‘I make fun of my insecurities’

After rising to fame on Ex on the Beach in 2016, TV favourite Charlotte Dawson became a victim of cruel body shaming.

But Charlotte decided to use her social media platforms to encourage fans to celebrate their figures and make light of their insecurities. She’s since attracted a huge fanbase for her refreshing body positivity and hilarious social media posts, where she’ll grab her ‘wobbly bits’ or play with her ‘double chin’.

During our nude photoshoot, Charlotte,

27, told Closer, “I think it’s healthier to take the p**s out of yourself. Making fun of my insecurities on my social media means people don’t – and can’t – troll me anymore. If someone says, ‘You’ve got a massive belly’, I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’ve already told YOU that!’

“Just being myself has actually done me a favour. And when I meet people now, they think I look better in real life than on screen, which is better than the other way around!”
