All smiles: Geordie Hospital's dental nurse Abbey on TV fame, pulling teeth, and speaking out about anorexia

Abbey Johnson is among the scene-stealers in the fourth episode of Geordie Hospital as she tells viewers about her - occasionally gory - job as a dental nurse at the Newcastle Dental Hospital at the RVI.

Abbey also opens up about her struggles with anorexia - and how she decided to become a dental nurse after an occupational therapist suggest her "lovely teeth" might stand her in good stead, while she was an inpatient in Darlington.

The Walker -born woman - who went to Benfield School - told ChronicleLive about her Geordie Hospital experience.
