Fara, 39, played as a central midfielder for the England national team from 2001 to 2019, competing in four European Championships and three World Cups, where she scored against Germany securing the team's third-place title in 2015.
The footie star also competed at the 2012 London Olympics for Team GB and played for the likes of Everton, Arsenal and Reading until her retirement in 2021.

"But I also felt like I needed to look skinnier or look lighter in order to be accepted outside of that and to fit in the right bracket in terms of food, but it didn't work for me in terms of performance levels.
