England Rugby Star Opens Up About Body Dysmorphia Struggle

England rugby player Ellie Kildunne has spoken out about her struggles 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 has revealed that she felt isolated and developed an unhealthy relationship with food. She has now spoken about her experiences, including her struggles with weight loss and eating disorders, in the hope of helping others who may be going through similar struggles. 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 wants to use her platform to help others, showing that even successful athletes can struggle with mental health issues and that no one is perfect.
