WATCH: Laurencekirk Strongman's eating disorder warning to kids

The strongest man in the UK is telling Northsound he blames reality TV for fueling eating disorder.

Laurencekirk bodybuilder Paul Bentorn was crowned the UK’s Strongest Man over the weekend and he's worried body-conscious kids are skipping meals to lose weight, keep their figure, and get that "Love Island body."

"Everybody's trying to be thin and have a six-pack...the Love Island body if you like" - PAUL BENTON

He told us: "There seems to be an issue with kids not eating at school, and it's something I'm really trying to break down and help the kids realise that eating food is a good thing, being healthy is a good things, going to the gym and lifting and eating right...you shouldn't be shaming people for that.

"I'm asking them every day what they're eating, because nutrition is the main part of going to the gym. Without food you won't really get anywhere. They're going out the house on an empty stomach and they're not really eating until they come home at night and they're going to the gym between then.

"With all of this lack of eating and wanting to go to the gym, they're creating this 'skinny jean' population of getting smaller - everybody's trying to be thin and have a six-pack...the Love Island body if you like.

"It promotes a really unhealthy image, that they can only get on that show because they look like, and they look a specific way, and some of these body images aren't particularly healthy. A lot of them are proceeds of drastic dieting and drastic exercises.

"My title came from a balanced diet, balanced nutrition, looking after yourself. There shouldn't be any starvation or the extremes of the fitness world, and I think a lot of the youngsters are gravitating towards stuff like that to get these bodies that they see on TV."

Scotland's Chief Medical Officer has promised to look at eating disorder services following our investigation in to the support on offer across the country.

We've been looking at what it's really like to suffer from illnesses like anorexia and try to find help across the country.

Our findings showed an eight-per-cent increase in people seeking help in the last five years.

But we also uncovered that some face waiting up to eleven months to be seen by professionals.

We took our findings to the Chief Medical Officer for Scotland Catherine Calderwood.

She told Northsound News: "What we have across Scotland are different services that look different from each other, some of those are provided in the community, some of those are in hospital settings.

"What we would like to understand better is what that looks like for individuals, people should be able to access the same help whether they live in Shetland or the middle of Glasgow.

"We must also make sure our services are adequate for them.

"It's not just enough to say we knew that that's down to more people accessing our services more than they did, those services still need to be adequate.

"An eight-per-cent increase is a significant number of people that will need input across that spectrum."

The Scottish Government is also creating new guidelines for medical professionals dealing with patients with eating disorders.
