Dancing Show Judge Reveals Struggles with Disordered Eating

A 44-year-old judge on a popular British dance competition show has revealed that he continues to experience eating and body image problems decades after struggling with anorexia. An Oct. 18 article on the website stv.tv provided the following details:
Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has confessed that he still has problems with his eating habits. The choreographer suffered from anorexia in his 20s.

He told Weekend magazine: "I think I've still got an eating disorder.

"I can eat healthily to a point then I will crack and binge - pizzas especially. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it."

The 42-year-old admitted that the pressure of being a dancer led to have problems with his body shape.

Craig added: "When I looked in the mirror, I felt fat, so I didn't eat. Obviously, I couldn't have been fat at that weight, but I felt it."
