A woman who suffered from body dysmorphic disorder has overcome her illness by becoming a LINGERIE MODEL. Roxy Drummond, 24, used to be so self-conscious about her appearance that she applied a full face of makeup every night before going to sleep. After years of cruel comments from school bullies who called her ‘ugly’, she became obsessed with her looks and would spend hours scrutinising herself in front of the mirror. The pretty brunette from Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire, spent up to three hours a day applying makeup and even refused to open her front door unless she was wearing false eyelashes.
