NICOLA McLean exclusively opens up to OK! about the truth behind her shock weight loss, revealing she has an eating disorder.

Reality star Nicola McLean talks to us about her battle with her own body and reveals that she lost nearly half her own body weight since having her baby Striker.

Speaking in an emotional interview, Nicola tells OK!: "I know everyone's obsessed with my weight loss. So am I. And that's why I've lost so much. I put on so much weight when I was having Striker.

"I began by losing the baby weight healthily, but it's gone too far now."

When asked whether she has an eating disorder, the star says: "Yes. I go for long periods of not eating. But then I will eat. I'm not afraid of eating, but I don't eat normally.

"I don't make myself sick. I wouldn't eat everyday. No way."

Nicola says she is fully aware of the dangers behind what she is doing and says: "I know bodies need fuel. I'm starving myself and that could be life-threatening. I know I'm not being healthy."

However very worryingly, the star reveals that she has no plans to stop yet, "I'm not ready to conquer this yet. I have a strong mind and until I want to put on weight, I wont. And I don't."
