Katherine Ryan has shared her praise for Charlotte Crosby after the reality star showed fans her real postpartum figure on Instagram.
Charlotte, 32, had taken to Instagram to share a sweet photo of the anniversary surprise her boyfriend Jake Ankers had set up for her after the pair welcomed their baby daughter Alba last month.
The Geordie Shore star shared a photo of her standing next to a dining table laid out with white roses around a row of candles, as well as a box of red roses and red heart balloons.
Charlotte stood next to the table in a nude patterned jumpsuit as she told her followers: ‘What a year. THANKYOU @jake_ankers for arranging something so special for our “OFFICIAL” anniversary.
‘Please be kind in the comments (I realise I still look pregnant) I literally had nothing that fits and this was the comfiest thing on my c-section scar and the stretchiest thing for my tummy!
‘But that aside (felt I needed to explain myself) what a beautiful night not having to leave the house with the most 2 special people in my whole life, Alba and Jake you are my whole world, what a year.’

Katherine, who is currently pregnant with her third baby, praised Charlotte for showing her postpartum body, writing: ‘You don’t look pregnant – you look like you just had a baby and it’s great to normalise what that actually looks like,’ along with a heart-eye emoji.
More friends and fans took to Charlotte’s comments to thank her for showing that it is completely normal for postpartum stomachs to take a while to contract down after having a baby, when other influencers only show photos of them having ‘snapped back’ after giving birth, which is not the case for most women.
Holly Hagan added: ‘The bump is so cute I want it to stay forever I’m sure this has given comfort to a lot of women that this is totally normal! We need more of this!!’

Happy anniversary mummy and daddy’ and ‘Don’t apologise for how your body looks any time! You’ve just brought a gorgeous girl into the world. It’s great to see realness of having a baby! This is reassuring for me to see! ‘
Another added: ‘Im very proud of you charlotte, because your someone who has publicly shared the struggles of all the backlash that peps constantly give you about your bodies, and Im pretty sure you would of um and rrrd about posting this a million times, but yes you have just birthed a human and had a c-section and so f*n what if you still have a bump… totally normal and its sad that it is a rare pic to see on ig… but heres to one of the most realistic pics iv seen on ig for a long time! Now young teens can see that it doeent just magically disappear in the blink of an eye.’
