Awkward On-Air Promotion
Former politician Nadine Dorries found herself in hot water on This Morning as she repeatedly promoted a pharmaceutical business during a conversation about weight loss drugs. TV host Ben Shephard had to intervene as Dorries mentioned her preferred supplier, Simple Online Pharmacy, multiple times.
Controversial Plugs
Dorries, who claimed to have lost two stone with the help of the drug Mounjaro, excitedly shared her positive experience with the online pharmacy. Despite her insistence that she wasn't paid for the endorsement, Shephard had to step in and ask her to refrain from further mentions.
Concerns and Warnings
The incident raised eyebrows among viewers, with some questioning the ethics of promoting weight loss drugs on air. This comes amid reports of 10 deaths and over 7,000 illnesses in the UK related to similar medications. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has issued warnings about the side effects and proper usage of these drugs.
Health Secretary's Warning
Health Secretary Wes Streeting has praised the potential of these drugs but cautioned against their misuse for cosmetic purposes. The focus remains on using them for authorized medical indications rather than aesthetic weight loss.
