Freddie hopes the show will resonate with people who may be wrestling with Bulimia, helping them to confront the condition.

What is Bulimia?

Bulimia is an eating disorder and mental health condition.

The NHS explains:“People who have bulimia go through periods where they eat a lot of food in a very short amount of time (binge eating) and then make themselves sick, use laxatives (medication to help them poo) or do excessive exercise, or a combination of these, to try to stop themselves gaining weight.”

According to the health body, men and women of any age can get bulimia, but it’s most common in young women and typically starts in the mid to late teens.
