The celebs who are celebrating wearing whatever they like this summer
We’re hoping for aHot Girl Summer, and by that we mean sunshine and fun with family and friends. What we don’t need is the stress and worry that our body isn’t “good enough” to wear abikini, or anything else we fancy chucking on to enjoy the hot weather.
Newsflash: you don’t have to look like the cast of Love Island to rock swimwear –bikinis for everyone this summer. To celebrate, we’re counting down our favourite celebs who are waging war on the body shamers and embracing the fact not all bodies look the same and we can wear whatever we want!
DAVINA MCCALL, 56
Whether she’s working out on holiday or even cooking dinner for her family, if there is one thing Davina is going to be wearing, it’s a bikini.

Having grown up on screen, Selena is here to remind us that it’s totally OK for our bodies to change over time. “Today, I realised I will never look like I did at 21 again… I’m not pe
