'Dieting became an obsession... I didn't realise I had anorexia'

Wales is being underfunded compared to England when it comes to support for people with eating disorders. That's according to the charity, Beat, who have spoken to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Wales' Week In Week Out programme.

The Welsh government spends Β£250,000 a year to improve care for children and another one-million on specialist eating disorder services for adults. In England, however, Β£30m is spent a year on children's eating disorder services alone.

In the Week in Week Out programme, rugby referee Nigel Owens looks at the growing number of men and boys suffering from eating disorders, and speaks to 25 year old James Mannion, who joined Oliver Hides in the studio to tell his story.
