BRIT model Iskra Lawrence has shared a bikini snap on Instagram - and called for the end of the "sexualisation of nipples".

Iskra, 27, who models for US brand Aerie - part of American Eagle - posed in a white tee-shirt and black Aerie bikini briefs on the social media site.

Her nipples were clearly visible under her white tee - but she urged people not to make a big deal of it.

She wrote: "Last week in Miami by @denizalaca. We all got nipples so let’s not make a big deal about it."

She then hashtagged her photograph #letsnotoversexualizenipples and #mybodymychoice.

Iskra, from Worcestershire, was met with praise for her post which has been liked nearly 500,000 times.

dr.dilip_tiwari said: "You are right..and not to make an issue its almost visible for everyone after getting wet."

Another fan told Iskra she goes braless virtually everyday.

She explained: "Everyone has them so I don't know why they have to be so taboo."

She continued: "Look or don't. I don't care. I'm just going to do what makes me feel good, and a bra certainly does NOT feel good."

Body positivity campaigner Iskra is the latest in a long line of celebrities to throw their weight behind the Free the Nipple campaign, a global movement group that hopes to encourage equality, empowerment and freedom of all human beings.

The organisation also works to raise awareness and spark change on a number of social issues and injustices.

The Free The Nipple movement was inspired by a 2012 film of the same name, which followed Lina Esco and a group of women attempting to shed light on the issue of nipple censorship.

Campaigners’ mission is for all human beings to be treated as equals.

The official website reads: “We are a global movement of equality, empowerment and freedom.

“We are a movement of change.”

Dozens of famous faces have spoken out (or bared all) in support of the popular campaign.

Miley Cyrus has been one of the most vocal celebs, and even flashed her boobs in a memorable holiday snap.

She told Jimmy Kimmel on his show: "The nipple, what you can't show, is what everyone has. But the jug part that everybody doesn't, you're allowed to show underboob. I've never understood the way it works."
