Is Cheryl too thin to be an icon?

It seems that everybody loves Cheryl Cole. She has made it big on the X Factor and has married a Premiership football player, her life seems pretty damn dandy if you ask me.

One person who isn’t as obsessed as the rest of the population is feminist academic, Germaine Greer.

“There’s not enough of her, she’s too thin. A healthy girl is a fat-bottomed creature.”

During Gordon Ramsey’s cook Along Live, Germaine spoke out that she doesn’t think that Cheryl is the right size to be a feminist icon, she is far too skinny.

Cheryl isn’t the only person who Germaine has had an opinion on, she has also spoken her mind about Jordan.

“I think the girl’s a genius, except that I also think she’s destroying herself, and that’s not a pretty picture.”

Do you think that Cheryl Cole is too thin to be a role model to females?
