A beautiful woman tried to commit suicide after claiming she felt too 'ugly' to show people her face.
Alanah Bagwell, 20, from Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire, admits that she takes 200 selfies a day until she can find one she is satisfied with, as she battles the crippling insecurity of her body dysmorphia.
Body dysmorphia is a form of distorted self-image that affects one in every 100 women in the UK.
Alanah has been plagued by the illness since she was a teenager and spends at least four hours a day applying make-up until she feels ready for the world to see her.
