Freddie first went public about his struggles with bulimia in 2012 while filming Sky1's documentary Flintoff: From Lords To The Ring. Revealing that his battle with the disorder first began in 2001, Freddie explained that upon joining the England cricket team, he felt the pressure to keep his weight down, and almost 20 years later, he's still learning to cope.
"This is such a hard thing to define or even admit. For years I've managed to keep it hidden – it's not right, is it?" he said in the show. "I know it's not right."
