If Hungry gets greenlit by NBC, this will mark the former child star's first regular TV role since she starred in the 2009 Disney Channel series, Sonny With a Chance. Lovato has been open about struggling with an eating disorder a number of times in the past. Back in 2011, the multi-talent told ABC News that she remembers compulsively overeating at the age of 8-years-old. "So, I guess, for the past 10 years I've had a really unhealthy relationship with food," she admitted, before confessing that she was bullied by her classmates, which led to her bulimia. "I was performing concerts on an empty stomach. I was losing my voice from purging."
