Valeria has battled the illness since her early twenties and says she is desperate to get better and warn others of the dangers of anorexia.
She told the Sun: "I have received emails from young girls who want me to teach them how to be like me.
"All the letters I’ve had are from women, mainly in their twenties, who see me as some kind of inspiration."
Valeria, who is originally from Russia but now lives in Monaco, hopes to recover to fulfil her dream of becoming a mother.
