Zara McDermott to explore eating disorders for a new documentary

OHMYGOSSIP — Zara McDermott is to explore eating disorders for a new documentary for BBC Three.
The 25-year-old reality star – who has previously explored hard-hitting topics such as rape culture and revenge porn for the broadcaster – is “keen to explore reasons behind the rise” of hospitalisations related to disordered eating as she aims to bring “visibility” to another sensitive subject.
In a statement, she said: ““I feel honoured to be making my third documentary with BBC Three and bringing visibility to this complex subject. The stats regarding eating disorders are shocking and I’m keen to explore reasons behind the rise. While I use my own social platform to share my personal lifestyle, I am keen to understand more about this topic and the impact of social media to educate both myself and others on how we can all do better and be more aware of our digital output.
Statistics show that hospital admissions for children aged 17 and under regarding an eating disorder shot up by 40% throughout 2021 and the former ‘Love Island’ star ultimately wants the film to bring a “wider awareness” to an issue that “severely affects” young people.
She added: “Crucially, I hope this film brings wider awareness and understanding to something that severely affects children and young adults.”
While an air date for ‘Zara McDermott: Disordered Eating’ is yet to be announced, BBC Three Controller Fiona Campbell promised that the one-off hour-long documentary will be handled with the “care and rigour it deserves.”
She said: “Zara has emerged as brilliant new presenting talent for BBC Three who approaches every subject she covers with honesty and integrity. Disordered eating is a very sensitive area that overwhelmingly effects the audience we are trying to reach. We promise that we will approach the subject with the care and rigour it deserves and we hope the result is a film that can really make a difference”
