Love Island’s Millie Court forced to deny she’s pregnant after being repeatedly asked
LOVE Island's Millie Court has been forced to deny that she's pregnant after being repeatedly asked by fans.
The 24-year-old took to Instagram to confirm that she is not expecting a baby with boyfriend Liam Raredon, 22.
Earlier today the Love Island winner shared a selection of make-up free and unfiltered snaps to celebrate International Women's Day.
Although most praised Millie for the touching post, some asked if she was pregnant.
The reality star shared a screen grab of the question on her Story and said: "I've been getting a lot of these messages and comments recently..."
Millie continued: "NO I am not pregnant although one day hopefully I will be and I'm sure it'll be one of the happiest days of my life but being a woman, especially in the public eye, I've now experienced what it's like to be absolutely torn apart by the way you look, dress, act etc and it can be hard on someone to be constantly judged.
"I personally feel like I am a very strong girl so those words don't often hurt me, and neither does this.
"Hence why I am trying my best to show everyone you are beautiful no matter way, without all the editing and filters.
"But if you have made this comment to someone, just think about how that someone could take that and it could potentially hurt.
"This is of course indicating that someone's put on weight and almost feels like a nicer way to say are u pregnant or are you just packing on the pounds?"
Millie bravely went on to open up about she's felt about her body in the past.
The TV star explained that she has always been in between dress sizes and was happy with her body before entering the villa.
Millie continued: "I've always been (before Love Island) fluctuating between a size 8 and 10, but most of the time a size 10.
"I was so happy with the way I looked, I didn't think twice about it."
But before taking part in Love Island, she decided to hit the gym to shed some weight.
She continued: "On the weeks leading up to Love Island I felt the need to lose several pounds because I knew I was going to be surrounded by beautiful slim girls.
"I worked out every single day and ate salad for lunch and to tell you the truth I was miserable whilst doing it.
"I'd changed whilst I was on the show for several reasons that's probably for another story time.
"But I went from a size 10 to a 6, and it's the smallest I've ever been as a young adult.
"Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy etc) and I remember looking at myself, I'd lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I MISSED them."
The star explained that she's now feeling herself again and pleaded with fans to ignore the "beauty standard of perfection".
Millie concluded: "Anyway the point of this is, since coming out of Love Island, I've found my love for my food again and yes I'm getting back to my usual size.

"But I love being this way and I just want you all to know that if you love your body and the way that you are, then that is THE most important thing.
"We're all different shapes and sizes, each size perfect in our own way.
"But please don't get stuck to the beauty standard of 'perfection'.
"Don't feel the pressure to need to be like some of the models we see on the runway because I know being in this job and in the limelight, those pressures are extremely heightened.
"And today I'm letting go of that pressure and telling you all I am perfectly happy the way I am."
Millie shot to fame on the seventh series of the ITV2 dating show last year.
Since winning the show with Welsh hunk Liam, they have moved in together.
They have been busy showing off the amazing pad on Instagram.
