Gabby Allen has shared a candid Instagram post detailing her struggles with body confidence as she posted gallery of bikini-clad snaps on Thursday.
The Love Island star, 32, showed off her toned physique in a skimpy white bikini and in a lengthy caption admitted she's 'trying to reframe how she perceives herself'.
In her post, Gabby shared a list of body parts she's struggled to accept in recent years, and said that while others assume she's fully embraced her body, that is far from the case.
Gabby, who last month underwent a correct boob job after botched surgery, showed off her gym-honed figure in the barely-there white bikini in the collection of snaps.
She wrote: '5ft 2, big wonky ribs, hip dips, no waist - straight up and down, not thin enough but definitely not fat enough to moan, flat chested, chunky legs, arms too wide in pictures, bum not perky enough, not quite pretty enough…
'These are just a few of the things I have been given a hard time for AND/OR given myself a hard time over in the past and for transparency, some.
'I still have back and forth with now - apart from the flat chestedness… not any more b*****s!
'Sometimes (all the time) I worry about how I come across on social media, I don't wanna be too IN YA FACE, or appear ''big headed'' or sl***y or not fitness enough or not fashun enough or just like a t**t
'But then I see some other girls posts and I'm like YES girl! They look unreal and I would love to post similar stuff but the I don't because of ALL of the above- people's opinions and my opinion of myself.
'The reason I'm writing this is because I'm sure there are people out there, and I've been told people think I'm dead confident and have 'my sh*t together' but in actual fact, I don't at all & that's okay.
'But I'm going to keep f*****g trying! (Still trying since Love Island days when I had my lil meltdown)
'It IS actually something I'm actively now working on. At the end of the day, no one's opinions should really matter about ourself, apart from our own.
'I'm trying to reframe how perceive myself in the mirror. Instead of picking out bits I'm trying to change, I'm trying to see the bits I like.
'When I have a negative thought in my head, putting myself down, I'm trying to switch it to a positive more comforting feeling instead.
'I'm trying not compare myself to other people on social media by… not looking.
'I hope someone reads this and resonates with me and it gives them the bitta confidence boost today! 'Fake it til you make it' and all that! Love always.'
Gabby's post was soon flooded with comments praising her for speaking so candidly about her battles with body confidence.
'You are gorgeous, love this; Love this. Keep being you lovely;'
'Unreal! Why can’t ppl just appreciate the dedication and hard work that goes into looking like this;'
'I f*****g love how real you are on here. Natural beauty through and through.'
