Tinie Tempah tops child popularity poll

Pop star Tinie Tempah has been voted as children's most influential celebrity spectacle wearer in a poll by Vision Express. The rapper was voted ahead of Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Leona Lewis and Rihanna, respectively.

A survey of 500 schools found 81 per cent of children believed such celebrities were to thank for helping young glasses wearers be accepted by their peers. However, further research by the multiple found a third of kids had experienced teasing or bullying when wearing glasses.

It was also found that around a quarter of school children were being forced to hide their spectacles because they were embarrassed about them, while one in six would instead prefer to squint at the whiteboard during class.
