Last year Zoe spoke candidly about her eating disorder and revealed the turning point was when a doctor told her she was 'going into sort of kidney failure'. The presenter explained that suffering with anorexia made her 'dead for a really long time' and 'a shell of a person' throughout her 20s. Speaking to Frankie Bridge on her Open Mind podcast, Zoe said she went to the doctor for pain in her lower back, thinking she was doing something wrong in the gym and had pulled a muscle. The presenter said: 'When I went to see the doctor, she basically told me that I was going into sort of kidney failure. It was my kidneys because I was just lacking in everything.'
