Bethan Kershaw praised by fans as she tells them ‘you don’t have to be skinny to have fun’ in a thong bikini
GEORDIE Shore’s Bethan Kershaw has been praised by fans after showing off her real body in a thong bikini and telling them ‘you don’t have to be skinny to have fun’.
The body-positive former reality star encouraged followers to embrace their stomach rolls at the beach in a new video she shared to Instagram.
The 28-year-old initially hid under a grey towel in the clip, before stripping down to her thong bikini.
While covering her body she gave examples of insecurities people face during the summer.
Captions written over the video said: “I wish I was skinny. I can’t, I’m too fat. I don’t like my belly rolls.”
The northern lass looked around the beach nervously in the clip, and hugged her knees to her chest to avoid exposing her tummy.
But the tone changed as she showed fans what it’s like to decide to celebrate your body.
As an upbeat song about loving yourself started playing, Bethan started dancing and showing off her curves.
She then reached for some food from a charcuterie board, smiling as she popped it in her mouth and doing a cheers to the camera with a wine glass.
The Geordie Shore legend then went for a dip in her bright pink bikini.
When sharing the video with fans, Bethan wrote: “Stop letting your insecurities stop you from experiencing life.
You don’t have to be skinny to have fun. You don’t have to be skinny to enjoy your body, you don’t have to be skinny to be happy.”
The reality star recently spoke about how she is a size 12 and has embraced her “cellulite and stretch marks” on social media.
Fans have praised her for her honesty, with one saying: “This energy & realness is what we need to see all over! You go girl.”
