Former America's Next Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco has recreated the music video for Ariana Grande's '7 rings',  released last week, using sign language.

It represented a victory for the deaf model, who describes himself as 'sexually fluid'. DiMarco has previously taken video hosting platform Vevo to task, tagging Grande on twitter and asking why they hadn't provided captions for her 'Thank u, next' music video.

"Could you ask to add captions for 466 million people with hearing loss?" DiMarco tweeted Grande, adding: "Deaf here and we do enjoy your music."

Well, it seems Grande and/or Vevo were listening, with '7 rings' launching complete with closed captioning.
