PINK has delivered a showstopping speech about body image at MTV Video Music Awards.

The What About Us singer made the stirring statement while accepting her Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award from Ellen DeGeneres.

Speaking on stage, Pink said her 6‑year‑old daughter Willow had recently told her, that she has been teased as the ugliest girl in the world.

Pink told the crowd at The Forum in Los Angeles that she told her 6-year-old that she is beautiful and not to change and that we need to help other people to change so that they can see more kinds of beauty.
