Olivia Bowen has opened up about struggling with her body image after giving birth to her son, Abel, two years ago. In a candid and emotional chat with Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, Olivia, 30, told how she 'knew' she'd struggle with the look of her body after giving birth, with the star constantly comparing herself to other new mums.

Discussing her post-pregnancy figure, the reality TV star said: "So I knew when I got pregnant that was something that I would just lose my s**t over after.

I really... I still struggle with it. But after I hated myself like beyond belief. Like really, really struggled with my body image.

Pregnant - loved, loved, loved it. And then the minute, that minute Abel was born and I was looking at myself in a completely different light, which makes no sense. "The fact that you can look at yourself when you're pregnant and absolutely love the way you look and think, 'wow, I'm incredible.
