Little Mix are telling cancer where to go

Little Mix, Caroline Flack and Sophie Ellis-Bextor have told cancer exactly what they think of it, by posing for these incredible pictures.

The photographs, shot by renowned celebrity photographer Jason Bell, show the girls with powerful messages painted onto different parts of their bodies.

They have been taken to encourage women to sign up to Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life this summer.

Caroline Flack said: “Sadly cancer is something that unites everyone, so we all need to join in the fight against cancer and come together to tell it where to go. Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life gives all women, regardless of who they are and where they are from, the opportunity to look cancer in the face and say ‘watch out!’. All you ladies out there please get your family and friends together this summer and sign up to an event to help make a real difference and show cancer that we mean business.”

The gutsy messages, including ‘Beat it cancer’, ‘Jog on cancer!’ and ‘In your face cancer’, really capture the fighting spirit of this year’s Race for Life event series, which is to show defiance to cancer and hit it where it hurts!

Little Mix said: “We are incredibly proud to be supporting Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and helping the charity to fight a disease that affects every single one of us in some way. Please join us and send a message to cancer, to tell it that that it’s going down! Everyone who runs, walks, watches or fundraises at Race for Life is so important in helping to beat cancer. So come on girls, what are you waiting for? Sign up now!”

Sophie Ellis-Bextor said: “Cancer has sadly touched my family, like so many others, and that is why I am so proud to be supporting Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life this year. I’d urge every woman out there to send a defiant message to cancer, by signing up to a Race for Life event now. If everyone gets involved by taking part and fundraising I believe that one day we will beat this awful disease that affects us all and we will win the battle.”
