Geordie Shore’s Chantelle Connelly reveals her toned tummy just three weeks after giving birth

CHANTELLE Connelly has stunned fans by revealing her toned tummy just three weeks after giving birth.

The 29-year-old Geordie Shore star took to Instagram to show off her enviable abs in matching Calvin Klein underwear.

In the post, Chantelle's impressive thigh tattoo is on full display, with the star's taut tummy front and centre in the snap.

She also included a photo of her newborn, Ricardo, sleeping soundly on her shoulder in addition to a regular selfie.

The reality star captioned the post: "The body coming back after my baby, who is three weeks old. Getting back to myself."

The brunette beauty was inundated with comments from her shocked followers, who were quick to share their thoughts on her post-baby figure.

One wrote: "How do you even have time to get toned like that?

"I didn't get out of my PJs until the third week."

Another joked: "You look better than me three weeks post-partum than I do as a childless 24 year old."

A third commented: "Doesn’t even look like you’ve had one!!"

One follower agreed: "Did she even have a baby?"

Chantelle welcomed her first child by emergency C-section last month, previously telling The Sun Online that she almost died during the traumatic birth.

Speaking exclusively, the star told us: "My blood pressure had dropped to around 60, my mum said I could have gone into cardiac arrest, that is what I was slipping into.

"The doctors all came running in and flushed my system to get the epidural out.

"It was an emergency to get the baby out because he was deteriorating, it was just an absolute nightmare."

Chantelle's mum, Allison, was the one to announce Ricardo's arrival into the world - posting on her Instagram account that her famous daughter still didn't know that she'd welcomed a baby boy as she'd been put to sleep.

Allison came under fire for the move, with some critics insisting that she should have left it to Chantelle to announce the birth.

However, the Geordie star insisted that she had told her mum to make the post before she went under.

Speaking about her son, Chantelle went on to gush: "He's the most beautiful little thing ever, he literally hurts my heart he is that perfect.

"I honestly can't imagine life without him, I am so, so happy."

Chantelle announced her pregnancy with new boyfriend Lee Blackburn back in September, just months after breaking up with her ex Clark Crawford.

The star shot to fame in 2016 when she joined MTV reality show Geordie Shore.

However, she left after just one season after having a meltdown in Greece.

Chantelle told her fans that there are "more important things than reality TV" as she announced her departure, adding: "Fame and money isn't everything, health and happiness is!!"
