X FACTOR reject Emma Chawner has walked out of “fat camp” while filming for a diet show.
The 20-year-old and her elder sister Samantha were taking part in a new six-part television series hosted by Lorraine Kelly.
The Chawner family, originally from Ramsbottom, have been dubbed the fattest family in Britain — weighing more than 90st in total.
As part of the show, the sisters were sent to “fat camp” in Somerset for a month.
But after two days, Emma, who weighs 17st, tried to quit after being forced to walk 10,000 steps a day.
The Chawners, including mum Audrey and dad Phil, say they are too fat to work and receive £25,000 a year in benefits.
They now live in Blackburn after being evicted from their Ramsbottom home after neighbours’ complained about late-night karaoke sessions.
Lorraine Kelly’s Big Challenge is on The Biography Channel in the new year.
