X-FACTOR reject Emma Chawner and her family are set to reappear on a 'fat-busting' reality television series after piling on the pounds again.

The family lost weight after the first series of Lorraine Kelly's Next Big Fat Challenge but have put it back on since the cameras left.

Now the presenter has re-visited the family and enlisted the help of a psychotherapist and hypnosis expert to get to the root of the problem.

The six-part series aims to get the family back to work and to address their overeating once and for all.

Emma and her family found fame following her X-factor audition where Simon Cowell slated her performance.

They were later evicted from their Ramsbottom home following complaints over her singing and have since moved to Great Harwood.

Lorraine Kelly’s Next Big Fat Challenge starts on August 24 at 8pm on the Bio Channel on Sky.
