Robbie Williams has revealed he has been diagnosed with scurvy, calling it a “17th-century pirate disease”.
The former Take That singer told The Mirror he was diagnosed with the condition after taking an appetite suppressant, adding that “I’d stopped eating and I wasn’t getting nutrients”.
The NHS says scurvy is “caused by not having enough vitamin C in your diet over a long period of time”, with symptoms ranging from feeling very tired, weak, or irritable, to easily-bruised skin or joint, leg, or muscle pain. Though the condition is rare, the NHS says it’s easy to treat.
