Blonsky: 'I'm confident in swimsuit'

Nikki Blonksy has revealed that she doesn't mind being filmed in her swimsuit for her new series Huge.

The show will focus on a group of overweight teenagers at a weight loss camp.

The actress told People that she doesn't care what anyone thinks about her body and feels proud of who she is.

"I'm just comfortable and confident in my body," she explained.

"I could care less that the world is seeing me in a bathing suit right now. I think they finally know what I look like in a bathing suit, if they were wondering."

She added that she admires her character Willhelmina for standing up against those who bully her about her size.

"She's awesome, she's totally against the grain. She doesn't want to lose weight. She thinks fitness camp is stupid and that's why I love her, because she doesn't want to do anything that the camp wants her to do," she said.

"I feel awesome. I think there's nothing better than just showing by confidence and showing that I love my body. Why not share it with LA, New York, everywhere?"
