"absolutely stunning" is a bit of a stretch even going back 5 or 6 years
I saw her once around that time and she was a big old unit. As I may have said previously she had more chins than a Chinese phone book. That is my abiding memory of her - laying on her back with all these big rolls of fat around her neck
I first saw her, probably soon after she had started in the UK. I don't think anyone would ever have described her as slim, however I think the photos were reasonably realistic of her then, but it was an unusually soulless experience compared to other Poles I had encountered. It was probably a year or two after when I saw her again as a plan B, when she was much more friendly and engaging, but as you say had really started to pile on the pounds.
