You know her off of Mash Report and 8 out of 10 Cats. She’s the funniest, brightest and most charming open soul. She has a pretty intense flavour of OCD which is managed with aplomb (and drugs) but has had a profound impact on her relationship with eating and her body and she’s disarmingly and beautifully honest about it with me. Oof.
