A new survey suggests that three in four people want celebrities banned from endorsing unhealthy food and drinks

The study for the Irish Heart Foundation found that 76 per cent back a ban on celebrities promoting junk food … while 85 per cent of people support a ban on unhealthy food and drink brands’ advertisements within games and apps played by children under 16.

Kieran was joined on The Hard Shoulder by Dr Eva Orsmond, medical doctor and health advocate at Orsmond clinics, and Charley Stoney, who is Chief Executive with IAPI.
