Casualry legend Amanda Mealing has been forced to take to Twitter to defend herself against claims that she is suffering from an eating disorder.
Fans had tweeted the popular star, who plays Connie Beaichamp in the medical drama, and the actress was saddened to be forced to respond a denial to eating disorder claim.
She wrote: Luckily for some of you & your insensitivity I am not struggling with an eating disorder. I am in extreme & constant back pain and have been for nearly a year.
Standing for 11 hrs a day takes its toll. End of.
Im forced to address something Id hoped not to. My weight. Luckily for some of you & your insensitivity I am not struggling with an eating disorder. I am in extreme & constant back pain and have been for nearly a year. Standing for 11 hrs a day takes its toll. End of.

Amanda works tirelessly on Connies high octane storylines but some have tried to delve deeper into her appearance, something which she has now shut down.
Former co-star Bradley supported her with a tweet saying: Dearest Amanda Im really sorry to hear that but not surprised. I hobbled about for a year and a half after Holby. It does take a toll. Love you x.
