Summary
Eating disorders are often seen as an illness that affects young women, but research estimates that one in four people with eating disorders are male. As a result, boys and men with eating disorders most often live in silence with the double stigma of having a mental health condition that is not recognised in their gender. In this BBC documentary, former England cricketer and TV presenter Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff goes on a personal journey into the eating disorder he has kept secret for over 20 years–bulimia. He discusses his own experience and meets specialists and young men with eating disorders across the UK.
