Jamil says she suffered eating disorders herself as a teen, so she knows how damaging false beauty standards can be.

“Filters and digital editing have almost certainly contributed to the fact so many of the women I know have turned to needles, knives and extreme diets to try to match their online avatar,” she says.

“When photo editors try to lighten my skin and change my ethnicity, it’s bad for the girls who are looking at the picture. But it’s also bad for my mental health.

“It makes me dislike what I’m seeing in the mirror. It’s a message from the editor to me that I am not good enough as I am.”

The former T4 presenter calls on women to “delete the apps and unfollow those who are complicit in this crime against our gender”.

“We need to see spots. We need to see wrinkles,” she writes. “We need to see cellulite and stretch marks. If not, we will become almost allergic to the sight of them, even though we all have these things on our own bodies.”

Airbrushing is a crime against women and should be banned, says Jameela Jamil
