The Shape I’m In: Nikki Hayes

DJ Nikki Hayes accepts anorexia is part of who she is. “I suffered with anorexia when I was younger, so it’s is a little bit like being an alcoholic, you always have anorexia,” says the 36-year-old.

Before her daughter Farrah arrived 19 months ago, she had slimmed down to a size eight. “I am probably striving to get back to that size,” she says. “I always try to get that extra pound off or that extra stone off or whatever. I probably always want to get lower and lower.

“But I guess the difference now is that my body shape has changed since having Farrah, so that’s something that is not in my control as much as it was before. Everything changes: your hips are wider .... I had a Caesarean section, so you’ve excess skin in a place where you can’t feel it anymore.”
