Loose Women star Stacey Solomon has opened up about her secret stretch marks around her body in an inspiring Instagram post today.
The mum-of-three took to social media to encourage her followers to share unedited pictures of themselves to encourage body confidence, in partnership with Dove.
Kicking things off, Stacey lifted up her top to show off her stretch marks around her stomach and hips, revealing they were her favourite ones.
She said she loved them because they “sparkled like glitter in the sun” and also went all the way around her body like a “hula skirt”.

Talking to her son Rex, she said she got them because her hips grew so much while she was pregnant with her three sons.
In another post, Stacey sat lengthways to the camera and lifted up her top once again to show off the stretch marks from another angle.
She wrote: “Here is mine.

“Never be ashamed of who you are. Every tiny detail of your body tells a story of everything you’ve been through.
“All of the challenges you faced. The highs and lows of your story so far.”
She added: “So let’s embrace every bit of us and start to be kinder to our beautifully diverse bodies,
“I can’t wait to see your pictures make sure you use the hashtag so I definitely get to see them.

“With all of this there would be no pickles.”
Meanwhile, Stacey opened up about her own mental health as she admitted she is feeling “exhausted and riddled with mum guilt”.
She said: “Good morning, the house is asleep but the wind is howling so I’m up watching the clouds…
“I don’t know why every noise wakes me up but ever since having Zach 12 years ago I’m up at the drop of a pin. I’ve 100% lost the ability to lay in…
“Every morning that I’m up before the pickles and I say good morning and ask how you are. I lay here and read through your morning messages. I try to reply to as many as I can but I can never get through them all…”
