A woman, who says she was told by a modelling agency to slim 'down to the bone', will tell MPs this week that a new law is needed to protect vulnerable young people in the industry. Twenty-three-year-old Rosie Nelson started a petition which has attracted more than 100,000 signatures. She'll address a parliamentary inquiry, which is gathering evidence to see if new legislation is required. "I haven't had much backlash, I've had a lot of support, but I do worry that people won't want to attach themselves to my story as I am being very straight forward about how I want health to be the main focus of it." Italy, Israel and Spain have all passed bills banning the use of ultra-thin fashion models, with France the latest to adopt a new law. Rosie told Stephen Nolan that she would like a law enforced where models have to undertake health checks. This clip is originally from Stephen Nolan on 5 Live on Sunday 29 November 2015.
