"Britain's fattest teenager" Georgia Davis, on why after losing 15 stone, she's put it all back on again. And after their by-election "kicking", have the Lib Dems lost your vote?
The seventeen year old described as Britain's fattest teenager tells Victoria she's determined to lose weight again.
Georgia Davis from Aberdare in the South Wales valleys weighs forty stone. Although she lost around half her body weight at a weight loss academy in America, she's put it all back on again. She explains to Victoria how easy it was to fall back into bad habits when she arrived back home, with a first meal of fish and chips.
A consultant weight loss surgeon tells Victoria that as Georgia is 'super super morbidly obese', the odds of her losing the weight are stacked against her.
Also, have the Lib Dems lost your vote? Dominic Carman, the Lib Dem candidate who came sixth in the Barnsley by-election tells Victoria he was abused up to fifty times a day on the campaign trail, branded a "traitor" and a "coward". John Pugh, Lib Dem MP for Southport, and Sharon Brook, a former Lib Dem councillor who defected to Labour, join the discussion.
Plus the latest from Libya, news on the Metropolitan Police officer facing misconduct action after the shooting of barrister Mark Saunders, and how much taxpayers' money does it take to change a lightbulb at the MoD? Our reporter explains in hour two that there is more to the story in today's papers.
