BEST DAY STRIP
Dua Lipa becomes unlikely poster girl for naturism after recommending nudist beach in Cornwall
Dua's endorsement could do wonders for those who like to strip off
DUA LIPA has unwittingly become the pin-up girl for British naturism – after innocently saying Cornwall’s Pedn Vounder beach was one of her favourite places.
But a quick Google search of the location reveals it is a hotspot for nudists.

And her endorsement could do wonders for those who like to strip off.
Andrew Welch, spokesman for representative body British Naturism, said: “Things have certainly improved with an unfreezing of attitudes and a more grown-up approach to the basic simple human body.
“We are experiencing a good increase in acceptance and also participation. But we have often said that there is still a perception that it’s on the fringes of society.
“If a good-looking, well-known, young female says, ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever done’, I could hang up my boots because there’s credibility that goes along with it.”

Dua listed the beach among her favourites on her Service95 newsletter and said Pedn Vounder was “one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen”.
I’m not sure whether Dua decided to strip off to her birthday suit when she last visited.
But given she is one of the most recognisable stars on the planet, I think going nude could have been a pretty good disguise.
No one would think it was actually Dua.

ANYA TAYLOR-JOY has revealed her dream Disney role would be as Elsa in a live action adaptation of Frozen.
She told Vogue Hong Kong: “It would be very fun to shoot ice out of your hand. Also, you’d just be the favourite at every kid’s birthday party.
“All of my siblings have children now, so I would love for them to be able to say, ‘My aunty is Elsa’.”
Disney has developed live action remakes of lots of its other films, so her dream could soon become a reality.

I told yesterday how the band were also fighting Sabrina Carpenter for the No1 single with their hit Live Forever.
Her album Short N’ Sweet topped the charts last week but was at No4 last night, just behind Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' Wild God.
