Big Brother’s Harry Amelia reveals her stretched-marked stomach just two weeks after giving birth
The glamour model is concerned about getting back to work
BIG Brother Harry Amelia has shown her fans the reality of giving birth – a stretched-marked stomach.
The reality star - who welcomed her son Hunter Alexander James with estranged partner Nick Henderson – shared a picture of her post baby body in all it’s glory but she appears to be struggling with the changes.
Branding it her ‘car crash belly’, the new mum then went on to question what she would do once she returns to work as a glamour model.
In a lengthy caption, she wrote: “Feel a bit ill putting this up haha and probably put you all off your Sunday roast but here's my car crash belly two weeks post labour pushing out my 8lb 6oz not so little monster!!????????
“Long road to go down and f**k knows what I'll do about them bloody stretch marks when I go back to work ???????? #photoshop please ???????? #mummytummy #postbabybody #postpartum #stretchmarks #fatty #rawdoughbelly #missionsixpack #diet #weightloss #mealprep time.”
The post received a mix reaction from her fans but most of them were quick to tell her not to be so hard on herself.

They also praised her for sharing such a candid image which many celebrities would be unwilling to share.
“THANK YOU for this! Real women, real bodies! Xxxxx,” wrote one. Another commented: “Gorgeous powerful woman.”
While someone else remarked: “Dont be so hard on urself its only been 2 weeks since u had ur little one..give urself time and u will go back to normal ????(sic).”
Harry – who had a bitter falling out with fellow BB star Nick during her pregnancy - decided to explain a little further about why she had shared the image, thanking her fans in the process.
“I posted this as being pregnant really affected my self confidence... Whether that was down to my body changing or all the issues going on in my personal life, who knows,” she wrote.
“But with my primary source of income coming from being a model it makes me worry for the future once my maternity leave is over.. But I'm determined to get my body back, albeit slowly, and get back to work so I can provide for my son and give him a future I could only dream of as a child.”
She added: “But quite literally baby steps, I'm starting to do gentle exercise at home and hoping to be back riding my beloved horses and swimming once the bleeding stops.. But I wanted to document it so if I'm having a down day and am worried about the way I look, which I did pretty much every day when pregnant, I can look back on this pic and compare it to my progress.. All us new mummies may be far from perfect but we try our best.”
