Notorious X-Factor reject, 19-stone slob Emma Chawner, has stormed out of a reality TV "Fat Camp" after being asked to WALK!

Self-confessed "fat cow" Emma, 19, and her 26-stone older sister Sam, 26, signed up for Lorraine Kelly's Big Fat Challenge alongside mammoth Mum, Audrey, and Dad, Phil.

But the tubby teenager threatened to quit after just two days, after experts on the show asked the family to walk 10,000 steps each day.

And the hefty horror finally gave up and stormed out on Sunday after only a week of dieting, leaving shocked host Lorraine saying: "I can't believe it".

Collectively the obese family from Blackburn, Lancashire, tip the scales at a whopping 91 stone.

The fat four hit the headlines after pop mogul Simon Cowell finally lost his temper with the flabby wannabe, who had attempted to audition for every series of the X Factor.

She first appeared in 2007, when fed-up Cowell cut short her shrieking version of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", prompting the X Factor boss to nickname her "The Flump".

And her appearance in the last series, dueting as part of musical nightmare "Sister Act" with lardy 22-year-old sister Sam proved the final straw for the angry judge.

The music magnate said: "'People who've won a rosette at a donkey derby don't go on to win the Grand National.

"You cannot sing. Never, ever, audition again."

The family, who were evicted from their former home after neighbours complained about the sisters horrific singing in the early hours, live on £25,000 a year in benefits, claiming to be too fat to work.

Lorraine Kelly's Big Fat Challenge will be shown on Sky TV's Biography Channel in Spring.

A spokesperson for the show was unavailable for comment.
