As she began to tear up, the Hustle star added: ‘It’s hard when I talk about the emotional stuff… it’s hard. I can do this.
‘I wasn’t valuing myself, and telling myself negative things. That was hard. I’m trying to change those patterns, so you’re more loving and treating yourself with respect.
‘I’m working on self love, and that’s a hard concept to master.’

Rebel said she’d previously reached her lowest weight when she had malaria.
‘I was at my skinniest when I had malaria when I almost died, when I came out of hospital everyone was like ‘Wow what did you do?’ I almost died…’
Rebel also revealed that she wanted to get healthy in 2020 because she had decided to freeze her eggs, in case she wants to start a family in future.
She added: ‘I was thinking about fertility and having good quality eggs in the bank, so I was like – OK, I’m going to do this. I’m going to get healthy.’
Rebel confirmed she had lost a whopping 28kg so far this year, and puts a large part of that down to her passion for hiking.
