She wrote: "The idea that women have babies and then immediately almost always is talk of after baby bodies [vomit emojis]. It's [awful], it's so backward!"

Motsi went on: "The fact that a woman gave birth is a miracle. Leave it there. A woman's body is in fact nobody's business.

Motsi opened up about her feelings on Instagram

Motsi shares the little tot with her husband of three years, Evgenij Voznyuk, and the family are based in Germany.

While the former dancer keeps many of the details of her daughter's life private, she has previously spoken about the little girl's personality.

"She is funny, cute, intelligent and keeps me busy the whole time," she wrote on her Instagram Stories back in January.

"We have so much fun together and I try so hard sometimes lol. But still, first-time mum, learning by doing #gratitudeattitude daily exercise!"

Motsi's daughter recently shared in her mum's excitement for her sister, pro dancer Oti Mabuse.

The Strictly judge posted a video on Instagram which showed her holding up Oti's first children's book, Dance with Oti: The Bird Jive.

Motsi was clearly impressed with her sister's efforts, as she started by saying: "Oti, we're so proud of you, look at you girl."

The mum-of-one then asked her daughter if she wanted to say anything and the little girl said: "Yeah!" "What do you want to say?" Motsi asked. "I love you," the youngster sweetly added.
