Britain’s smallest glamour model insists ‘I’m taking the power back’ after being ‘Sєxualised’ by men for posting body positive pics in ʙικιɴιs and lingerie

Britain’s smallest glamour model has insisted that she’s taking her power back after being ‘Sєxualised’ by men for posting body positive pictures in ʙικιɴιs and lingerie.  

Caitlin Hellyer, 23, appeared on ITV’s This Morning on Tuesday to talk to Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shephard, 50, about breaking beauty standards.  

The model, who has dwarfism, started off by sharing her outfits of the day on Instagram – and was getting Sєxualised by men, so her partner suggested that she should make money from it on OnlyFans. 

Speaking to Ben and Cat about posing for more racy pictures, Caitlin said: ‘I was quite nervous to begin with because of the connotations that come with the site.

‘Though anybody can put any content on there from trains, to makeup, to what I do.

‘I held back and once I did it, it was the best things I’ve ever done.’

An intrigued Cat asked ‘Why?’ to which Caitlin replied: ‘I’m taking that power back as a woman in today’s age. 

‘I’m creating positivity for people with my body. 

‘My body is not often seen on magazines, in the media, especially in swimwear or lingerie, let alone everywhere else.

‘This is what people with Dwarfism need to see too.’

Ben pointed out that Cait, who is 3ft8, is now getting regular money from people who want to see her content. 

Cait explained: ‘I was a broke student at the time that I started, so to be able to make my own money, its not easy for me to stack supermarket shelves, so to work from home and have those hours where we can work three hours a day… 

‘We can have any job to a certain extent.

‘But I like the time freedom I have. I can work three hours a day, go walk the dog, buy some clothes, go on adventures with Guy [her partner].

‘We went to Scotland for four weeks because I can work from my phone so easily.’ 

The model explained that her monthly income ‘varies’ but she can make thousands of pounds a month. 

Speaking about the impact that she has had in her community, Cait said: ‘It’s mᴀssively important.

‘Especially for representation, especially growing up. I didn’t see that. 

‘When I got into my later teens when I wanted to start shopping for lingerie, I didn’t see my body on those posters.

‘It’s nice to give girls confidence, late teenage girls to see that. To feel normalised.’

Cait boasts an incredible 27.4k followers on her Instagram page. 

The star shared a snap of her from the studio on her page. 

Cait asked fans: ‘Did you see me on @thismorning @itv #thismorning.’

Many rushed to share their support in the comments section.

One said: ‘Just watched it on YT, well done. The world could do with more positive people, I hope the rest of the day goes well for you. Take care.’

 Another added: ‘Awesome!’

‘Yes. Good on you,’ a third chimed in.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV, ITVX, STV and STV Player.
