We discuss whether plus-size actors feel like they are getting typecast on screen.

Actor, comedian and TV host James Corden has criticised the exclusion of "chubby" people in films and on TV, saying they "never really fall in love" and "never have sex". We speak to two plus-sized actresses about the roles they get cast in and whether they feel discriminated against. (Photo: James Corden at the Oscar Wilde Awards on 26/02/2016. Credit: BBC NEWS)
