Oprah Winfrey has admitted playing a role in perpetuating diet culture during her career and said a dieting item from a 1980s show was one of her 'biggest regrets'. The 70-year-old star - who has been ranked among the most influential women in the world - has been open about her struggles to maintain a healthy weight and attempts to lose weight. In March she said 'making fun of my weight was a national sport' for more than two decades.
