Florence Pugh has opened up about hitting breaking point during a difficult time in her life, revealing that her body began to ‘scream’ at her to slow down.

Speaking to Louis Theroux on The Louis Theroux Podcast, the 28-year-old reflected on a past relationship that left her emotionally and physically exhausted.

Pugh, who has often spoken candidly about the pressure of public scrutiny, admitted she only realised how bad things had got once her body began to react.

‘Because I had a breakdown,’ she told Louis. ‘When you are hurting your body, you know when you are not sleeping or you’re drinking too much or you’ve got the sh**s because you’re so anxious – that’s your body screaming at you.’

The actress went on to describe how she started physically injuring herself without realising it.
