Olivia Bowen, a model who became famous for her participation in the reality show "Love Island", has been suffering from severe psoriasis since the age of 17.
According to the Daily Mail online edition, the 27-year-old blonde beauty said that due to a chronic illness, her stomach is periodically covered with red itchy spots that itch and hurt. “In moments like this, I feel terribly insecure. But I try not to despair, and every time I pull myself together and remind myself that there are things much worse than just spots on the body. It's just leather. Much more important is what kind of person I am,”she wrote in a burst of candor on the social network Instagram.

Loyal fans, in turn, stood up for their favorite: “I also have psoriasis, and I’m glad that this is not a sentence and that famous people are trying to remove the stigma from this disease”, “Say anything about her, but she at least shows herself and something that many people suffer from”,“She does the right thing, which shows that celebrities are people too,”“She just shows how anyone can love themselves”.
