An anorexic who starved herself to within a day of death after being bullied for having ginger hair has overcome her condition to become - a hairdresser.
Annabel Norris, 20, shrank from eight stone to just four stone 13lbs after developing the serious mental health disorder when she was 13.
Horrified doctors warned Annabel she was less than 12 hours from death after she was rushed to hospital when she was 16.
However, she has managed to recover and has now launched a successful career.
Annabel, from Gildersmore, West Yorkshire, said -'I've got over all my body issues - and I'm delighted with my ginger hair just as it is. But during my years as an anorexic, it really was a living hell - I wouldn't wish it on anyone.'
