Bianca Gascoigne, the stepdaughter of England football legend Paul Gascoigne, has revealed that she had weight issues growing up and was even bullied. "'I used to be a chubby kid and would get picked on. I have body dysmorphia (a mental disorder characterised by the obsessive idea that some aspect of one's own appearance is severely flawed and needs exceptional measures to hide or fix it). Now, when I look at myself in the mirror, I will always feel like the chubby kid," said Bianca, a reality TV star and model.


"My body dysmorphia started when I was 18. I did become a bit anorexic, I was working out three times a day and really being very strict on my food. I lost a lot of weight. Everyone was saying to me that I looked really ill, but I actually thought I looked the best I've ever looked," she added.
