Celebrities show support for Cervical Cancer Awareness Week
Famous faces: Supermodel Cara Delevigne pictured with smeared makeup in support of the cause
The event runs from Monday 21 to Sunday 28 January.
It was started by Jo’s Trust, the only UK charity dedicated to women affected by cervical cancer and cervical abnormalities.
Two women lose their lives to the disease every day and nine women are diagnosed every day.
It is the most common cancer in women aged 35 and under.
The charity have started the social media campaign #SmearForSmear, where women are encouraged to post a selfie with smeared lipstick.
Supermodel Cara Delevingne, Game of Thrones actress Nathalie Emmanauel and Loose Women panellists Nadia Sawalha and Kaye Adams have all previously supported the campaign.
Smear tests prevent in 75% of cervical cancers from developing but still ONE in FOUR women do not go to their appointments.
