Wimbledon star Marion Bartoli has unveiled her dramatic weight loss, prompting much concern from tennis fans.
The French sportswoman appeared very slim after losing a staggering five stones over the last three years.
The 31-year-old was famously the subject of a derogatory comment by BBC pundit John Inverdale who told Radio 5 Live in 2013: "I wonder if her dad did say to her, 'Listen, you’re never going to be a looker.

"'You’re never going to be somebody like a Sharapova, you’re never going to be somebody with long legs, so you have to compensate for that.'"

Following the backlash that trailed her performance at Shatta Wale's Reign Concert over the weekend, Ghanaian singer,  Fantana  has now released a statement.  The singer stated that she is not ashamed of being a woman and also mesntruating. Her statement read in part;  "Regardless of my costume being transparent, my only option was to put on a sanitary pad and still go ahead to perform. I am a woman and I’m not ashamed of menstruating. "I want to urge every woman to resist being discriminated against because of menstruation. I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women. "Yes my menses appeared 30 minutes to my performance and I had to put on a sanitary pad and still go on stage. "Menstruation is not a shame and I urge all young women take a cue from my actions and not to let it stop them from doing anything they want to do."
