I’m ‘Britain’s smallest glamour model’ who’s mistaken for my man’s KID – Victoria’s Secret should be using women like me

''BRITAIN'S smaller glamour model'' has taken a swipe at lingerie giant Victoria's Secret for not featuring shorter women like herself. The iconic underwear brand is famed for its jaw-dropping catwalk shows, where world-famous models - known as Victoria's Secret Angels - walk down the runway sporting wings and sexy lingerie.

Stars of their shows include top models like mum-of-five Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, Gisele Bundchen, Alessandra Ambrosio, Bella Hadid and American TV personality Tyra Banks. All these stunning women share one trait on top of their gorgeous looks – they're all towering models.

However, Caitlin Hellyer, who dubs herself ''Britain's smallest glamour model'', reckons the industry needs to change. The 23-year-old, from Gloucestershire, is tired of seeing women like her being overlooked by the lingerie brand. The 3'8ft beauty argues there's ''no excuse'', especially when other brands, such as Lounge Underwear, have featured shorter models.

"I don't think Victoria's Secret has used shorter models. I know Lounge Underwear have in their campaigns, they've used two or three. I definitely think there's room for more diversification,'' the brunette stunner told Daily Star. "If brands like Lounge and Ann Summers can use shorter models, then Victoria's Secret can too.".
Caitlin, who also expressed interest in working with underwear brand Boux Avenue, thinks that featuring more diverse models in fashion campaigns would help boost women's body image. "It would be so much better if women are able to see more ladies they can relate to," she said.
