The Canadian – who shot to fame after her stint on America’s Next Top Model – has a skin condition called vitiligo, which causes patches of skin to lose their pigment, and according to the British Skin Foundation “affects about 1% of the population”.

In an interview with Elle Canada last year Winnie – her real name is Chantelle Winnie – spoke of growing tired of constantly having to talk about her skin condition.

“I’m very sick of talking about my skin […] I am literally just a human. I have the same brain as you; there’s a skeleton under my skin just like yours. It’s not that serious.”
