Loose Women presenter Nadia Sawalha has been applauded after sharing a 'relatable' video on social media of her trying to fit into her skinny jeans.
The 59-year-old stripped down to her bra as she attempted to squeeze into the tight-fitting garment following the classic Christmas tradition of too much eating and drinking.
She created the "honest" clip in response to a video of a slim model fastening her jeans and then relaxing into a chair. The presenter then showed the "reality" and struggle that actually comes along with fastening skinny jeans, the Mirror reports.
Sharing the video on her Instagram, she captioned it: "Relate?" alongside laughing emojis with the hashtag "riots not diets".
The post was soon flooded with comments praising the presenter for showing the "real" side of an overindulgent Christmas period from some fellow celebs.
Loose Women co-star Katie Piper wrote: "All of us right now".
Married At First Sight UK star Chanita Stephenson added: " I love these!!"
And Nadia's fans were also appreciative of the video, happy to be seeing representation of themselves and their own body types.
One fan wrote: "Brilliant - thank you Nadia for representing us normal girls. Happy New Year to you all."
Another said: "I daren't even attempt to put my jeans on now! People that wear jeans in between Crimbo and New Year are bonkers (and don't inhale Quality Street and wine throughout the day, unlike me)."
And a third added: "Totally relate and not just Christmas all year round."
Nadia often posts pictures and videos advocating positive body image on social media, aiming giving her followers confidence about their own appearances.
Before Christmas she tickled fans as she stripped down to her nude underwear in another candid Instagram post.
She captioned the snap: " "Eat your hearts out influencers of the world I’m just so damn good at this !
"Seamlessly. Transitioning from big pants and saggy bra girl to full on party girl ! Woo hoo!"
The presenter has also recently opened up about being diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
On Loose Women, Nadia recorded a segment discussing her diagnosis after finding out she had been living with the condition since childhood and had never known about it.
The honest segment has been met with praise and admiration for the star for opening up about her symptoms of inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness.
