| Obese family in harsh spotlight
They have been lambasted in the press and laughed at by neighbours. Here, the Chawner family, with a combined weight of 83 stones, describe their distress at unwanted attention and abuse.
Emma Chawner is responsible for one of the most famous (or infamous) renditions of Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On.
The 19-year-old from Blackburn first came to the nation's attention two years ago when she first applied for The X Factor.
In a memorable audition, she was roundly condemned for both her dress sense and singing abilities by Simon Cowell.
He described the dress she was wearing as "like a wedding dress, and then you sang the song out of tune and a bit like a baby".
But Emma and her family say the criticism dished out by the judges is nothing compared to the abuse they have suffered since. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7970491.stm |

They are receiving government aid because they say they can not work because of their weight, and they think they should receive more government aid to help them lose weight because healthy foods cost too much.

There was a comment on there which said, 'If I see Emma Chawner, I'll kill her,' and that upset me and I ran upstairs crying
| Am I the only person who's surprised she's able to run?
