England Rugby Star Ellie Kildunne Opens Up About Her Struggle with Body Dysmorphia
England rugby star Ellie Kildunne has spoken out about her secret struggle with body dysmorphia, which began during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown. Despite her impressive performance in the Rugby World Cup, including scoring five tries, Kildunne felt isolated and alone. She has now revealed her unhealthy relationship with food and her battle with an eating disorder. Kildunne, who recently released her autobiography 'Game Changer', explained how her perception of her body image became distorted, making her feel bigger than she actually was. A turning point came when a physiotherapist at her former club, Wasps, expressed concern for her well-being, prompting Kildunne to open up about her issues. With the support of her physiotherapist, Emily Ross, Kildunne has begun to regain control over her life and is now using her platform to raise awareness and help others who may be struggling with similar issues. Kildunne hopes to show that even successful athletes like herself can face personal struggles and that it's essential to speak out and seek help.
