Whether they’re lighting up TV screens or being papped on the red carpet, most celebrities seem to ooze confidence from every pore.
But when it comes to their bodies, most stars are just as insecure as the rest of us – if not more so. Whether they’re feeling self-conscious about those unwanted lumps and bumps or stressing out about a secret skin condition, some stars are plagued by insecurities and they are often too terrified to talk about it.
Even super-fit celebs can come under fire for the way they look. Last week, Davina McCall and Nicole Kidman were slammed for showing off their “impressive six-packs” and “sculpted biceps” – so it appears no one is safe.
Of course, battling body confidence issues is difficult enough when you’re not in the public eye. But when you’re in the spotlight, the effects on your mental health can be devastating.
TOWIE star Demi Sims, 26, recently opened up to new about her skin condition vitiligo, talking about how it had hit her confidence over the years but she had finally learned to embrace it and love the way she looks.
Other stars who have had struggles include Josie Gibson. Despite telling us this week that she now “loves” her curves, the This Morning star was once body-shamed for gaining weight.
TOWIE star Jess Wright was riddled with insecurities after a psoriasis flare-up post-pregnancy. And Made In Chelsea star Ashley James spent years feeling pressure “to be perfect” and was made to feel ashamed of her breasts, while Gogglebox’s Amy Tapper struggled with her weight.
Thankfully, all four have turned a confidence corner and now feel comfortable in their own skin.
