Model Charli Howard hit 'breaking point' over weight loss demand

A model from Peckham, who is smaller than a size eight, says she reached "breaking point" after an unnamed modelling agency put her under pressure to lose weight before dropping her from its books.

Charli Howard wrote an open letter about her experience which attracted messages of support from around the world for "not meeting ridiculous beauty standards".

BBC London reporter Asad Ahmad spoke to the 23-year-old about her letter and the reaction she has received.
