They are the very epitome of narcissism - a self-shot portrait taken at the most flattering angle, and in the best light.

But now it seems selfies have taken, well, a turn for the worse.

A raft of stars have been tweeting some less than flattering pictures of themselves from their sick beds - sparking an online trend for the ill health selfie.

The craze seems to have swept across the globe with celebrities such as model Kelly Brook, Canadian popstar Justin Bieber and footballer Wayne Rooney sharing their ailments with the world.

This is... beyond stupid. P.S. Is it possible for Justin Bieber (or however it's spelled) to appear in a photo without his hand on his junk? GROSS.
