Big Brother housemate Sunshine Martyn reportedly struggled with an eating disorder, that saw her slender frame shrink to a skinny size six.

The 24 year old medical student hasn’t had an easy life. on tonight’s show we heard her speaking about the death of her mum and grandfather and how their passing on, inspired her to work hard and make the most of her life. However, sources suggest that she wasn’t always so strong and that at the age of 15, she struggled with severe anorexia.

The News Of The World quote Sunshine (real name Yvette) as saying:

“I am very honest about the eating disorder I developed. I look in the mirror and I see somebody who is ugly. I cover myself with pretty clothes and tell the world I’m sexy, but inside I feel hideous.”

“My choice has been to feel ugly but to tell the world I am beautiful – that way, maybe one day I will come to believe it.”
