To clear things up she later added that in her before photo she struggled from an unhealthy mindset and it was this that she wanted to change. 

She said: ‘I wasn’t eating properly, or regularly, I barely slept and I was going out and partying a lot!’ 

Revealing the steps that she had taken to loose the weight she admitted that she gained help from professionals as she lacked the ‘motivation’. 

The star added: ‘My body is 100% normal at all stages! My stomach is never fully flat, because I have a womb and you bloat throughout the day.

‘When I sit down my tummy rolls and sticks out (as everyone does). My thighs hold a majority of my weight, sometimes they have cellulite, sometimes they don’t, but they always 100% jiggle. 

‘I have days where I have to jump to put certain trousers on and get frustrated that something that fit me yesterday didn’t fit me today. Life for me is about balance.’
