Anorexia: Woman in hospital for six years now inspiring others

A woman who was in hospital for six years with anorexia said she thought she was going to die.

Katrina Cheshire, 24, from Uckfield, East Sussex, lost about three stone (19kg) in weight and spent most of her teenage years in hospital.

Ms Cheshire has now fully recovered and is an ambassador for the NHS, supporting other young women by telling her story.

Ms Cheshire said: "I was cared for for so long that I now want to care for others."
