Gok Wan has stated that he felt so low during his anorexia battle that he "didn't care if [he] died". `

The How To Look Good naked star revealed that he dropped down from 21 stone to just 11 stone within the space of seven months.

Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper he said: "Any negative word, feeling, experience you can imagine, put it all into a horse-bag, shake it and swallow the lot - that's how you feel when you have your darkest moment with anorexia."

He added: "I didn't care if I died."

Wan further revealed that he threw himself into work to act as a distraction from his disorder saying: "I was work, work work. That became everything... [But] I have to work a bit more on the other stuff. I don't want to be on my deathbed with just a really nice bank account."
