DROPPING her fur coat on to the red carpet to reveal a completely sheer mesh dress, Bianca Censori's flesh-flashing display sparked a global backlash. The showstopping moment at the Grammy Awards has led to fierce debate, with some hailing Kanye West's wife as a feminist icon while others insist she should have shown more modesty. And Bianca's shocking stunt seems the pinnacle of a recent trend in 'naked' dresses, embraced by the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Megan Fox and Rita Ora.

Someone who knows all too well how it feels to disrobe in front of strangers is 42-year-old Estelle Keeber, who regularly gets her kit off - and claims it sets a bold example to her kids. The single mum and nudism campaigner from Leicester firmly believes that everyone should strip off in public as often as possible, no matter how old and wobbly their bits might be. But, while Estelle applauds women for embracing nudity, she shares the concern of many about Bianca's explicit publicity stunt.

She explains: “Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s latest stunt is being framed as art, but let’s be real - it’s just another example of nudity being used for shock value. "As someone who openly shares my journey with nudism and body positivity, I’m all for free choice. "People should be able to wear - or not wear - whatever they want without judgement. "But when nudity is turned into a spectacle, it damages the real message behind body confidence and self-acceptance.".

Since discovering nudism almost three years ago, Estelle has visited dozens more specialist beaches and spas. She feels a liberating high every time she gets fully naked in public. "The feeling of freedom and connection with nature that I got the first time has been one I've been chasing since that day," she said. "The feeling of having no clothes on is liberating - being naked and feeling powerful, brave and confident in yourself that you've been able to get to that point to take your clothes off.".

Returning from her first nudist holiday, Estelle proudly displayed her snaps on her office wall. But her mortified teenage sons begged her to cover them up. She said: "Nobody has tried to talk me out of it although my boys were mortified when those nude photos were on display in my office, they shouted at me to cover them up.". While Estelle defends the rights of women to be naked, she was concerned about Bianca's nude stunt.

She adds: "What stood out the most to me was Bianca looked deeply uncomfortable. "I have never seen anyone at a nudist beach or spa look so uneasy. "Nudism and body confidence is about feeling free and comfortable—this was the complete opposite. "It was a display of control, not confidence and freedom. "Nude dresses are nothing new but the need to get attention in a very overcrowded social space has increased, pushing celebs to think they need to bare more to stay in the headlines.

“What happened at the Grammys was essentially indecent exposure yet, when a celebrity does it, it’s called ‘art’?. "This double standard sets a dangerous precedent, especially for young people navigating their own body confidence. "Nudity itself isn’t the problem—but how it’s framed and the impact it has absolutely is.”. Estelle was feeling far from her best the first time she took the plunge.

With her milestone 40th birthday looming, she was also nursing a broken heart having just split from her fiancé, and was grieving the loss of her grandmother. On a whim she booked a week in the buff at a nudist beach in Spain. She recruited best pal Sarah as her wingwoman and the pair shared an eye-opening experience, which transformed her life in ways she never imagined possible. “I’d always been intrigued by the idea of nudist beaches, letting everyone see you for what you are, no filters, all your wobbly bits and scars on show," she said.

Estelle had noticed nudists beaches on holidays in the past, but at the time she was with her sons Jed and Obi, then aged eight and six, so had to wait for another opportunity to arise. "Seeing those men and women so incredibly relaxed and happy resonated with me. "But I didn’t want to shock my boys, and I’m not sure I was quite ready to strip off then anyway. "That sowed a seed in my brain which grew and grew.".

As a professional social media expert, Estelle is sharply aware of the dangers of unreal body expectations. Now she promotes body confidence among young people in a bid to redress the onslaught of destructive online pressure through her company Immortal Monkey. And she regularly visits nudist beaches around Europe. Recalling her first time, she said: "In was in the run-up to my 40th I told my bestie my plan.
