The X Factor star admitted she was initially apprehensive about taking her clothes off, but concluded that it was worth it.

'I was nervous about posing nude'

‘I was nervous about posing nude as I've never done it before. It was uncomfortable initially, but the photographer made me feel relaxed and at ease.

Ultimately I love my body, so it was great to do something for such a worthwhile cause,’ the 25-year-old revealed.

The singer admitted to being horrified after finding out how fur is obtained in the fashion industry.

‘When I found out what happens to animals on fur farms my heart just sank.

'I have animals and the thought of someone hurting them so they can be turned into a coat makes me sick.

‘Not only is fur cruel, it’s also totally gross’

‘Anyone thinking about buying or wearing fur should watch PETA's videos of animals suffering on fur farms- after seeing them, I can't imagine anyone would want to be caught dead in fur’, the Hallelujah singer added.

‘Not only is fur cruel, it’s also totally gross,’ she continued. ‘I mean, who wants to wear the skin of an abused animal? Not me!’

‘I’m here to tell people that you can have a killer look without having to hurt animals.’

Other stars to feature in the campaign this year include 17-year-old singer Dionne Bromfield.
