No new mum looks like this. It's all fake... admits Jodi Albert as she lashes celeb mothers who starve to lose their baby weight
Posing in sexy patterned stockings and the shortest of short tops, Jodi Albert looked as glamorous ? and as svelte ? as she ever had. Amazingly, the glamorous shoot ? for the portfolio of an up-and-coming fashion photographer friend ? came less than three months after she gave birth to her first baby, son Koa. The online reaction after she tweeted the pictures was phenomenal. Most responses were congratulatory but the undercurrent of envy and, occasionally, despair was impossible to miss. It is this undercurrent, perhaps, that has prompted the actress and singer into a guilty confession. Family: Jodi Albert, with husband Kian Egan and baby son Koa For today, Jodi reveals that the glamorous images were ?not real? ? and insists ?edited? pictures set a false standard that ordinary women cannot possibly live up to. Those celebrities who really do lose weight instantly are ?barely eating? while exercising ?like lunatics?, Jodi says ? and setting an unhealthy and disheartening example. In an exclusive interview with the Irish Mail on Sunday, the former Hollyoaks star says she is determined to tell other mothers that celebrities struggle with losing baby weight too and confesses the pictures of her were ?not reality?. ?I did a fashion photoshoot for a friend and basically she put the pictures on Twitter and they got a bit of a reaction,? she says. ?One of the papers picked up on it, saying that I was winning the fight against the baby bulge. ?But I don?t want women to get disheartened: the shoot was fun but it wasn?t reality. I don?t wake up every morning looking skinny. As someone who has always been honest, I felt like I really had to let them know that I am struggling. It is hard.? Jodi, pictured shortly after giving birth, reveals that the glamorous images were 'not real' - and insists 'edited' pictures set a false standard that ordinary women cannot possibly live up to' The 28-year-old wife of Westlife?s Kian Egan says another recent spread in OK! magazine also made her look unrealistically glamorous. Jodi is seen cuddling up to Kian and baby Koa ? and the new mother looks flawless. She refuses to say which images are airbrushed ? and which are just cleverly lit or angled. ?Let?s say the photographer is very clever; he can change things and he knows what he?s doing,? she said. ?I appreciate that photography flatters sometimes because I have lots of lumps and bumps ? but at the same time, I want to be honest about it to women,? she adds. The actress admits that she has been heavily airbrushed throughout most of her career, saying that she didn?t even recognise herself when she graced the cover of men?s magazine Maxim. ?Most of my pictures have been airbrushed. When I was in Hollyoaks, I didn?t even know what airbrushing was. I started doing these photo shoots for Maxim and I would look at myself and I would think, ?Oh, I look very different. Why do I look so weird?? ?And it was because the photographer airbrushed the s*** out of me. I didn?t even recognise myself any more,? she says. The performer ? who was also a member of now-defunct girl group Wonderland, co-managed by Voice mentor Kian ? was quick to point out that she is not like many other celebrity mothers. She said influential women like Victoria Beckham were starving themselves to lose their baby weight.
