Voice over script for Documentary

Katie Price has had numerous surgical procedures, these include 5 boob jobs, liposuction and veneers. Surgery can be the answer to many peoples confidence problems most common procedures include Breast, eyes and nose. Influenced by many celebrities in the public eye. Through research we found out that Katie Price uses sun beds on a daily basis and has bald patches from gluing in her hair extensions.

Is it celebrities like this that have changed the way the public perceived themselves? Its not just celebrities that thrive to get this glamorous look.

Sunbeds are estimated to cause 100 deaths from melanoma every year in the UK. Sunbeds also cause premature skin ageing which means your skin becomes cause, leathery and wrinkled at a younger age. When the tan fades, the damage remains. Using sun beds for the first time before the age of 35 increases the risk of developing melanoma skin cancer by 75%.

People who are most at risk are younger people, people who have a lot of moles, people with fare skin, people who burn easily, people who have had skin cancer in the past, people with a family history of skin cancer.

People who use sun beds under age increase their risk of malignancy by 55% in the UK. Almost 9000 cases of meligmaloma are diagnosed each year, and more than 1000 people die from the disease each year.
