Views
Orsmond stated that "pregnant women allowing themselves to be overweight is criminal";[10] these comments drew objections from a number of obesity experts, published in an open letter.[11] She has also said in interviews that there's nothing wrong with women aspiring to have the body of a Victoria's Secret model.[12] She has further said that children should be weighed in school to help tackle Ireland’s obesity crisis.[13] Orsmond has also stated that in her opinion a sugar tax would stop people from eating sugar.[14]

In 1995, Orsmond married South African Wyatt Orsmond with whom she has two children. She lived in Cape Town, South Africa, for five years before moving to Ireland in 2000.[3] Orsmond revealed in a 2015 interview that she has taken up pole dancing to help keep fit.[15]
