Candid: Cara Delevingne has admitted that she still struggles to be 'open' about her sexuality as she spoke candidly in her new documentary Planet Sex
Since its release on BBC iPlayer on Thursday, Planet Sex has already started trending on social media as viewers have started binge-watching the six episodes.
Reflecting on her own sexuality in episode two, Out and Proud?, Cara admitted that she still struggles with being 'really open' about how much 'I love women'.
She said she grew up with a lot of 'shame' surrounding her sexuality and said she felt she was never a part of the LGBTQ+ community due to her 'internalised shame'.
'I'm on a very personal journey into my own sexuality. You may or may not know I have had relationships with both men and women,' she explained in a voiceover.

'But I still struggle with being open - really open - about just how much I love women.'
'I grew up with a lot of shame is thinking, this isn't normal, this isn't human,' she added, saying her shame stopped her from coming out for a long time.
She said she dates women more than she does men, adding: 'Sexuality is a spectrum and mine wavers, but I'm probably, definitely more on the side of women. I like having sex with men, I just don't date them. I might though, you never know.'
Cara went on to explain that she doesn't believe in 'labels' to define her sexuality but said she has used them in the past, now identifying as queer and gender fluid.

The Suicide Squad actress admitted she feels like she hasn't lived a 'queer life' because of her grappling with homophobia and 'internalised shame'.
She said: 'I've always believed in the no labels thing, but have then spent a lot of time saying 'I'm bisexual, I'm pansexual'. I'm queer, I 100 per cent can tell you I'm queer, I don't know what else I can say other than that.'
'I haven't been able to live a queer life, the internalised shame, the homophobia,' she continued.
'I was never in the community, yes I came out but I never went to Pride, I never went to these parties, I never met these people. I never developed my queerness, I'm coming to it all very late.'
Cara admitted she had never been to Pride before and said most of her friends identified as straight, but making the documentary made her feel more connected to the LGBTQ+
