BRAVE Lydia Bright fought back tears as she opened up about the realities of being a working mum and said she's "exhausted".
The Towie star, who gave birth to her daughter Loretta last year, emotionally addressed fans on her Instastories.
Speaking from her mum Debbie's bed, Lydia, 30, said: "I'm exhausted today.
"In case you can't tell.
"Look at my skin as well.
"Loretta was up all night last night for some reason.
"She has had one hour sleep time today. One hour nap time. She is so hyperactive.
"Mother nature has made her monthly visit, I don't know if this is too much information.
"I have been working all day, and being a mum and I am really exhausted. "
"This is a really pointless story but just basically to say that I know sometimes it looks like i have got all my s*** together on my stories, but I am tired. "
Holding back tears she added: "I am really, really tired.
"And I don't always have my s*** together.
"I've currently come round to Debbie's house.
"I'm in her bed while she has taken Loretta for a walk and to the park, because I need a break."
Lydia gave birth to her first child with ex Lee Cronin last February.
Confirming the news on Instagram, she wrote: "My darling girl has arrived. I am so overwhelmed with love, she is absolutely perfect."
The new mum shared a precious snap of her newborn grabbing her mum's thumb with the post.
