Casey Batchelor admits she’s still ‘carrying a lot of extra weight’ after pregnancy as she shares ‘Instagram Vs real life’ snap
CASEY Batchelor has shared a picture showing the difference between Instagram and real life as she admits she is still "carrying a lot of extra weight" after giving birth.
The Celebrity Big Brother star welcomed her first child - daughter Florence - in May with boyfriend Dane Goodson.
Since then, the 33-year-old has given her fans frank and honest updates of her life as a new mum, including her thoughts on her post-baby body.
Taking to Instagram today, Casey shared a side-by-side picture of herself wearing purple exercise leggings and a black Adidas sports bra.
In one, her waist looked trim and her tummy flat, while in the second - as she held her sleeping daughter - Casey revealed what she really looks like in profile.
She wrote underneath it: "Instagram VS Real Life. Don’t always believe what you see in pictures because 9/10 that isn’t real life!
"Yes I’m still carrying a lot of extra weight and am clearly not one of those lucky people who can snap back into shape easily!
"All I know is that most of my days consists of a messy bun, baby sick on my shoulder, dirty nappies and sterilising bottles on minimum sleep, but I wouldn’t change it for the world because that’s real life my lovelies #instagramvsreality #reallife #mumlife."
Casey's fans were full of praise for the star being so open about her post-baby body.
One wrote in the comment section: "Love that you keep it real and are true to yourself.x" while another added: "Yes to celebrity mammas being real, making the rest of the world feel normal xx".

A third agreed, writing: "Well done Casey, if more women in the public eye were as honest as you.
"I think it would be really good for Young first time mothers who end up thinking they have done something wrong or are not good enough.
"And as you well know it’s so hard anyway without the pressure to look fabulous straight away. You look glowing darling."
