New pictures have been released showing Undateables heartthrob Tom Morgan starring in his second modelling gig.
Tom, who is unretouched in the images, has teamed up with menswear retailer Jacamo to promote self-confidence in a bid to encourage all men to be comfortable in their own skin; something extremely close to the tourettes and Asperger's sufferer.
The latest pictures, which come six months after Tom took part in his first shoot for the retailer, show Tom fronting the high summer campaign which focuses on swim, beach, and holiday wear, with a striking turquoise pool and Portuguese sunset perfectly setting the scene.
Tom commented: “I was so pleased to be asked back for another shoot and definitely felt more relaxed having got one under my belt already. The outfits were all great and so easy to put together which has made me realise there is no excuse to not take that extra ten minutes to get ready so that I feel better in myself.
“The most powerful thing for me from this project is that I have got to a place where I can look at these pictures and be at ease with myself, knowing that no matter if I have a good day or bad I can come out the other side; being around great people and feeling good in myself are huge factors in this.”
Jenni Bamford from Jacamo added: “Tom is a dream to work with and we will continue to support him. Our work doesn’t finish at simply providing clothes… we want to bring men together and make them feel the best version of themselves possible – inside and out. We hope Tom’s story is a message to everyone to be comfortable in your own skin.”
Viewers of the Undateables saw Tom who, on first impression may seem to hide his battle with Asperger’s and Tourettes behind his macho rugby-player physique, take part in an unsuccessful date due to his lack of self-confidence. Despite his profile continuing to rise, appearances on TV shows including Loose Women, numerous trends on Twitter, and an online following of over 35,000, Tom admits to still be searching for love.
Aside from playing rugby, Tom is dedicated to raising awareness of his conditions, and helping others who also suffer. He has recently set up a community enterprise, Mentoring Plus UK. He is also an ambassador for the National Autistic Society and State of Mind Rugby Union.
Jacamo, whose long serving brand ambassador is Andrew Flintoff, promotes self-confidence and inclusivity for all men, and is also a size specialist retailer catering for men of all body shapes and sizes from small to 5XL, coming in handy with Tom’s rugby player physique and 6ft 2 height.
