EMMERDALE's Priya Sharma struggles to keep a brave face as her eating disorder impairs her healing.

The wedding planner, played by Fiona Wade in the ITV soap, is still recovering from third degree burns.

Priya was left heavily burned after being trapped in the maze fire.

Although she survived, she has had to undergo several painful skin grafts as a result of her injuries and has struggled to cope ever since.

While the first attempt at a skin graft failed, a second more successful operation left her in agony.

Priya was recently left embarrassed during her mother Rishi's (Baskher Patel) pre-Christmas get together, when confronted to a glamorous-looking Leyla Cavanagh (Roxy Shahidi).
