Saskia has just been offered a job with the NHS Greater Manchester, where she will train for six years in psychiatry, which is what she is specialising in. Since then she has worked in psychiatry, ENT (ear, nose and throat) and A&E departments. Saskia, who is single and lives with her family, graduated from the University of Bradford in 2019 and took up junior doctor roles in Grimsby then Bradford. “It has also resulted in a real boost of confidence, which is why I’m so excited about Miss England.” She said: “I feel really good, definitely much better than before. Saskia’s changed lifestyle has resulted in her weight plummeting from 14st all the way down to just above 10st. I avoid fried food and limit takeaways to one a week, whereas before it was much more than that.” “Before I used to eat whatever I wanted, I like sweets and chocolate so I was eating a lot of that and I love flapjacks, I used to eat one of those a day. She said: “I was always happy with how I looked but when I found at my health was at risk I decided to make a change. However, Saskia’s fortunes began to turn in November last year when she embarked on a weight loss journey after finding out she had high bloody sugar levels.
