Just when you think you know someone, it was great to have a chat with this legend.

We spoke about how his anxiety developed and was a constant drumming in his head.

His boozing and how much that didn't help.

Great to have Rose on taking us through her personal experiences of competing as a bodybuilder, the good and the bad.

In this episode we cover:

-How her relationship with food suffered, from binging to then having to diet harshly.

-Feeling lost, not knowing how to act in environments where she had no ‘structure’ or ‘regime’ to follow.
