The 27-year-old has spent nearly two decades struggling with her weight and appearance from the age of seven - becoming a ‘fussy’ aa well as a secret eater.

Hannah said, “I’ve tried every diet going and have been a member of so many slimming clubs.

“Some people have smoking, drugs, alcohol addictions to help with their day-to-day life and stresses - mine is binge eating.

“Around two years ago I decided to refer myself to the eating disorder service in Northampton.”
