The TV personality continued by explaining toMail Onlinethat she wanted to show the realities of becoming a new mum rather than always posting glamorous snaps of herself.
She said: "I felt like I would just be lying if I didn't tell the truth. I didn't just want to upload a picture of myself looking great, because it's just not real.
"I've felt some sort of release from doing it. I was a bit nervous before and sometimes social media can be a real negative but it's been positive for me since I posted my experiences.
"I felt like I was scrolling on Instagram and everybody was looking so amazing after having a baby," she said. "They were in these tight little trousers and I was looking at myself thinking, 'I don't look like this.'"
