Now the 24-year-old from Andover has won a bodybuilding championship, after the journey to get her strength back inspired her to take up the sport.
Key Takeaways:
- From the age of 16, Nicola King had anorexia and for more than two years was in and out of hospital – at times close to death.
- In 2013, still extremely ill, Nicola boarded a flight to Mexico and spent three months on her own, gradually starting to eat again
