England Rugby Star Ellie Kildunne Opens Up About Body Dysmorphia Struggle

Ellie Kildunne, a key player for England's rugby team, has spoken out about her personal battle with body dysmorphia, which began during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown. Despite her impressive performance in the Rugby World Cup, including scoring five tries, Kildunne struggled with feelings of loneliness and an unhealthy relationship with food. She has now discussed her experiences with body dysmorphia, revealing how she became fixated on losing weight and developed an eating disorder. Kildunne credits a conversation with her physiotherapist at her former club, Wasps, with helping her to address 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 high-achieving individuals like herself can face personal challenges.
