'I lived off a punnet of grapes spending six hours a day at the gym and almost had a heart attack'

A Newcastle woman who used to spend six hours in the gym and live off a punnet of grapes a day has recovered to become a beauty queen.

Lana Kelly, 25, struggled with anorexia and bulimia for ten years but has now recovered. She helps run Miss Great Britain events to raise awareness and help others who are struggling with eating disorders.

She battled bulimia from the age of 13 through to 16 and then developed anorexia, but says her doctor didn't take her condition seriously because she was considered a "normal weight". In July 2018, when Lana was studying at university, Lana's illness got so bad that she was living off a punnet of grapes and spending six hours in the gym each day.
