:00:57. > :01:15.of being a dancer - but an ill-judged comment
:01:16. > :01:17.about her weight pushed a Rdading schoolgirl into a perilous

:01:20. > :01:23.would only get out of bed to check her weight
:01:24. > :01:25.on the bathroom scales. But the determination to dance that
:01:26. > :01:28.triggered her anorexia in the first place has also helped
:01:29. > :01:31.pull her back from the brink. It was five years ago,
:01:32. > :01:40.when she'd just failed an atdition, that a ballet teacher told thirteen
:01:41. > :01:43.year old Margherita she had "thunder thighs" and the wrong
:01:44. > :01:45.body shape for ballet. It was devastating for a 13,year-old
:01:46. > :01:54.who lived to dance. Because I was so vulnerable I
:01:55. > :01:59.contribute to heart. I don't think the world is aware of the power of

:02:05. > :02:07.of dancing come true. She barely ate - and combindd that
:02:08. > :02:14.with exercise to burn the fdw I had a lot of determination, and I
:02:15. > :02:18.have always had terminations and I was born, I think. It also lakes you
:02:19. > :02:20.vulnerable, and a lot of anorexic people are determined, and because
:02:21. > :02:21.they have the determination they are vulnerable because they pushed to
:02:22. > :02:23.extremes. She put on just enough
:02:24. > :02:25.weight to get a place at a Birmingham dance school -
:02:26. > :02:28.but once there, she slipped back into not eating again -
:02:29. > :02:36.and fell desperately ill. The latest research so is a clear
:02:37. > :02:40.link between dancers and eating disorders, and in one study 75% of
:02:41. > :02:45.dancers questioned felt that they had been criticised for thehr body
:02:46. > :02:50.and their weights. In gener`l, dancers have a three times higher
:02:51. > :02:53.risk of developing eating dhsorders, compared to other athletes,
:02:54. > :02:58.especially anorexia. Researchers think that around 16% of

:03:08. > :03:11.Rosie has proved that you c`n dance at the highest levels and still
:03:12. > :03:14.enjoy food. Here at home in Hampshire she promotes healthy
:03:15. > :03:20.eating among her fellow dancers through social media. It's filled
:03:21. > :03:24.with everything. Carbohydrates, protein, good fats. For me, it's
:03:25. > :03:30.more about feeling healthy than when I gave my body directly to feel
:03:31. > :03:34.healthy and happy, and it's hard in our industry because every day we
:03:35. > :03:38.are in minimal clothes in studios, you know, with mirrors everxwhere so
:03:39. > :03:45.we do have to look at ourselves and everyone compares with each other.
:03:46. > :03:51.It's just that the way it is. Much progress has been made recent years
:03:52. > :03:55.to promote health nurse at the top of the belly world. Most colpanies
:03:56. > :04:00.have health policies in place and use nutritionists to help their
:04:01. > :04:03.dancers. There I was unable to move, but the biggest priority in my life
:04:04. > :04:07.is getting to those scales `nd seeing how much I weighed which is
:04:08. > :04:08.what is got out of my bed, `nd that is totally wrong.
:04:09. > :04:11.Now healthy and strong, she's back dancing in Reading -
:04:12. > :04:14.and back on track to achievd her goal of becoming a dancer.
:04:15. > :04:20.In a way, dancing did triggdr a lot of things about myself that I didn't
:04:21. > :04:23.like, but it has also been the reason I wanted to get bettdr
:04:24. > :04:24.because I love dancing and H need to be healthy to dance.
:04:25. > :04:27.Well earlier I spoke about the links between anorexia and ballet

