Anorexic ballet dancer whose weight dropped to just 5 stone 9 lbs sought treatment after seeing her dad in tears
Megan Brewer, 22, from Lincoln, aspired to tour the world with a dance company, but her hobby soon turned into a dangerous obsession
A ballet dancer suffering from anorexia claimed her illness made her exercise for 10 hours a day, which resulted in her face turning "grey and gaunt". Teaching assistant Megan Brewer refers to her illness as a "demon".
The 22-year-old woman from Lincoln was studying in a dance school when she aspired to tour the world with a professional dance company. However, she did not know a long battle lay ahead of her once her health deteriorated due to the disorder. At one point, Brewer was relying on nine cups of coffee supplemented with caffeine pulls in order to just get through the day.
