Towie’s Shelby Tribble, 28, says she ‘hates’ herself and wants ‘a body full of surgery’ two months after giving birth
NEW mum Shelby Tribble shared a heartbreaking Instagram post last night in which she said she "hates" herself and wants a "face and body full of surgery".
The former Towie star, who gave birth to son Abel in November, revealed social media fuelled her self-esteem issues and she found herself comparing herself to others.
Sharing a makeup-fee selfie video, the 28-year-old wrote: "I barely spend time or post on my social media because everytime I go on it, it makes me feel so s**t about myself and the way I look.
"To try and keep up with a certain standard is hard work. I already suffer with low confidence and self esteem. It honestly makes me want to get a face and body full of surgery.
"Lockdown is really getting to me now also, I feel like I don't have conversation in me at the best of times, now it's non existent.
"I hate myself. I wish I was super confident."
Shelby and boyfriend Sam Mucklow previously revealed Abel's birth was "tough".
Announcing his arrival, Sam wrote on Instagram: "Shelby and our beautiful baby boy are both well and healthy.
"Shelby didn't have a straightforward labour so she has been in hospital for five days.
"She has been an absolute soldier.
"Also need to thank all of the doctors and nurses, midwifes in antenatal labour and postnatal at Queens Hospital, Romford.
"So many lovely staff we are so lucky to have the NHS."
He added: ";Thank you all for your lovely messages wishing us luck.
"So many beautiful people out there and it's honestly overwhelming. Thank you all."
It was back in May that Shelby announced she was pregnant with her first child.
The 2015 Miss Great Britain winner and Sam showed off a sweet ultrasound photo of their unborn child on social media.
In both photos, the excited parents-to-be beamed as they posed outside their front door, which has a feathered rainbow wreath supporting the NHS as decoration.
Shelby captioned the sweet post: "Something fantastic is making us glad, we’re changing our names to Mum and Dad".
The model quit the ITVBe hit reality show in September to focus on her baby and relationship with Sam, who also left the Brentwood-based show.
