And to coincide with Eating Disorders Awareness Week, the mum of two has spoken again about the battle to overcome the anorexia that led to her being little more than skin and bone.

Sharing two throwback snaps to her Instagram account, Nic wrote: ‘I went from left to right with a lot of hard work and hard times #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek.’

In the first set of photos, Nic can be seen, emaciated and with her bones almost poking through her skin.

Despite her obvious eating disorder, the former glamour model is still smiling to photographers as she exits the ocean.

But in a parallel snap posted from 2014, Nic looks to have well and truly beaten her body demons, posing in a vest top and pants and looking healthy and glowing.

Following up her post with another on Wednesday morning, Nic shared an image of her and her beautiful baby bump, followed by her six months later - looking emaciated and stick thin once more.

‘I went from left to right in 6 months! Eating disorders can be fatal let’s support #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek.’

After Nicola's marriage broke down over the summer, many feared that she would go back to her eating disorder days and start starving herself or being sick after meals. But the star expressed how proud she was for continuing to eat despite her heartbreak.

Keep up the good work Nic, you look fantastic!
