“I’m not a size zero and that’s perfectly fine with me.
“One thing I can promise all of you is that I never Photoshop my photos and am proud to officially never had any plastic surgery of any kind.
“No Botox, no fillers, no mini surgeries. Literally nothing.
“I am 100 per cent natural and 100 per cent Lindsey.