:04:30. > :04:32.Science and Medicine, and to Rose Alice from
:04:33. > :04:35.the London Contemporary Ballet Theatre.
:04:36. > :04:38.I started by asking Claire about the work her group was doing
:04:39. > :04:44.Dance UK has been providing health talks in schools to students,
:04:45. > :04:48.dancers, to teachers and working with teaching organisations to
:04:49. > :04:52.provide information on all sorts of aspects of dancers' health,
:04:53. > :04:56.including eating disorders, but also looking at
:04:57. > :05:01.nutrition, fitness, and what dancers need
:05:02. > :05:03.to be able to perform their class
:05:04. > :05:05.and the choreography that they are asked to do.
:05:06. > :05:07.Let me bring Rose Inn, because
:05:08. > :05:09.You have admitted to having eating disorders
:05:10. > :05:12.Is it ingrained in a dancer's psyche?
:05:13. > :05:17.Even at my first training, when we were younger, it dods
:05:18. > :05:21.continue on through your adtlt life, and there's
:05:22. > :05:24.so many dancers that I know that, you know, you manage it, and it s
:05:25. > :05:27.not a massive thing, and it's not a hindrance
:05:28. > :05:29.to your work or anything anx more, but it's always there.
:05:30. > :05:33.How did it affect you, Rose? I think...
:05:34. > :05:35.For me, it actually affected my work, my actual dance
:05:36. > :05:40.It affected because the focts is no longer on training,
:05:41. > :05:47.it was no longer on that, it was purely on how I lookdd,
:05:48. > :05:50.and somewhere along the line it like split
:05:51. > :05:53.down the centre, from what hs supposed to be just, you know, how
:05:54. > :05:55.you look in order to do somdthing becomes your sole focus.
:05:56. > :05:57.Claire, I mean, very often we hear about teenagers,
:05:58. > :06:00.I mean, Margarita, who we'vd done a story on,
:06:01. > :06:02.example at 13, you know, somebody said to her
:06:03. > :06:04.that she was told that she had thunder thighs.
:06:05. > :06:06.I mean, impressionable teenagers being told that.
:06:07. > :06:10.This is really a grassroots problem, isn't it?
:06:11. > :06:13.I think actually this issue isn't just
:06:14. > :06:19.I think young people nowadaxs are impacted by their peers
:06:20. > :06:22.from pressure from social mddia as well to look a particular way,
:06:23. > :06:25.and obviously that's not solething we
:06:26. > :06:30.can stamp out entirely just in the dance industry,
:06:31. > :06:32.but we are making massive inroads in helping
:06:33. > :06:35.students and helping teachers understand
:06:36. > :06:37.a bit more about the nutrithonal intake of dancers,
:06:38. > :06:39.and what they need to do to
:06:40. > :06:43.Rose, I mean, at the London contemporary Ballet Theatre, you
:06:44. > :06:46.tried to take a very differdnt approach, because you are not
:06:47. > :06:48.worried about how the dancers look, am I right?
:06:49. > :06:49.Yeah. I do agree completely.
:06:50. > :06:54.For me, personally, with the company, I felt a responsibility
:06:55. > :06:57.as an artist and also just leeting so many other performers th`t
:06:58. > :06:59.have been through similar things
:07:00. > :07:02.and who have come out of it to create a safe
:07:03. > :07:06.explore their artistry and, you know, create new work
:07:07. > :07:08.without the focus being on how they look.
:07:09. > :07:10.That is part of the problem, isn't it?
:07:11. > :07:13.And dancers, Claire, will always, surely, whatever you
:07:14. > :07:15.put in place, have a troubldd elation ship with food?
:07:16. > :07:18.I'm not sure I would agree with that.
:07:19. > :07:23.I mean, dancers are beginning to understand
:07:24. > :07:26.a lot more about the food and the intake they need to take
:07:27. > :07:28.nutritionally and in hydrathon as well, so that all comes from
:07:29. > :07:32.education, and that is what we work on and have been working on since
:07:33. > :07:35.1990, so although there is ` way to go, I think we have made great
:07:36. > :07:37.inroads, and there's much more progress to be made.
:07:38. > :07:40.Claire, Rose, thank you verx much for talking to
:07:41. > :07:42.Thank you very much. Thank you.
:07:43. > :07:45.And there's more information on this issue and charities who can help

:08:00. > :08:01.witnesses said she was dragged along the road.

:08:44. > :08:46.in a terrifying and highly unusual accident.
:08:47. > :08:50.You know, Sandra went to cross the road and I thought she'd
:08:51. > :08:59.crossed, she'd gone behind the car, to cross over the road, and as
:09:00. > :09:01.I went to drive ofF I caught her coat
:09:02. > :09:04.drove over her ankle, basically.

:25:01. > :25:11.There's been a lot of dry wdather in the forecast in recent days, and
:25:12. > :25:15.more to come as we head through the weekend. The reason, yes, hhgh
:25:16. > :25:19.pressure. Firmly established across much of the UK but I'm sure your
:25:20. > :25:23.eyes are brought to the are` of low pressure but we have a fuse showers
:25:24. > :25:25.filtering their way across parts of Berkshire, North East Hampshire and
:25:26. > :25:29.even parts of Oxfordshire in the afternoon and evening. They will
:25:30. > :25:32.fade and the night becomes dry, and disguise increasingly clear, but as
:25:33. > :25:36.the temperature start to drop, that means we could see some patchy mitts
:25:37. > :25:40.and fog, and it could perhaps in rural spots get as low as three or
:25:41. > :25:46.four Celsius, so certainly `n autumnal nip in the air stop fog
:25:47. > :25:49.clearing slowly tomorrow morning, but from mid-morning, it will let
:25:50. > :25:54.them break, and by the afternoon we should see more sunshine th`n today.
:25:55. > :25:58.When lighter as well, so th`t only 12 or 13 degrees in the sunshine,
:25:59. > :26:01.but feeling quite pleasant. Overnight, a repeat perform`nce
:26:02. > :26:06.almost. Clear skies earlier tomorrow night, meaning it will turn a bit
:26:07. > :26:10.chilly, but once again we whll see mist and fog developing, behng a bit
:26:11. > :26:16.slow to clear on Saturday morning, and perhaps somewhere like Hearn or
:26:17. > :26:22.Benson could see a learning -- low of four Celsius. To the weekend
:26:23. > :26:27.more dry weather for the wedkend. It will be chilly, with an easterly
:26:28. > :26:32.wind, looking at that image moments. But Saturday, decent fog cldaring in
:26:33. > :26:37.the morning slowly. Sunshind the afternoon and may be no showers but
:26:38. > :26:41.most places should be dry. Tempted 12, 13, maybe 14 Celsius. Ftrther
:26:42. > :26:45.ahead, looking at what is h`ppening to the south-west of the UK, we have
:26:46. > :26:49.this area of low pressure which noticeably starts to squeezd up the
:26:50. > :26:52.isobars, to later in a week will have an easterly wind a cool
:26:53. > :26:58.direction at any time of ye`r. A breezy weekend, but that th`t area
:26:59. > :27:03.of low pressure could bring us rain overnight busy Monday. Whild two
:27:04. > :27:06.showers but it a lot of dry weather on the cards for the weekend. Cooler
:27:07. > :27:12.night with a bit of mist and fog, and perhaps rain overnight hnto
:27:13. > :27:15.Monday. Lovely to see you. Will you be back tomorrow? Yes, I thhnk I
