Back in October, the social media superstar admitted that she was struggling mentally during her pregnancy as she watched her body change.
The Pretty Little Thing creative director candidly spoke about how her growing belly had affected her mentally on her YouTube channel.
At the time, she admitted that while she's never been 'that girl who is excited to put on a bikini' she felt more self conscious due to her weight gain - a nd she said private messages she was sent prior to her announcement didn't help the matter either, despite the comments being intended to praise her.

"I knew that was going to be the one thing that I struggle with the most out of this whole entire journey," she said.
"Like, even if I was to be sick or to be poorly, or to have issues, I just knew that over everything, mentally a struggle for me would be like, well, it would be a mental struggle but it's a physical thing that's happening that I mentally struggle with - seeing the changes to my body."
"I've always struggled with my body a bit. I've always been quite self conscious about my body. I've never been that girl who is excited to put on a bikini for a holiday. I don't like summer and spring because I don't like wearing revealing clothes."
