Fitness influencer Alice Liveing has revealed that she was rushed to A&E after a routine GP check-up. 

The blogger, 32, who rose to fame with her Alice-with-the-abs persona, took to Instagram Story on Monday to share the health update with fans.

Alice revealed she had been taking to Accident and Emergency after a mystery ailment arose during a routine appointment. 

Sharing a snap from her hospital bed with a cannula in her arm, Alice wrote: ‘What a weird old day. Routine GP appointment turned a quick trip to A&E. The NHS is amazing and I’m always in awe of everyone who keeps it running.’

Alice added with another selfie: ‘Not the dramatic day I was expecting, but also makes you 10x more grateful for everything.’

Sharing that she had since been discharged, Alice posted a photo of lunch of anchovies, dill and caper on toast with the caption: ‘Home and grateful for health.’ 

Getting candid about her health last year with The Sunday Times, she reflected on her previous ‘Alice-with-the-abs’ persona, which saw her front her Instagram content with a muscular yet tiny frame.

But Alice revealed that her weight dropped so low, her periods stopped. 

Despite becoming a hugely successful cookbook author and receiving publishing deals that celebrity chefs would envy, Alice has revealed that her dedication to so-called ‘clean eating; left her sleeping badly, with thinning hair and ‘terrible’ skin.

She has revealed she was 25 years old and had just met her now-husband Paddy when she visited a fertility specialist to find out why her periods had stopped; but she was shocked by the doctor’s assessment.

‘She told me, “You’re not eating enough and doing too much exercise, your body is in a state of stress and if you carry on you won’t be able to have children.” Those words changed my life,’ Alice said.

Following the news she might struggle to conceive, Alice began following a programme to gain 10kg which saw her exercising less and eating more. However, as she slowly put on weight, the influencer has revealed she struggled to always stick to the programme and fell back into ‘bad behaviours’ from time to time.

As she changed her life, so too did her career, and Alice dropped ‘Clean Eating’ from her Instagram title in 2017.

Now Alice’s page is full off encouraging images of a woman of a healthy weight encouraging others to improve their strength and fuel their bodies accordingly.

She has just penned her newest book, Give Me Strength (which is also the name of her fitness app) but has revealed the process of writing it was ‘painful’. 

Alice said: ‘I bear a lot of responsibility for perpetuating a potentially damaging narrative.’

She added she didn’t realise what she was doing was ‘wrong’ but added she can now ‘own her mistakes’.   

Looking back on her life as Clean Eating Alice, the influencer revealed she was often exhausted and in private, avoided social events that involved food or made excuses about having already eaten when she did attend dinners. 

Despite this, Alice would pretend differently online and sometimes posted snaps of enjoying pizza with her friends on Instagram (even though she had ordered a salad for dinner).

‘That’s the bit I feel guiltiest about — I was lying, being disingenuous,’ she said, adding that her previous Instagram life was ‘smoke and mirrors’. 

The influencer tracks her issues with food back to being a student at theatre school.

After a year of boozing and eating junk food, as many students do, Alice claims one of her tutors told her she should be ‘conscious of her body’ if she ever wanted to pursue showbusiness seriously.

The words clearly stung as Alice took a personal training course, began dieting, and dropped from a size 12 to a size 8 within months.

She opened her Instagram account alongside her body transformation and it rapidly gained several thousands of followers. At 22, and, in her words, with ‘no qualifications to write a book’, she was offered ‘life changing money’ to author books on clean eating and weight loss.

Now, as Alice embarks upon a new mission encouraging people to be healthy rather than to ‘eat clean’ she has suggested that some people within the ‘fitspo’ community are struggling with the same food issues she once had to deal with.

However for Alice herself, she finds ‘joy’ in both life and food.
