WWE star Alexa Bliss has revealed she had breast enlargement surgery aged 17 to help her overcome her body-image problems.

Bliss, who recently clashed with SmackDown's female champ Bayley on the WWE Stomping Grounds card, is one of the biggest female stars in wrestling.

But growing up, the performer endured a tough time and she has now opened up on how she had to overcome an eating disorder.

According to WrestlingInc, she said: "There's a lot of rumours about it like, 'Oh did Alex Bliss get implants?' I've had implants since I was 17.

"I'm very open and honest about it. When I had my eating disorder I got down to eighty-five pounds.

"My doctor told my mom said if [I] don't get admitted I will die. They treated my health symptoms, they didn't treat the mental side of it.

"The second time I was hospitalised they treated it like a mental disorder and a mental illness and that's actually when it started getting better.

"So, I was very self-conscience about my body and the fact that I felt like I looked like a seven-year-old boy."

Bliss went on to explain how having breast implants has changed her life, and she hasn't looked back.

She added: "There are studies that show [implants] helps women recover from eating disorders because they feel more womanly and they feel better about their bodies and their self-image.

"All the doctors in on this one procedure were my paediatrician, my eating disorder doctor, my psychologist, my psychiatrist.

"I will never regret doing that for myself because it helped me get over my eating disorder and my body image issues."
