'I'm albino but I wear fake tan because I've been bullied and spat at'

A young woman has opened up about the abuse she has endured for being albino. Billie-Jo Randall said she had been spat at while at college and physically attacked in public.

It has led her to take to wearing fake tan and toning her hair. Despite this, Billie-Jo said she loved her condition.

Albinism affects the production of melanin, the pigment that colours skin hair and eyes. It’s a lifelong condition, but it doesn't get worse over time.
