England Rugby Star Ellie Kildunne Opens Up About Body Dysmorphia Struggle
English rugby player Ellie Kildunne has spoken out about her battle with body dysmorphia, which began during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown. Despite her success on the field, including scoring five tries in England's Rugby World Cup win, Kildunne struggled with feelings of isolation and an unhealthy relationship with food. In a recent interview, she discussed how her perception of her body image became distorted, leading to an eating disorder. Kildunne credits a conversation with her physiotherapist, Emily Ross, with helping her to confront her issues and seek support. She now feels more in control and hopes to use her platform to help others who may be struggling with similar problems, emphasizing that even those who appear to have it all together can be facing inner turmoil.
