A top fashion model has revealed that she is intersex, saying that she hopes speaking out will help break a taboo.

Hanne Gaby Odiele, 29, was born with undescended testicles, which were removed when she was 10 after doctors warned that they could cause cancer.

Intersex people are born with a mixture of male and female sex characteristics.

According to the United Nations, the condition affects up to 1.7% of the world's population.

Ms Odiele, originally from Belgium, was born with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS).
