Actress Celia Imrie says she received treatment for anorexia as a teenager and describes the experience as a “horrible time.” In interviews, she discusses how the eating disorder developed during her youth and how she looked back on that period as difficult.
Imrie links the start of the condition to a personal setback: she says she developed the disorder after being rejected by the Royal Ballet School. Both outlets present her comments as part of her reflection on past health struggles and the treatment she underwent. While the reporting varies mainly in wording and brevity, the core details remain the same: Imrie experienced anorexia during her teenage years and later sought or received treatment, which she portrays in negative terms when recalling the experience.
