Big Brother star Ashley James has posted an unedited lingerie shot to her Instagram account, informing her followers she’s “accepting her cellulite” and said “sexiness is a state of mind, not an exterior shell.”
The candid post comes after she dropped the scantily-clad image to her Instagram story earlier this week and was met with comments from her online following who pointed out her cellulite or “bottom dimples”.
In the sexy snap, the blonde beauty donned a racy black bra and pant set with co-ordinating suspender belt and over-the knee stockings.
With her face turning away from the mirror and looking into the camera, the 32-year-old showed off her never-ending pins and pert behind.
In the honest caption, the former Celebrity Big Brother star opened up about loving your body and her “normal cellulite” which she used to “loathe”.
She began: “Sexiness is a state of mind, not an exterior shell.
“A couple of weeks ago, I put this image up on my stories and asked you what the first thing you noticed about it was. I had thousands of responses (I had to stop counting after about 5 minutes), but only 65 people said cellulite, or ‘bottom dimples’ as they are affectionately known.

“I could have changed my body position and hidden my cellulite from the world, but WHY? It’s normal. Nearly all women (and some men) have it regardless of how much exercise we do. I’ve had it since I was about 16 years old, when I used to run for my country and I used to loathe it.”
She added: “The more I’ve looked at my body and told myself it’s beautiful, the more I’ve seen photos of other people with ‘normal’ bodies, the more I’ve believed it. Someone said I’m beautiful despite my cellulite, but I say I’m beautiful because of accepting my cellulite.
“We can keep changing what’s on the outside, but until we work on being happy on the inside, we’re never going to feel enough anyway. So your body is normal. your body is sexy.
