‘It’s taboo to say I don’t have any friends’
Gluten-free cook and author Becky Excell says she’s not had a friend since 2009.
Speaking to 5 Live’s Naga Munchetty, Becky said she had a huge response after opening up on her Instagram about her lack of a friendship group.
She said it’s a “taboo subject to say I don’t have any friends”, but that after hearing how many other people are in a similar situation it’s “not as strange as you may think”.
Becky says she would like some friends, but that she is happy and fulfilled having her partner as her “best mate” and focussing on her career and new cookbook.
