This week the team talk about concerns for the health of YouTube star Eugenia Cooney, who is severely underweight. Eve, who was hospitalised with anorexia in her 20s, asked the social media giants why they weren't stepping in to take the Eugenia off air, in a bid to force her into treatment - and was given some surprising answers. And we hear from eating disorders specialist dietitian Renee McGregor, who explains how simply watching her videos could trigger worsening symptoms in vulnerable people with eating disorders.
