Singer Sam Smith has stripped down to his birthday suit in plea to his fans to embrace their body image and celebrate their "beautiful human" bodies.
The chart-topping singer has had struggles with body image and last month revealed he underwent liposuction surgery at the age of 12 after being targeted by bullies.
Now 26-year-old Sam shared a topless selfie with his 12 million Instagram followers on Wednesday and said he spent the day naked to "celebrate this bod".
He wrote: "For my entire life I have always hated being naked. Today I decided to have a naked day and spend the day in my room and watch TV and read and eat what I want and just celebrate this bod.

"It has been so empowering and wonderful and f***ing FUN. I think everyone should have a naked day once in a while and celebrate that beautiful human body of yours.
"LET IT ALL HANG OUT PEOPLE." He added a heart, peach and aubergine emoji.
Smith, known for hits including Lay Me Down, Stay With Me and I'm Not The Only One, was praised by fans in the comments section.

Sam had earlier told actress Jameela Jamil, who launched the I Weigh body positivity movement, he had struggled with his body "his whole life".
Sam said: "When I was a kid, five or six, I was chubby and then it would get worse and worse and worse and I was holding a lot of weight in my chest.
"And then when I hit 11 years old I went to the doctors.
"I was so self-conscious that it was affecting my mood every day and my life as a teenager."
