A mum still showers in front of her 18-year-old daughter - to show her what a real body looks like.
Angela Karanja, 48, has been stripping off in front of Dee since she was a baby.
She sees no point in stopping now, even though Dee is an adult - as she wants to teach her about being comfortable in her own skin.
Psychologist Angela, from Banbury, Oxon., said she wants her daughter to know that bodies on social media aren't real.

We have baths, we have showers together.
00:02
There is nothing about being a real woman that she doesn't know.
00:07
Because I didn't grow up feeling confident about myself,
00:14
when I reflected and found the standards to which I was looking up to,
00:20
I made a very conscious decision that I'm going to start loving myself the way I am.
00:26
And this feeling of discomfort and body, almost, almost body dysmorphia to be honest,
00:34
has to stop with me because if I don't stop, I pass it on to my daughter.
00:40
I walk with nothing in this house.
00:43
We have showers together, we've had baths together ever since.
00:47
Even now, she's, Dee is 18, we often have baths when you have time, isn't it?
00:54
We have baths, we have showers together.
00:57
There is nothing about being a real woman that she doesn't know.
01:03
So when Dee grew up, she knew what was real and what was not.
01:10
That's why I believe you can confidently say, "That's photoshopped, that's photoshopped."
01:17
That's the thing with fashion and fads, it just keeps changing.
01:21
One day it's the big lips, the next day it's the slim ones,
01:25
the next day it's the big butt, the next day it's the small one.
01:29
You know, we are looking up to things that are not real so much.
01:33
We're almost fantasizing, romanticizing fakeness.
01:40
At some point in my life, I wasn't very comfortable in my own body.
01:44
But I like, slowly just sort of learned to love myself.
01:48
And I was just like, once you do learn to love yourself,
01:52
it's also easier to love everything else around you.
01:56
So, obviously in my generation and stuff, there's the social media standards
02:02
and the society standards and how, in a sense, you should look.
02:07
When you love your body, it also loves you back.
