Taking to Instagram, the mother-of-three showcased her amazing figure in a new post to her story.

She captioned the update: “Bikini days.”

Earlier this year, Jennifer opened up about her weight gain after becoming a mother.

She gained weight due to sugar addiction, but it led to Jennifer receiving cruel jibes online.

She told the Daily Mail: “Being a mum turned my world upside down.

“Everything revolved around the boys. I came last in the pecking order.

“I think any woman who says they’re not bothered [about their body] is lying.”

Prior to featuring on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2022, Jennifer had reached 14 stone – but lost three stone afterwards.

She said this experience revitalised her confidence and relationship with exercise.

Jennifer added to the Mail: “I just thought, “Let’s just go and do it, and put myself in these awful situations because it’s a job, and it’s getting me back on telly.

“I started to love myself again.”
