Model Winnie Harlow says she feels “accepted” in London after leaving her native Toronto to make the capital her home.
The 22-year-old, pictured, rose to fame as a contestant on America’s Next Top Model.
She has vitiligo and was bullied about her condition as a child and teenager in Canada, where she grew up with her two sisters.
She said: “I live in London now, I’ve been living here for almost a year. I’m so happy that London has accepted me.
