Mary Earps is speaking for the first time since extracts of her book were released over the first weekend of November before the full autobiography comes out on the 6th. Emma Sanders sat down with Mary and spoke about the immediate reaction and how she's felt since those extracts were published. Mary opens up about her relationship with Sarina Wiegman after announcing her retirement before the Euros and opens up about life off the pitch, being in a same sex relationship and the process of freezing her eggs, which she has not discussed publicly before.If you've been affected by the issues in this podcast, you can visit https://www.bbc.co.uk/actionline for help and support.Timecodes: 03:30 Early experiences of bullying 09:30 Having panic attacks 13:05 Struggles with body image and eating habits 18:40 Time in Wolfsburg 26:00 Wages in WSL 28:40 Her relationship & sexuality 32:30 Recent reaction to the books extracts 36:30 Relationship with Sarina Wiegman 50:10 Change in the women’s game & fame 54:15 Freezing her eggs 57:30 Manchester United
