Vicky's natural picture

Children as young as 10 are being shown pictures of an airbrushed Britney Spears in a bikini to teach them how images are altered in the media.

Before and after pictures of the singer feature in new body image lessons, which are designed to improve confidence.

She’s been turned from a 5ft5” size 12 into a 6ft size 0 version of herself.
