However, over several years her weight fell from over eight stone to five.
And now Rachael, from Warrington, Cheshire, has lifted the lid of her anorexia ordeal and urged children not to try to copy super-thin celebs and models.
"Victoria Beckham was my ideal. I thought she looked great - skinny with big boobs. She's who I wanted to look like," The Daily Star quoted her as saying.
However, Rachael became so ill that at one point she even wrote about dying, saying: "I'd love a white coffin with pink flowers."
