Rebecca Adlington insecure about body image

The double Olympic gold medallist Rebecca Adlington is credited with inspiring a generation of young swimmers, but despite her success in the pool she has admitted to feeling very insecure about the way she looks.

The 24-year-old retired from competitive swimming earlier this year and is currently appearing in I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

She was reduced to tears during a conversation about body image.

Former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies and agony aunt Suzie Hayman spoke to BBC Breakfast.
