A YOUNG woman has revealed that she is a sunbed addict and uses them every day to get her golden glow.
The young mother, Ellie Jones, who was on the new series of Teen Mum UK: The Next Generation, explained that her family say she’s getting ‘too dark’ and trolls often warn her of the dangers of using sunbeds regularly.
Despite the risks involved with using sunbeds, the brunette beauty fan recently took to social media to share her tanning routine.
Posting on TikTok under the username @ellieeejonessx, Ellie shared a clip of her during a sunbed session.
Ellie shared her clip with the hashtag #sunbedaddiction and said: “When my family say you’re getting too dark but I still do sunbeds everyday” alongside a laughing face emoji.
In the clip, we saw Ellie lying down in a sunbed, as she mimed along to an audio that sang: “They mistook my kindness for weakness, I f**** up, I know that, but, Jesus.”

Social media users were eager to warn Ellie of the dangers of such tanning practices.
One person said: “A big risk of skin cancer.”
Another added: “These are banned in Aus and for good reason. There are 30 year olds dying of skin cancer.”
A third commented: “Don’t come crying to me darling!!!!”
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), sunbeds are as dangerous as smoking.
Like the sun, they give out harmful UV rays that damage the DNA in your skin cells.
Over time, this may lead to malignant melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer – studies have shown.
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), there is significant evidence to show that using tanning beds causes melanoma.
They report that sunbeds increase the risk of skin cancer by up to 20 per cent, and also state that they have no positive benefits to our health.
Cancer Research backed this statistic, adding that " there is no such thing as a safe tan from UV radiation".
When it comes to nasal sprays, some nasal spray sellers insist their products are safe – but the British Association of Dermatologists' Dr Catherine Borysiewicz says the only safe tan is fake tan.
She said: These products have not been studied properly, you don’t know what you are using, that’s the bottom line.
"These products are very, very dangerous. They can potentially lead to cancer.
"I talk about the skin risks, but who knows what else it might be doing. It’s incredibly worrying.
"If you’re using Melanotan, stop. Don’t use it any more and really importantly make sure your skin is assessed and checked.
