“I’m anorexic & in recovery. I’m not ashamed to say it out loud anymore,” Holliday tweeted on May 1st.
“I’m the result of a culture that celebrates thinness & equates that to worth, but I get to write my own narrative now. I’m finally able to care for a body that I’ve punished my entire life & I am finally free.”

However, the 19 stone model has said she feels happier in the last six months through her recovery from anorexia and more “in her power” that she ever has in her life.

“It’s so important that people know that anyone of any shape or size can have anorexia,” one tweeted. Another wrote, “The narrative around [eating disorders] needs to be widened to include people of all sizes.”
