England Rugby Star Ellie Kildunne Opens Up About Body Dysmorphia Struggle
England rugby star 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 last year, including scoring five tries, has revealed her struggles with unhealthy weight loss and an eating disorder that developed during the pandemic. In an interview with BBC Sport, Kildunne discussed feeling isolated after the World Cup win and her experiences with body dysmorphia, which caused her to see herself as bigger than she actually was. She has since sought help and now feels in control, wanting to use her platform to help others who may be going through similar struggles. Kildunne's autobiography, 'Game Changer', has recently been released, in which she shares her story and journey towards recovery.
