Hollyoaks star Mikyla Dodd details her battle with an eating disorder after previously shedding nine stone: 'Food dominates my thoughts'


The actress, 47, is best known for starring as Chloe Bruce on the soap Hollyoaks from 2000 to 2004.

In 2007, Mikyla released her memoir The Fat Girl From Hollyoaks which detailed her battle with disordered eating and how she eventually lost nine stone. Paul Cooper, who has also starred in The Doom Busters and Meet The Lovegroves, said: 'This film will help play a vital role in shining a light on a hugely important issue, and I'm very proud to be involved in it.' A Day With An Eating Disorder, which is being released later this year, aims to shed light and reduce the stigma surrounding the illnesses which include anorexia nervosa, bulimia and compulsive exercising.
