Whitney Thore hadn’t danced for 10 years – then one YouTube clip changed her life.
Whitney Thore has been giving interviews in the UK about her rise to fame, which has culminated in the news that she's just landed a TV show.

Thore, who now weighs 27 stone (378 pounds), admits this wasn't the only reason for her weight gain.
