LYDIA Bright is taking a break from social media after trolls attacked her for posting a bikini selfie just three months after giving birth.
The former Towie star welcomed daughter Loretta earlier this year and shared a photo of her trim figure in a grey bikini and dark shades as she grinned for the camera.
The reality star originally posted the photos to show off her new garden but it was met with mixed emotions.
And Lydia decided to take a step back. She posted: "Taking a day of Instagram today. Yesterday after posting on my feed it no longer became fun. Instead of feeling like I have to spend part of my day justifying and explaining myself to people. I am just going to stay away, I will be back tomorrow." [sic]
Lydia added: "Sorry if I offended anyone with my post, it really wasn't my intention."
Lydia ended up editing her caption to promote post-pregnancy body confidence.
She wrote: “I have choose to edit my caption after a few messages which aren’t necessarily negative, however I think it’s important to relay this message.
“All women should feel proud of there own bodies after having a baby, regardless of your shape and size.
“Some women for self esteem, confidence and mental health want to get back to exercising quickly after birth. Some women can’t due to labour, complications or sleep deprivation…
“We are all different but whatever decision you make and whatever body you have, always be proud of what you have done and love your body.”
Many of her fans and followers rallied around and complimented the star on her fabulous figure.
One wrote: “You look amazing and after a baby .. you go girl x”
“New mama here.. you are an inspo ?,” added a second.
And another gushed: “Can we just take a minute to appreciate the fact you have just had a baby and you look amazing”
It’s not the first time Lydia has faced criticism since welcoming her daughter back in February.
Lydia previously posed with a bottle of wine in her hand and wrote: "Yes to the weekend."
However, the drinking session got a little out of hand as the 30-year-old woke up feeling hungover the next day.
She wrote from her bed: "I didn't put covers on my bed last night. I'm drinking Coke at 5am. Don't judge."
The post left some followers concerned, with one writing: "It's just you and your baby… wise to be getting drunk is it."
Lydia later defended herself on Instagram Stories, saying: "After a year of no alcohol, due to being pregnant, I had my first glass of wine this week.
"Last night I had a couple of glasses. I wasn't drunk, falling over and Loretta was in bed.
"I have a small hangover, which is already lifting because clearly my body isn't used to alcohol after such a long time. Give a girl a break!"
