English rugby player Ellie Kildunne has spoken out about her battle with body dysmorphia, which began during the 2020 coronavirus lockdown. Kildunne, who played a key role in England's Rugby World Cup victory, scoring five tries, including a notable solo effort in the final against Canada, has revealed her struggles with body image and disordered eating. In an interview, she discussed feeling isolated after the World Cup win and developing an unhealthy relationship with food.
Kildunne has stated that she now feels in control and hopes to use her platform to help others who may be struggling with similar issues. She has recently released her autobiography, 'Game Changer', and aims to show that even successful athletes like herself can face personal challenges and imperfections.
