Sophie told fans that despite 'feeling awful' about her body image for months, she'd finally let go of her insecurities this week as she flaunted her 'belly rolls'.
Writing to fans, she said: "I am SO proud of myself! I have been feeling so awful (as you know) for MONTHS now and I just felt like the only thing I’ve been focusing on is my body image… it’s been exhausting and depressing to say the least.
"I took these photos and instantly felt pure JOY – while taking them AND looking at them after (progress for me) I just wanted to shared these moments with you because I want you to know that happiness in your body is possible if you allow yourself life experiences."
She added: "I think by not stepping outside our comfort zones it can make us feel more self doubt. We all deserve to let the belly rolls free!
"I was able to feel confident enough to wear the string bikini, take myself on an excursion with @virginvoyages and play mermaids all day and NOT think about my bloomin’ body!!! I’m passing the torch onto YOU to do something that scares you (in a good way). We got this queens."
Sophie was seen smiling happily in the pictures as she placed her hand on her stomach and then run her fingers through her hair.
Fans were loving her display of self-love, with the post racking up more than 4,000 likes.
