Sam Smith has opened up about getting liposuction at just 13 years old.

Speaking on ‘You’ actor Penn Badgley’s ‘Podcrushed’ podcast, the singer said: “I had surgery on my chest when I was 13 years old, because I had a growing chest. There were all sorts of reasons why, but mainly, I was just getting so teased, I couldn't go swimming in school, and I couldn't – like, getting changed in the locker room was hell. So I got liposuction when I was 13 years old.”

Smith has previously been open about their journey with body image and gender identity.

The actor and singer also posted a video of themselves harmonising to Smith’s’ track Stay With Me’ on social media as part of promotion for the podcast episode.
