Charlotte Crosby revealed she's been having an 'awful time' dealing with her body image since becoming a new mother.
The Geordie Shore icon welcomed her first child, Alba-Jean, with her partner Jake Ankers in October last year.
Although having her baby has been a dream come true, her confidence has taken a hit.
In December, she dissolved her lip fillers after her post-pregnancy swelling made them look 'too ridiculous'.
She admitted she felt more confident with lip filler and now struggles to 'feel confident in front of cameras'.

"Getting them dissolved is not worth how I feel. I feel self-conscious and it's not nice to feel like that," she revealed.

"It's an awful time. Dissolving my lips at that point was not a good idea, but I couldn't have walked around with them that big. It was a Catch-22."
Charlotte has been open about her pregnancy journey as well as her life as a first-time mother and fans have been praising her for posting about her body and supporting her.
In January, when she was asked whether her daughter made her proud of her body, she said: "Oh my God, so proud. I think the human body is an amazing thing."
She added to OK! Magazine : "I already can’t wait to have another baby. I’ve got the bug now!"
Charlotte told the publication that she thought being a mother would be 'getting up all through the night', but her daughter has been sleeping through it.
