Rio Olympics 2016: Laura Trott reveals she once was hospitalised after eating too much chocolate
has revealed she once was hospitalised after eating too much chocolate at Christmas.
The double-gold winning cyclist, who became Britain's most successful female Olympian win a grand total of four golds over two games, said she cannot help her sweet addiction.
But it once got dangerous one Christmas when she was about ten years old. She told Gethin Jones on Facebook Live: "Once I nailed a whole bag of Christmas tree chocolate and the cocoa percentage was just stupid in it.
"I was lying there with all the lights off, I was seeing stars and everything went cross-eyed.
"I was really young at the time aged ten - they took me to hospital thinking I was seriously ill but turns out I just had a migraine from chocolate.
"I just like plain milk chocolate, but the stuff in Rio here has been pretty dodgy."
