The actor, 29, starred as Eric Forster in the Channel 4 soap, and has now shared how he developed an 'obsession' with food and exercise after being asked to film a nude scene in Shadow And Bone.
Hollyoaks star Angus Castle-Doughty has revealed he's secret battled an eating disorder and body dysmorphia for five years, after stripping naked for his role in a Netflix show.
Angus explained that after writing a fictional film, titled Dis-Morph-Ick, about his experience, he's finally changed the way he perceives his body, and credited his partner, former Hollyoaks star Niamh Blackshaw, for offering her support. He said: 'It wasn't an insecurity of ''oh I am going to get naked on camera'', it was more I wanted to do everything I possibly could do to work as hard as possible for the role.'
In August 2020, Angus began to ease his regime, but became insecure about his appearance when he landed the role of Eric on Hollyoaks. Angus told The Mirror that he was determined to acheive zero per cent body fat, and began skipping breakfast and going to the gym twice a day, only for his nude scene to be cut
It was reported earlier this year that due to cuts at Channel 4, a number of changes were on the way including less episodes of Hollyoaks per week, all at a shorter time. It's also been teased a massive stunt will air prior to the time jump, and before the new era of the show begins.
