Love Island’s Anton Danyluk may be a ripped reality star but he openly admits he has battled body insecurity all his life.
The 28-year-old, who was overweight as a child and endured body-shaming and bullying at school, reacted by hitting the gym to build muscle and confidence. But despite his now toned body he is still anxious about his appearance - an insecurity he shares with more men than ever before.
In a new BBC documentary - Anton Danyluk on Body Shame - the online fitness coach delves into the growing problem of body image insecurity among young men. While making the programme Anton, who is from Blackridge, West Lothian, acknowledged he may be part of the issue by peppering his socials with muscly selfies and gym shots and has vowed to change.
