Love Island's Alexandra Cane shared a candid snap of her swollen tummy to show the effects of stress on her body.
The reality star confided in her fans she was battling inflammation as a response to stress, anxiety and worry in a honest post on Instagram on Wednesday.
In the accompanying snap, the Love Island bombshell posed in a crop top and matching shorts.
Alexandra urged to her followers she was doing the best to "love, honour, respect & nourish" her body.
Her powerful message about loving yourself went out to her 1.4million Instagram followers.
The TV personality also reassured her empire of fans she wasn't expecting a baby but just suffering with inflammation.
She wrote: "Hi from me & my stressed lil tum tum.
"I promise to love, honour, respect & nourish you in the best way that I can through this time. I understand that it is going through an inflammatory response due to stress, anxiety & worry, but whatever you need, I will provide. (Plus I think you look kinda cute even if you are painful as hell) & no I’m not expecting a bubba.
"I accept you & love you in every way you present yourself. You are perfect as you are & to those reading this, so are you.
"Whatever your body needs to get through these weird times, just honour it. Show it compassion. Give it alllll the love it deserves." (sic)
Alexandra shot to fame on a recent series of the summer Love Island.
She burst onto the scene late but she already had her eye on Dr Alex George before she headed into the villa.
Instantly the couple hit it off but Alex called time on their romance just days before the finale.
Prior to Love Island, Alexandra worked as a makeup artist.
However, the show gave her the springboard to develop herself as a social media influencer.
Alexandra has done stints of modelling and she's created her own fitness plan after getting into great shape.
