More than 20 children battling eating disorders were rushed to hospital every single day last year - as admissions soared to a terrifying record high.
Some 7,665 under-18s in England were so unwell with anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders in 2021 that they needed hospital treatment.
That is up 46 per cent from the 5,249 children who needed hospital help in 2020.
