Taking to Instagram, Chloe posted a picture revealing how her body has apparently snapped back into shape two weeks after having her son – whose name is yet to be announced – with banker boyfriend Danny Flasher.

She wrote, “It’s just MAGICAL how you can grow a perfect little human inside of you... they arrive and it’s as if they have been here forever 👶🏼💙 #2weekspostpartum.

“Big thank you to @zerogravitypilates for helping my bod bounce back with all the training I did before and while pregnant .”

Fans were quick to comment on Chloe’s Instagram post, and they weren't all thrilled.

“She looks amazing, but it puts unwanted pressure on new mothers just trying to enjoy having a baby,” confessed one Instagrammer.

Amy Childs

She left the reality show after the second series, but Amy became the first TOWIE millionaire just a year later in 2012. In 2017, the 28-year-old welcomed daughter Polly with ex Bradley Wright, then gave birth to a son a year later with her boyfriend Ritchie. That same year, she was said to be worth £5m through her mummy and fashion ranges, eyelashes and perfumes.

Sam and Billie Faiers

Sisters Sam and Billie quit the show in 2014 and 2016 respectively and have gone on to launch their hugely successful ITVBe spin-off series The Mummy Diaries. Aside from their reality success, Sam – who is mum to Paul, three, and Rosie, one, with partner Paul Knightley; and Billie – who has Nelly, four, and Arthur, two, with husband Greg Shepherd – have made an estimated joint fortune of £7m through clothing brand collaborations and sponsored social media posts.

Ferne McCann

After leaving TOWIE in 2015, Ferne became a household name on I'm A Celeb!. She welcomed daughter Sunday in November 2017 as a single mum, after her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins was jailed for an acid attack. She gained an army of fans after documenting her emotional journey on her reality series First Time Mum. Ferne, 28, also has a clothing line with MissPap and a fitness DVD, and was said to have raked in almost half a million in 2017 alone.

In agreement, another poster commented, “I rarely comment on things like this as I’m genuinely happy for people who ‘bounce back’ – it took me a bit longer, but I got there.

“I feel sad for new mums in the trenches who see this and feel they don’t measure up or that they are failing because they don’t look like this in two weeks.

“And before the ‘it’s because she exercised and was in great shape before’ brigade pipe up, I’ve seen professional athletes in the gym with bodies significantly changed by childbirth.

“Genetics have a lot to answer for. Chloe looks great but it’s luck. And it’s a shame she feels the needs to post this at all under the thinly-veiled Pilates ‘shout out’.”

However, new mum Chloe also received lots of praise and support from fellow TOWIE stars, with Chloe Meadows saying she’s a “dream”, Courtney Green chiming in that she’s “perfect” and Lydia Bright stating that the 28-year-old looks “absolutely amazing” and is “new Mom goals".
