Skye Wheatley shared her battle with eating disorders on Tuesday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Australia.
The former Big Brother star and influencer opened up about her struggles and discussed how being in the spotlight affected her self-image and led to bulimia.
“I had eating disorders when I was much younger,” the 30-year-old told her campmates.
‘Just that pressure, Instagram and being in the spotlight. I felt like I had to look a certain way.”
She continued, “I’m a really bad binge eater. I used to do it once a week. You would feel sick at the amount of food I ate in one sitting.

‘I think it’s my ADHD. With ADHD you are always looking for that quick dopamine hit. Packets of crisps, Maltesers, two minute noodles, cubes of chocolate.
‘Everything within one sitting. I would finish it all and do it in an hour.”
Skye previously revealed that she has suffered from anorexia and binge eating in the past, and although she has been doing much better since becoming a mother, she still binges.
In a 10-minute video posted to her Instagram and TikTok, the former Big Brother star showed her followers all the food she ate on her last binge and how many calories it was, but she didn’t say exactly when this was .
However, she emphasized that she has not been diagnosed with binge eating disorder by a medical professional.

“I had eating disorders when I was much younger,” the 30-year-old told her campmates. ‘Just that pressure, Instagram and being in the spotlight. I felt like I had to look a certain way.”
‘I’ve struggled with my body image and the way my body looks, and I didn’t have a good relationship with food. I eat to the point where all I do is sleep, eat until I’m exhausted,” she began.
“I wanted to share with you how many calories I ate during my last binge session,” she said in the video as she sat in front of chocolate, cupcakes, ice cream, candy and pizza.
‘All this on my table is what I ate during my last binge, it wasn’t everything.
‘This is how many calories I consumed, it was over a day, I had exactly 3,792 calories, I went to Coles and got all my favorite snacks and I started eating.’
Skye previously revealed that she has suffered from anorexia and binge eating in the past, and although she has done much better since becoming a mother, she still binges.
Skye added that she went to her mums and had a sandwich and then took her two sons, Forest, four, and Bear, one, to McDonalds and ate their leftovers.
She has a much better relationship with food now than when she was younger.
“When I was younger and living at home, I would do it once a week as an escape,” she said.
‘I’ve had bulimia, anorexia, not severe anorexia, but there were phases in my life where I didn’t eat and that led to binge eating.
“I haven’t starved myself since puberty. I have a good relationship with food now. I don’t count my calories, I don’t deprive myself.”
“I wanted to share with you how many calories I ate during my last binge session,” she said in the video as she sat in front of chocolate, cupcakes, ice cream, candy and pizza.
