England Rugby Star Ellie Kildunne Opens Up About Body Dysmorphia Struggle

England rugby star Ellie Kildunne has spoken out about her secret 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 revealed how she developed an eating disorder and became fixated on losing weight, despite being considered small in the rugby world. Kildunne's struggles came to a head during a physio session at her former club Wasps, where lead physiotherapist Emily Ross expressed concern for her well-being. This conversation marked a turning point for Kildunne, who has since sought support and is now in control of her struggles. She hopes to use her platform to help others who may be going through similar experiences, proving that even successful athletes can face personal challenges.
