What did you do first thing this morning? Well if you're anything like us, you logged straight onto Netflix and began binge-watching their latest series Apple Cider Vinegar. The six-part series is inspired by the life of Belle Gibson, an Australian wellness influencer who gained a mass following, and worldwide success with the launch of her healthy eating app and recipe book, as she claimed her alternative diet had helped her with her cancer. Except, she'd never actually had cancer in the first place.
The series follows Belle, Milla, a woman who actually has cancer and is also promoting a healthy lifestyle to beat the illness, and Chanelle, Milla's best friend determined to show just who Belle really is. But they're not the only ones, here's everyone who is in the cast and a quick guide as to who they play:

- Kaitlyn Dever as Belle Gibson - the series main character who builds up a mass following after claiming to have cured her brain cancer from healthy eating.
- Alycia Debnam-Carey as Milla Blake - she's a young woman who gets diagnosed with cancer and tries to cure it with alternative therapies rather than traditional methods, and builds up a following because of this.
