Freddie will open up about his 20-year struggle with bulimia in a new documentary released by the BBC
Eight years ago, Freddie first went public about his struggles with bulimia while filming Sky1’s documentary Flintoff: From Lords To The Ring. Revealing that his battle with the disorder first began in 2001, Freddie explained that upon joining the England cricket team, he felt the pressure to keep his weight down, and almost 20 years later, he’s still learning to cope.
In the trailer for the BBC documentary, Freddie says: “This is such a hard thing to define or even admit. For years I’ve managed to keep it hidden – it’s not right, is it? I know it’s not right.” As well as opening up about his personal experiences with bulimia, Freddie will also meet with sufferers and specialists to challenge the stigma around eating disorders in men.
