Stacey Solomon has opened up on her fears of sharing bikini pictures on her public Instagram account after battling trolls over her body image.
The 32 year old Loose Women star, who has launched her first swimwear line with her In The Style range, explained that there are "so many people out there" who have "their opinions".
Posting an image of herself wearing a floral white bikini combo, the red-haired beauty posed with her back to the camera next to her outdoor swimming pool.
The understated vintage print featured lots of tiny yellow flowers scattered across the fabric, and the top was adorned with a frilly hem around the outside.
Alongside a mantra saying "You are beautiful" and "I am beautiful", Stacey told her followers: "I can honestly say I've found this collection the most daunting of all.
"I am so grateful for my body and I love it. But I am fully aware that there are so many people out there who will have their opinions on what I look like because I am no Victoria's Secret model."
The star continued by encouraging her fans not to listen to the nasty comments or society in general if it meant they were giving away their power.
She said: "I was nervous making swimwear and then modelling it and sharing it on here but no matter what anyone says about you or how society tends to make people feel about themselves, just keep telling yourself…
"F*** what anyone else thinks. Don't give them that power."
It comes as the mum-of-four, who is engaged to former EastEnders actor Joe Swash, 40, and shares children Rex, three, and baby Rose, eight months, with him, shared a selection of official snaps wearing her new range on her Instagram grid too.
In the post, Stacey gushed over her "pride" for the collection, and revealed the reaction from her fans has so far been amazing.

"I was so nervous about designing a summer range that included swimwear but you all have really given me so much confidence to just go for it," she shared.
"I’ve always wanted swimwear that covers my flaps and can hold up my boobs so I’m so so proud of this!" the star joked. "What’s even better is that the full collection is made from more sustainable fabrics including organic cotton, responsible viscose & recycled fabrics!
"I’m so so happy with it and can’t wait for you guys to see it all," Stacey added.
