FERNE McCann has been praised by fans for sharing a "brave" pic of her real post-baby body.
The former Towie star, 32, welcomed her second child earlier this month.
Ferne and fiance Lorri Haines have been adjusting to family life with their new arrival baby Finty.
The new mum is now keen to get back to feeling herself to feel "more confident and comfortable" in her own skin.
Ferne shared a snap of her post-partum body on her fitness Instagram account with a lengthy caption.
She said: "Finty’s arrival has left me in awe of my body all over again. I carried the flame and birthed the fire.

"I really wasn’t sure whether to share this picture because it’s a funny thing isn’t it?
"People have so much to say about other people’s choices with THEIR bodies. This is what MY BODY looks like post birth. I know some people will likely say I look great or I don’t need to put pressure on myself. Let me clear – I’m not.
"However I’m ready to feel more confident and comfortable in MY own skin & I want to inspire other women to feel the same.
"I won’t be exercising until I’ve been given the all clear after my 6 week check but I can still lose weight and have energy and prioritise my wellbeing."

Many rushed to the comments section to share the love.
One said: "beautiful mumma."
Another chimed in: "Thanks for posting this. I’m 2 babies on and still have a wobbly tummy but our babies and our bodies are amazing ! It’s amazing to be a woman and grow a human. Well done xx."
"Amazing!! We need to see more of this on Instagram. I’m so tired of seeing these “perfect” bodies of women. All it does is make us self conscious, have negative body images and hate ourselves! I’m all for the REAL reels and selfies! Celebrities …. And all women should be using this platform to spread equality, self love, and their “imperfections” because no one is perfect but we are all perfect in our own ways!," a third added.
A fourth wrote: "Your incredible!!! You inspired me at the beginning and you still inspire me now THANK YOU!!."
Ferne was seen for the first time after giving birth as she went on a romantic stroll with fiancé Lorri.
The pair enjoyed a walk in the sunshine with Finty in Essex.
Ferne and Lorri got engaged a year ago after Lorri popped the question abroad.
Then in January it was revealed they were expecting their first child together.
Ferne is already mum to daughter Sunday, who she shares with convicted acid attacker, Arthur Collins.
