I'm A Celebrity's Ryan Gallagher opens up about anorexia battle

Raising awareness 💙 - by Milly Haddrick
  • 07 Jan 2020

Trigger Warning: This post details related to eating disorders.

Last night, former Married At First Sight star Ryan Gallagher opened up about his battle with anorexia to his I'm A Celebrity castmate, Charlotte Crosby.

WATCH: Ryan talks to Charlotte about his eating disorder 

While chatting to the Geordie Shore star, Ryan revealed that his extreme fear of vomiting led him developing an eating disorder.

"I used to have a fear of vomiting when I was young. And then I remember feeling sick once and I had a full-blown panic attack. For two years, because I had a fear of vomiting, I wouldn't eat.

"And then because I wouldn't eat, I'd feel sick. So I was anorexic for two years," the 31-year-old told the former Geordie Shore star. "I used to wear two shirts. I have photos. I looked like a surfboard."

Prior to going into the jungle, straight 10/10 hottie Ryan went through a serious transformation ahead of his campaign for Bonds. 

While we encourage people to embrace their body in all its glory, Ryan's 14-kilogram weight loss was pretty amazing. 

"As soon as he was approached by the company he wanted to get into the best shape of his life," the insider told the Daily Mail at the time.
