British pop group Little Mix have sent a powerful message out to fans: love yourself.

The four band members — Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock — posed naked with words scrawled on their skin. Words like: slutty, ugly, fat, talentless, odd-looking, flabby, tart, and gobby.

The image has been shared to promote the forthcoming single Strip — the video for which features body positivity activists like Bryony Gordon, Nimco Ali, and Hannah Witton.

The image appears to have resonated with fans, who took to social media to share their insecurities as well as the things they love about themselves.

We could all do with loving ourselves a little more.
