Famous dancer reveals struggle with eating disorders for 15 years.

Angela Scanlon recently made her debut appearance on Loose Women where she opened up about her personal battle with anorexia and bulimia. The Irish presenter, now 40 years old, revealed that she had been struggling with these eating disorders for a staggering 15 years. She described this period of her life as being in a "bad place" and how it can often feel very bleak and secretive.

During her interview with the talk show panel, Angela reflected on her journey and how it all began in her late teens or early 20s. She also highlighted the fact that eating disorders are not always obvious and can often go undetected. She explained that it's not always just one disorder, but can involve cycles of different ones, as was the case for her with both bulimia and anorexia.

In addition to her appearance on Loose Women, Angela has also been a key contestant on the popular dance competition, Strictly Come Dancing, back in 2023. She spoke openly about her experiences on the show and how it was a turning point for her in her recovery. She revealed that a friend who also suffered from an eating disorder helped her realize that she doesn't have to live with it forever, and that support in numbers can be comforting.

Angela's candidness and bravery in discussing her struggles is not something new. She has previously spoken about her past eating disorders in an interview with The Times, where she described reaching a point where she was sick of herself and knew she needed to find an alternative. She also mentioned that in order to let go of the things that had been holding her back, she needed something else to hold onto.

The radio presenter's honesty and courage to speak about such a personal topic has been met with admiration and support from many. She explained on Loose Women that she wants to share her story in the hopes of helping others who may be going through similar struggles. She believes that eating disorders do not have to define a person forever and wants to inspire others to overcome them.

Angela's journey has led her to release a book where she shares her experiences and uses her platform to spread awareness and understanding about eating disorders. And although she may have had a difficult past, she also knows how to have fun. She briefly mentioned her time on Strictly and how she "had a ball" being a contestant on the show. She even joked about still watching her sultry tango performance on YouTube on "down days" to remind herself that she "still got it."
