This episode is the perfect reminder to anyone whose misguided perception is that eating disorders are the preserve of a vain teenage girl.

In a candid chat with Sarah and Debbie, Charles opens up about his story of anorexia. He explains how he went from having a ‘perfectly normal’ life as a happy healthy father in his 30s, to finding himself on a ward and in treatment for a devastating psychiatric illness.

Charles reveals the incredibly poorly judged comments of a GP, who simply felt he should ‘go away and eat rice and chips’, and the difficult road to getting ‘heard’ and referred.

Now happily married and having emerged from lockdown considerably more ‘himself’, Charles is a shining example of recovery success and we hope you’ll enjoy hearing his conversation with the Wednesday’s Child crew.
