And it's occured to a woman in Russia.

The woman who only have weighs the same amount as a four-year-old,  Kristina Karyagina, from Barnaul in south-central Russia, weighs just 2st 7lb (17kg) after stopping eating properly during her time at high school. 

And she has been told by a doctor that she could get a part in a horror movie.The 26-year-old has now been warned by specialist Dr Yan Goland that she living as a corpse due to her emaciated condition.

The doctor is treating Ms Karyagina for free, after reality TV star Maria Kokhno who also a  former anorexic, used her 520,000 Instagram fan base to launch a campaign on her behalf.  Ms Kokhno’s campaign helped to raise 110,000 RUB (£1,220) for Ms Karyagina and her mother to fly to Nizhny Novgorod, western Russia, for the specialised treatment.

Ms Kokhno who starred in Doma-2, had previously undergone treatment by Dr Goland herself. 

"I know what it is like when someone puts a meal in front of you and you cannot eat it. Even when you are aware that you are dying, you still cannot eat.’’ the Instagram star said. 

In past, Ms Karyagina stopped eating properly during her time at high school, where she lived off tiny chunks of banana and apple. She went on to graduate from law school, but her illness escalated and she lost the ability to go outside of her apartment.

In a video upload of the milestone, Ms Karyagina can be seen afterwards taking a leisurely stroll with Ms Kokhno holding hands. 

"Today, Kristina ate for the first time since last year," Ms Kokhno tells the camera.

Anorexia is the illness that can kill people who weigh around 40lb (18kg) to 56lb (25kg) by causing serious organ damage.
