‘I was bullied at school for being so tall but now I’m a model who appeared naked on TV’

Teenage years can be tough for most young people who just want to fit in with the crowd. Hannah Lewis, who is from the Rhondda Valley, was badly bullied for her height but has gone on to use her tough experience to help others with their body image.

Hannah, who is now 6ft, has always struggled with her body image after always being labelled "the tall one" and getting bullied for her appearance. Now Hannah is a model, promoting body diversity, and has this week appeared on the Channel 4 show Naked Education, where she posed in an empowering naked photo shoot.

Talking about the bullying and her teenage years, Hannah told WalesOnline: “I have always had body issues, I’ve always been the tall one. I grew up in school being the tall one. I had a lot of negative comments. I wasn’t able to dress like my friends when they were dressing in trendy clothes I was different in every way because the world didn’t accommodate for me and it was difficult.”
