Beth Ditto has revealed the inspiration behind her image and music career - Miss Piggy. The chubby singer insists the Muppet pig is a great female role model and helped shape her as a teenager.

Ditto tells Advocate magazine, "Miss Piggy is extremely iconic. There's no one higher than Miss Piggy. It's funny, but it's true - she definitely was a huge influence on me as a teenager. Oh, and Patty Duke!"
