Twiggy: Rise of weight loss jabs stops me being blamed over 'promoting anorexia'


The super-skinny model, 75, says she does not disapprove of appetite-suppressant drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, injected through pre-filled pens.

Twiggy, real name Lesley Hornby, from Neasden, north London, became an overnight sensation at 16 after a photo of her with a new, cropped hairstyle was shown in a Mayfair hairdresser’s window. She modelled for only four years – barring a recent partnerships with Marks & Spencer – and became an actress, winning two Golden Globe awards for The Boy Friend in 1971. Her story will be told in a documentary by actress Sadie Frost and in a musical by comedian Ben Elton, which will tour Britain next year.
