She said: “I had a food and dysfunction. It was definitely dysfunctional how I looked at my body and definitely how I treated it in terms of food.”
The mother of three revealed that the problem started as a child, feeling uncomfortable with the beach trip.
She said: “I was at Frinton Beach when I was 9 and I remember having stretch marks on my thighs.
“I have always been a chubby person. Compared to my sticky brothers and sisters, I am a lot bigger.”
