Amy Hills was diagnosed with skin cancer earlier this year at the age of 24, after heavy use of sunbeds as a teenager.

Under-18s are already banned from using sunbeds in Scotland, and in April 2011 the law will change in England and Wales to make it illegal.

Here, Amy speaks to BBC2's Revealed, a programme that tackles issues affecting teenagers, about the lengths she went to for a tan.

Revealed: Loving the tan? is on BBC2, Saturday 21 August at 13.55.
