Jacqueline Jossa has been posing up a storm on Instagram – sharing some shots of herself modelling her new range of swimwear to show the difference between ‘posed’ and ‘relaxed’ pictures.
Jac shared two photos of herself side-by-side, wearing the same polka dot bikini – in one shot she's breathing in and perfectly posed, in the other she's more natural but still sporting a huge grin.
And we’re not going to lie, she looks sensational in both.
Plus, it's heartening to see famous mums celebrating their bodies, wobbly bits and all!
In the post, which has clocked up over 240,000 likes so far, Jac says, ‘Of course I prefer the shot on the left but who sits like that around the pool, breathing in, arm aching, bum digging into the side 🤦🏻♀ I really wanted to shoot my swimwear my way and show a bit of realness in how this looks on me.’
And the compliments have been, rightly, flooding in for Jac. Both from famous faces and her legions of fans.
‘Beautiful 😍😍😍😍💗' @hjgflanagan
‘I prefer the pic on the right much more real and completely natural and beautiful. Fantastic body size Jac 😍😍😍’ @airborne9086
‘You’re bloody gorgeous- posing or not 😍xx’ @dollyjj
It's a shame that women still feel the need to defend their choice of swimwear or explain their pictures, but it is great to see someone with Jac's following championing this natural approach.
As she says herself, 'Shout out to all us women working on loving their bodies because that shit is hard and I'm proud of us.'
Jacqueline, who starred as Lauren Branning in Eastenders, went on to win our hearts when she appeared in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in 2019. She was crowned Queen of the jungle thanks to her honest and emotional chats.
Jacqueline has two children, Ella, 5 and Mia, 1, with her husband Dan Osborne.
The couple have had a rocky romance but despite reports their marriage ended during lockdown, Jacqueline has confirmed there was no split and that she was simply taking some time to herself.
