"Obviously the physical difference is clear to see, I got me some biceps. But the main difference, the most important difference between them, you can’t see. Although I didn't see it at the time, in the first picture I was far from healthy."

The TV star continued: "I was tired a lot, eating a lot of fast food or skipping meals, regular nights out on Friday & Saturdays followed by the hangover and junk food Sundays, my skin was having regular breakouts, I was bloated a lot, wasn't sleeping great and at the time, I just thought it was normal."

She finished by adding: "My skin is better, my sleep is better, I have more energy, I'm physically and mentally stronger which puts me in a great headspace to be the best mum and partner I can be."
