Molly-Mae Hague revealed she was struggling with her body confidence after giving birth to her first child earlier this year.
The former Love Island star, 24, opened up about wearing a bikini on holiday during a recent vlog upload while away at her manager’s wedding in Barbados.
Welcoming Bambi with her boxing beau and fellow reality star Tommy Fury, 24, in January, the YouTuber has kept her fans in the loop about her adjustments to mum life.
In her latest video diary entry, she touched on the subject of body confidence and revealed she was still working on returning to her pre-baby mindset about wearing a two-piece around the pool.
Lying on a deck chair in the sunny exotic destination, the star explained that she was sticking with one-piece bathing suits for the duration of the trip as she wasn’t ready to bare her midriff just yet.
She reported from the comfort of her Barbadian sun-lounger and said: ‘I’ve got this swimming costume on… for me at the minute swimsuits are the one. I’m not a bikini girl at the minute because I just don’t have the confidence.

‘I didn’t really have the confidence for bikinis before I had a baby.’
The much-loved influencer continued sharing: ‘Right now with my body, I need anything that is going to give me confidence… Because I genuinely feel like with time, my confidence with my body is actually getting worse. It’s irritating me.
‘I really felt on this trip that I am going to embrace it, I don’t care, my new mum body, I’m proud of it, and I am but at the same time I’m finding it hard to accept that I’ve got a real journey to start if I want to feel more confident in my body.

‘I was speaking about it to my family. I just don’t ever picture myself putting on a bikini ever again, I never did [feel confident] in the first place. There’s just no way.
‘Before I had a baby I didn’t feel confident in a bikini, so after having a baby I don’t picture myself ever thinking, “I’ll slip a bikini on and feel amazing”.
