MAFS bride praised for showing off ‘real body’ as she strips to her knickers to showcase ‘stretch marks and cellulite
A MARRIED At First Sight bride has been praised for showing off her ‘real body’ as she stripped down to knickers to showcase her stretch marks and cellulite.
Adrienne Naylor, 27, took to Instagram to share an unfiltered video in a bid stop her followers from comparing themselves to airbrushed Instagram snaps.
In the video, Adrienne showed a clip of herself working out in the gym, followed by another clip where she slipped into her undergarments to show a close-up of her skin.
She said: “I train 5/6 times a week, and I still have skin texture, it’s normal.”
Adrienne followed this with a caption that read: “Yes I have stretch marks, yes I have cellulite, yes I have shaving rashes which pretty much every person has.
“My cellulite is something which has always bothered me, I look at others and admire their body’s without or very little cellulite and think I’d be happy if I looked like that.
“But the reality is, even if I did look like that, I’d still find something to pick at. We live in this world where all we see is perfection online but when we take a look around, how many people do we see actually look like what we see online?”
“I’m starting to realise that that human body is capable of amazing things, I’ve recently ran my first 10k, hit PB’s in the gym and hiking until my legs feel like they’re going to fall off.
“This is a very vulnerable post but I want our page to be a safe space, a normal space! A friend you feel like you can turn to in social media full of perfection.
“There’s been TOO many times I’ve been so in my head to create a memory or live in the moment. Our bodies are the shell we live in, let’s make it a safe & happy space.”
Fans flocked to the comments after seeing Adrienne’s uplifting post.
One user commented: “You are beautiful and brave and should be proud of yourself for this post and helping others x.”
Whilst another added: “So easy for people to show only the ‘good’ aspects but keeping it real is what matters most,” with a praising hands emoji.
“Love this realness. Well done,” penned a third.
Adrienne, who has been documenting her fitness journey from the start, lost an incredible eight stone before her stint on MAFS.
The star enjoyed a brief marriage to hunky Matt Pilmoor, 29, before their differences separated them.
Matt wanted to have children and start a family but Adrienne didn’t.
Adrienne also accused Matt of not making much effort after the show had stopped filming.
Matt has moved on and began dating co-star Shona Manderson who was previously married to Brad Skelly on the show.
