Jacqueline Jossa shows off her curves in new bikini range after turning it down over being ‘uncomfortable’ at first
JACQUELINE Jossa has proudly shown off her gorgeous bikini body while promoting her new range of swimwear in Ibiza.
Jacqueline, 27, donned a coral two-piece before posing for several 'honest' snaps by the pool and posting them online.
The I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! winner was keen to point out that she is proud of her size 12 curves but admitted she hasn't always felt so confident.
Jacqueline, who has two young children, said she initially turned down the opportunity to create her own collection because of her insecurities.
Sharing the snaps on Instagram, she told her fans: "It’s taken a while but I’ve learnt to love both angles 💕.
";You guys know me by now and I’m as normal as they come.
"I’m a working mum and a size 12 and I can’t walk around looking perfect all the time and I’ve accepted that’s completely fine.
"So this is just a little reminder to all us women that EVERY body is a bikini body and the perfect instagram pics we see isn’t always the reality, sometimes it’s just good lighting and good angles!"
Jacqueline continued: "I also had turned down the chance to do a swimwear range with @inthestyle earlier this year as perhaps wasn’t comfortable shooting it....
"But I changed my mind & decided I wanted to create something I was comfortable with and only wanted to shoot it if we could keep it real and honest and so all of you can see how it really looks on me!"
The star finished her inspirational message: "It’s out soon so I’ll keep you all posted! 💕BE KIND X."
Jacqueline, who found fame in BBC soap EastEnders, is currently in Ibiza shooting her InTheStyle range.
Since posting the photos, she has been inundated with praise from her 2.8 million followers.
One wrote: "You are my kind of woman! I love how honest you are! I love your a normal size 12 and it makes me appreciate being a 12 more too!
"It’s ok not to be skinny like they promote constantly so thank you! X💞."
Another wrote: "Beautiful I both pics! 2nd pic is amazing though if only all bikinis were advertised in real positions with real angles wed all have a better idea of how they look on bodies x."
A third gushed: "I love this! Good on you! Such a great role model for your own children and young girls too! Well done xx."
Jacqueline has also been commended by InTheStyle founder Adam Frisby.
Adam commented: "What a beautiful, beautiful woman!! So proud to have you representing my brand and a huge role model to so many! ❤️❤️❤️."
Jacqueline flew to Ibiza with former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby and the Mummy Diaries' and ex-Towie babe Billie Faiers.
The trio, who have all teamed up with InTheStyle, have been set up in a luxurious villa with its own private pool to mess around in and epic views of the party island.
