We don't heart our love handles: Flabby hips top poll of female Brits' worst bits

Wonky nose? We can come to terms with it. Terrible teeth? Tolerable. Big bottom? Bearable.
But love handles are a different story entirely, it seems.
Hard-to-shift fat on the hips is the biggest body hang-up among women, according to a study.
Excess weight on the hips is our biggest body hang-up, topping the list above 'saddle-bags' (fatty outer thighs) and muffin-tops, according to a new survey.
After those top three come bingo wings and inner thighs.
The results reflect the changing shape of British women, with the 'apple' type - who store fat around the middle - now more common than big-bottomed 'pears'.
Donnamarie McBride, co-founder of Harley Street cosmetic clinic Lovelite, said that more than two-thirds of women who come in for fat removal treatments want to target fat on their stomachs, hips and the sides of their torsos.
And it seems that even celebrities with 'perfect' bodies are not immune to such feminine insecurities.
Singer Mollie King of the Saturdays has admitted to being 'very self-conscious in a bikini' and says she would never get her stomach out on stage.
Made In Chelsea's Binky Felstead has also spoken out about her body insecurities.
The reality TV star revealed she doesn't like her 'tummy and love handles' and is currently undergoing sessions of a non-invasive fat reduction treatment named Lipoglaze to help with shifting the weight on these areas.

Meanwhile, pear-shaped women including Cheryl Cole are more concerned about their legs.
The star said: 'I don't like my legs. I haven't got much of them for a start. If I was dressing myself I'd probably cover them up.'

She's set to reprise her role as scheming socialite Georgina Sparks on hit television drama Gossip Girl.
And Michelle Trachtenberg today gave fans a glimpse of what they can expect for the forthcoming - and final - season of the show as she stepped out in New York City today.
The actress, 26, was seen greeting co-star Chace Crawford with a kiss in midtown Manhattan, the pair having dressed up for yet another glamorous event.

The show is in its sixth and final season, and it seems that Gossip Girl's wardrobe department are pulling out all stops, with star Blake Lively regularly seen in show-stopping numbers.
After first hitting screens in 2007, it was announced in May that the sixth series of Gossip Girl would be the last.
Season six is set to premiere on October 8.
American actress Katherine Heigal has even admitted that her thighs are her 'obsession', saying: 'I always complexed about my thighs. I think they're very fat. This is the only part of my body which I have no control of. My thighs are my obsession.'
Even Elle 'The Body' Macpherson is not immune to insecurities about her figure, admitting: 'It's taken me a long time to feel good about my body. Just like everyone, and despite my nickname, I have felt unhappy in my skin.'

Love handles are what British women are least happy with on their bodies, regardless of age or size

Model and presenter Kelly Brook, the model and presenter regularly voted by both men and women as having the best bikini body, said: 'My arms are a bit wobbly'.

Kim Kardashian also added: 'I've never been a big fan of my thighs, but I do love my stomach when it’s in shape.'
Donnamarie McBride, co-founder of the Lovelite clinic, said: 'We've noticed for a long time that women are self-conscious of their hips and want to lose their lovehandles.
'Fat on the hips can be the most noticeable, and is hard to disguise if trying to keep up with the latest fashion for skinny jeans and body con dresses.
'Women will always focus on parts of their body that they don't like, it's almost in our DNA to obsess over these things.'
