Chanelle 'battling eating disorder'

Big Brother 8 contestant Chanelle Hayes has revealed that she is still struggling with an eating disorder.

Speaking to Now, the 21-year-old said: "I realise now that I suffer with depression and have eating issues, but I am dealing with that by following a specially-devised eating plan and seeing my doctor."

The reality TV star recently attempted suicide after she was reportedly driven to despair by self-loathing and rows with her now ex-boyfriend Matt Bates.

She took four boxes of painkillers and a bottle of pills after drinking four bottles of wine.

Hayes told the magazine: "I just didn't see any point in me being around. I thought I couldn't make Matt happy and I couldn't make myself happy. In short, I couldn't do anything right."
