A British teenager with albinism is following her dreams of becoming a model, despite being called an 'inside out Oreo'.

Kimberley, 15, from Derby, was born with Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1 – affecting the colouring of her skin, hair and eyes.

Kim told Barcroft TV: "I think it's important for everyone to accept themselves – I want albinism to be portrayed in a good light through the media."

See her story in the video above.
