts with her debut single All This Time.
On the talent hunt show, Michelle, 43, faced fierce criticism from record producer judge Pete Waterman, 76, over her weight.
The veteran music man famously took a swipe at the Scots musician during her first audition and said: “I think you are not a Pop Idol.”
Commenting on the feud, Michelle said: “Pete Waterman had an issue with me right from the beginning.”
However two decades after appearing on the Ant and Dec primetime hit fans are hailing Michelle’s ‘trim’ figure.
