EXCLUSIVE: Dancing On Ice star Miles Nazaire reveals muscle dysmorphia ... trends now
Made In Chelsea star Miles Nazaire's muscle dysmorphia diagnosis sparked 3am Christmas Day gym sessions and ruined his sex life.
The reality favourite, 27, who will be competing in the new series of Dancing On Ice, has filmed an E4 documentary called Obsessed With My Muscles in which he lays bare the condition.
And speaking to MailOnline, Miles admitted he 'got stuck in a perfection trap I couldn't get out of' as he grew obsessed with attaining the ideal body and despite bulking up, his confidence deteriorated in the bedroom.
The Chelsea lothario, who's dated a string of his co-stars, confessed that he had 'no interest' in having sex for three months and would even panic before agreeing to go on dates over the prospect of showing his naked body.
He explained that the obsessive condition worsened to such an extent that he would take Tupperware of his own food to restaurants and weigh everything he ate while adhering to his strict diet.

Miles has admitted he 'got stuck in a perfection trap I couldn't get out of' as he grew obsessed with attaining the ideal body and despite bulking up, his confidence deteriorated
He said: 'I didn't have sex for three months, no interest.
'It takes away a lot of things when you restrict yourself so much because you're exhausted all the time.
'I think a lot of people would say, "Don't be silly, you must be the most competent guy in bed," but it got to a stage where I would have to pull the covers up, or do it in pitch black, or I would glance at myself in the mirror and be thinking, "I don't look good being intimate with someone," and that was really on my mind before a date. Being in a relationship, I was so focused on the aesthetic.'
Miles says his obsession with his muscles got so bad he failed to recognise hitting the gym in the early hours on Christmas Day was 'weird', as well as taking Tupperware boxes of his own food to restaurants to ensure he was eating the exact amount of carbohydrates and protein in line with his strict diet.
And friends who didn't understand his dedication, he simply cut out of his life.
He explained: 'So, Christmas Day I went to the gym at 3am because I needed to get a training session in.
'I couldn't live without the gym, and it's funny, because I don't remember that being weird.
'I was like, "Okay, I go to the gym, it's fine. It's Christmas, we've done Christmas now, I'll go to the gym now."
