If you were as much of a Love Island super fan as we were here at heat towers, then you’ll know all too well about how much runner up and mega babe Camilla Thurlow struggled with her confidence.
She took Jonny Mitchell’s rejection preeeetty hard, and struggled to understand why the super-fit Calvin Klein model Jamie Jewitt was interested in her.
(We’ve all been there, hun… oh wait, no... a Calvin Klein model has literally never fancied us.)
But it was Queen Cam’s relatable AF insecurities that made her the nation’s sweetheart, and now she’s taken to Instagram to get super real about her struggles.
Under a picture of herself on one of her humanitarian missions, she wrote: ‘On a daily basis I am a victim of my own lack of belief in my worthiness. Even now I don’t feel I should be writing this, but I know how much of a difference it would have made to hear it myself.
‘Sometimes your insecurities will lead you to accept other people’s expectations of your capabilities. It is easy to let the beliefs of others define you, but you can also turn not knowing your limitations into a strength.’
Continuing her words of wisdom, she added: ‘There is no category or box you need to fit into, and when we free ourselves of false barriers we can make our way along our own path discovering what we are truly capable of.
‘Whatever it is that drives you, centre yourself around that passion because every thing you do in service of it will make you a little stronger, a little bolder and a lot more YOU, and that’s exactly what we need – because YOU are great…’
What. A. Babe.
Camilla’s fans were quick to praise her for her openness and the positive message she was spreading.
One Insta user replied saying: “These words have made a difference…”
While another added: “Thank you for writing that. It's just what I needed to hear. You are an inspirational woman and you are helping a lot of people without even realising it.”
We couldn’t agree more. Congrats to Cam for using her fame to make such a positive difference!
