Vogue Williams makes heartbreaking admission about struggling with disordered eating from the age of 16 during her early modelling days

Vogue Williams has made a heartbreaking admission about struggling with disordered eating from the age of 16 in her early modelling days.

The TV presenter, 39, bravely spoke out about her battle with food in a new interview, as she revealed she got swept up in ‘mad’ diets.

The mother of three, who shares her children with husband Spencer Matthews, also touched on the societal pressure young girls currently face.

Vogue opened up about how the constant barrage of diet and fitness advice led to unhealthy habits that dramatically affected her relationship with food.

Speaking on the the trending diet and fitness advice on the latest episode of her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me with Joanne McNally, she said: ‘There’s always someone telling you to do something,’ 

‘I always think, train and eat as well as you can – there’s no way anyone can eat healthy all the time. But I used to do that bulls**t all the time, and it did make me have disordered eating for a while.’

She continued: ‘I’d go on these mental diets, like I’d go to this new gym and they’d be like, “You can only eat this” or, “You can’t have ketchup”. 

‘Just mad. Since I was 16 there’s been that kind of thing of, now you have to do this to look like this. It can be quite full-on, and for younger girls having to look at that s**t, it’s a bit of a nightmare.’ 

Vogue enjoys running to stay in shape and eats everything in moderation, telling RTE earlier this year: ‘I think I’ve found a really good balance in my life. I never put up [on social media] what I eat because I wouldn’t say I eat really well all the time. I’m just big into eating non-processed food.’

She has previously been candid about the pressures she’s faced around body image throughout her career, including being subjected to both fat-shaming and skinny-shaming.

Before her first pregnancy, she says she was criticised for being ‘too big,’ which left her feeling under pressure to lose weight despite being in great shape.

After giving birth to her first child, Theodore, Vogue faced a fresh wave of trolling accusing her of being ‘too thin’.

She hit back by publicly sharing her weight to silence the cruel comments. 

‘I’m 64kg and 5’11… that’s where my weight comfortably sits,’ she wrote online.

During her first pregnancy, Vogue also spoke out about the backlash she received for continuing to exercise – revealing the online abuse was so bad it caused her extreme anxiety and forced her to seek reᴀssurance from her doctor that her baby was healthy.

The presenter, who has long championed honest conversations around mental health, has said that managing anxiety has been an ongoing challenge. 

She says exercise, eating well and cutting back on alcohol are some of the ways she looks after her mental wellbeing.

Recently, Vogue sent pulses racing in a skimpy yellow ʙικιɴι as she confessed in a candid Instagram clip that her new swimwear ‘makes it look like she has boobs’.

The model flaunted her washboard abs in her scallop two-piece as she continued her family getaway in the Caribbean island of St Barts.

In the Story, Vogue made a statement with a pair of large square white sunglᴀsses as she went makeup-free for her post.

To finish her beach look, she slicked back her blonde tresses into a side-parted low bun and kept her accessories to a minimum.
