Bake Off’s Laura Adlington has gone topless to slam 'fancy spas' for failing to provide robes to accommodate their plus-size guests with 'one size' robes.

Sharing the bugbear with her 270K followers on Wednesday, the 2020 GBBO runner up posted a short video of herself with the unfastened robe looking less than pleased.

The wording over the video reads: "Dear fancy spas... Bigger people want to enjoy treatments too. Please make your robes inclusive. It really ruins the experience for us when they don't fit."

Meanwhile the caption says: "When the label says ‘One size fits all'."

Her plus-size followers were keen to add to that list with one saying: "Raise your hand if you’ve also felt personally victimized by teeny tiny hotel towels too actually ridiculous that corporations still believe one size fits all is a thing."

And a second adding: "Can you add hospital gowns too Laura please? I was so embarrassed recently when my gown didn’t meet at the back x."

Alison Hammond also weighed in on the issue of inclusively: "So true I take my own now however I did go to @champneysspas and they gave me a 3 XL . I felt so happy".

Laura has been candid in speaking out about body neutrality - loving your body for what it can do, rather than judging it for what it looks like or being forced into toxic positivity.

She shared with Fabulous magazine in October 2022 that she was ordered to lose 14st by doctors before beginning IVF, which contributed to her decision not to start a family with her husband Matt after trying to conceive for three years.

Laura, 32, described the decision as 'the hardest thing I've ever gone through', explaining that her struggle with infertility was impacting on her mental health.

She told the title: “I've never thought, ‘I want to take my own life’, but I definitely have had thoughts that I didn't want to be here any more. And I have phoned Samaritans on a few occasions and really benefited from it.

“I did really try to lose weight and I considered bariatric surgery [but] I realised it wasn’t for me.

"It was difficult — people say we obviously didn’t want it enough because I would have lost the weight to have the IVF.

"But it was such a lot to lose — about 14st and I just struggled to do that.

“I wonder if that will always play on my mind, particularly as I get older."
