A former size 30 comfort-eater ditched her husband and lost over 10st after he called her a 'fat cow'. Jen Mellor, 35, who once weighed 22st 4lbs, claims she divorced ex Andy, 37, because of his hurtful insults. The mum-of-one, from Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire, says her husband was unsupportive when she began dieting and she ended the relationship over his allegedly cruel comments. Jen, who now weighs 12st, says "Andy used to make me feel so embarrassed and ashamed because of my weight."
