Thu, 18 Jun 2020 08:55:46 GMT

Retouching images to promote impossible beauty standards has done damage to women and girls' self image that we can't really quantify yet.

Championing natural bodies and self love are now top of her agenda... as well as online DJing during lockdown and finding a rare middle ground with national provocateur Piers Morgan. Just a couple of subjects in a wide ranging chat recorded just after lockdown started. Join us!
