Proud Jacqueline Jossa shows off her ‘realness’ as she admits when it comes to loving her body ‘that s*** is hard’
JACQUELINE Jossa has stunned fans by showing off her "realness" in a polka-dot bikini set.
The 27-year-old actress proudly opened up to followers in a honest post on Instagram today, writing: "Shout out to all us women working on loving their bodies."
Jacqueline uploaded two photos of herself as she modelled her new swimwear collection with In The Style.
The first shot showed the former soap star posing next to the pool in a flattering black and white bikini set.
While the second captured Jacqueline looking slightly more carefree as she giggled towards the camera.
The stunning actress, who sported glamorous make-up and hair for the shoot, no doubt looked incredible in both.
Alongside the post, she wrote: "Shout out to all us women working on loving their bodies because that s*** is hard and I’m proud of us 🙌🏻 .
"Just wanted to share another posed v relaxed pic from my @inthestyle shoot! Of course I prefer the shot on the left but who sits like that around the pool, breathing in, arm aching, bum digging into the side.
"I really wanted to shoot my swimwear my way and show a bit of realness in how this looks on me."
Jacqueline continued: "A huge thanks to @inthestyle for letting me do this and design a little swimwear collection which I think is flattering for all shapes!!
"I felt so comfortable in it all! It’s sizes 6-24, limited edition and launches Tuesday 6pm on the app 💕."
The former EastEnders star is often praised by fans for her "normal" outlook on body confidence and self love.
It comes after the star revealed she's planning to "move more" as it's "good for the brain" after unveiling her first ever swimwear collection.
Taking to Instagram, Jac explained that losing weight isn't her goal but that "she wouldn't mind it."
She said: "I'm having those thoughts of I need to start doing a bit for me and I'm going to try and go for walks and maybe do some exercise.
"And no, before everyone pipes up it's not to necessarily lose weight, I wouldn't mind it but it is more just to know that you're doing something.
"Because work-wise I'm feeling really good, I'm busy I'm on the ball and I just want to maintain that and I feel like getting on the ball with it now, it's got to be done."
Sharing her goals with fans, she wrote: "Gotta start doing some fitness stuff, purely for the mind, not to get skinnaaaay!!
