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.
