Marnie Simpson has taken to Instagram to show off her stretch marks after giving birth to a baby boy just days ago.
The classic Geordie Shore star and former party girl welcomed her first child –a boy with boyfriend Casey Cody Johnson – last week, and proved she’s in no rush to get back into shape as she praised the "fascinating" female body and what it can do.
"Yes I’ve got some [stretchmarks], but it don’t matter I carried a life and that’s pretty worth it!" she wrote, alongside a picture of her bum.
"I feel like people are scared to talk about stretch marks but majority of women get them in pregnancy, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, they're marks from carrying your baby! And that’s awesome!"
