'This is my belly. It doesn’t look how It used to look. First it was quite a bit smaller and smoother, and then it grew my best mate,' the former EastEnders star began.

'Isn’t that so f****** cool? I bet your bellies are pretty f****** cool too, whether they grew stuff or not.

'Aren’t bodies wicked? All so different and weird and wonderful- and very powerful.

'We’re all so ridiculously beautiful, aren’t we? ❤️,' she concluded.

Alongside the post, she wrote: 'Last week I was lucky enough to be asked to take part in @wearewomanhood latest shoot to launch 3 new underwear brands to their site. 

'Bloody love that they use real peeps to model, natural light to shoot, we were all totally makeup free- and every lump, bump, mark, or anything else is there to stay- to be celebrated, and not eradicated. 

'Female owned underwear brands, that empower us and don't make us feel crap about ourselves when we shop? Yaass please.'
