STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Big Fat Fun - Great For Fans of Nick Hornby and Mike Gayle.
THE BIRDICT
Greg and Zoe are thoroughly likeable characters and great as a couple. While elements of the plot require some suspension of belief, it just doesn’t matter because this is pure entertainment.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
The narrators complemented and elevated the humour. In particular, Napoleon Ryan performs one of my favourite sections at the barbecue and another with his personal trainer.

Fat Chance
THE BLURB
Meet Zoe and Greg Milton, a married couple who have let themselves go a bit.
Zoe was a stunner in her college days, but the intervening decades have added five stone, and removed most of her self-esteem. Greg's rugby-playing days are well and truly behind him, thanks to countless pints of beer and chicken curry.
When Elise, a radio DJ and Zoe's best friend, tells them about a new competition, it seems like the perfect opportunity to turn their lives around. Fat Chance will pit six hefty couples against one another to see who can collectively lose the most weight and walk away with a £50,000 prize.
So begins six months of abject misery, tears, and frustration—that just might turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to them - in another laugh-out-loud look at the way we live now from bestselling author Nick Spalding.
