Shoppers praise M&S for using 'normal' model with stomach rolls and stretch marks

Iconic British high street retailer Marks and Spencer has been praised for their choice of model in their social media post.

Shoppers commented on the Instagram post and were happy to see the brand use a 'normal' woman who had visible stomach rolls and stretch marks as she posed in lingerie.

On the run up to Valentine's Day, M&S were promoting their underwear sets and posted an image of mid-size model Megan Carole, an actress and influencer.

Megan regularly shows off her outfits on her main Instagram page along with some body positivity posts.

In a collaboration with M&S, she posted a picture wearing the £28 Silk and Lace Underwire Minimiser Bra.

The retailer shared it and captioned it: "To me, from me. Self-love is the best type of love this Valentine’s Day."

As Manchester Evening News reported, Megan describes herself as "a big smiler & lots of body loving", and has almost 100,000 Instagram followers.

The image of Megan in M&S lingerie quickly caught the attention of shoppers, and compliments came flooding in.
