Alicia Douvall - born Sarah Howes - explained that she developed anorexia when she was just 12-years-old, and all because her dad had strict rules about appearances.

The Sun quoted her as saying: “My dad was a local Conservative councillor, a self-made millionaire, and just a very, very strict person. It felt like we all lived in fear.

"He called me names and I was the one who he said was ugly and had no brains.

“And that, to me, was worse than getting, you know, a punch or hit, because you knew physical violence was wrong and that makes them in a weaker position."

Alicia, who has undergone over 300 cosmetic procedures, also revealed that she developed anorexia as a coping mechanism at the age of 11, as it helped her to regain control.

She said: “I starved myself for days on end.

“I didn’t eat and, if I did eat, I’d just have a lettuce leaf for breakfast, you know, half a cucumber slice for lunch.

“And I carried on like that until I was literally just surviving off water and I’d be really happy if I went three, four days without food."

When Alicia was expelled from school at the age of fourteen, she fell in with a bad crowd and began drinking and taking drugs, which caused her to develop epilepsy.

And, after leaving home, Alicia found herself in a hostel "with a load of heroin addicts".

She said: “I just wanted to get away from Sarah Howes, who had a bad life and was a complete loser.”

Since her eviction Alicia admitted she was gutted to have been kicked out the CBB house, but said she was looking forward to seeing her children, Georgia and Papaya.
