Catherine, 35, wrote: “Seriously?! Wtf? I’m NOT pregnant…but my tummy appears to have gone completely MENTAL.”
The mum-of-one, who added crying emojis to her post, then tagged former TOWIE star and good friend Lucy Mecklenburgh in the picture.
Just 24 hours earlier, Lucy – who is in a relationship with Ryan Thomas – also admitted to fans that she has been suffering from secret bloating for the past 10 years.
Following her honest post, Catherine had reached out in support and commented: “I’m the same momma… it’s awful. Well done for sharing.”
Adding to her picture of her own bloated stomach, Catherine has now joked: “@lucymeck1… something in the water babes?! Literally?!”
Lucy, 27, spoke out after receiving hundreds of messages from followers about her tummy condition.
She had previously posted a video of her bloated stomach on Instagram and fans were really impressed with her honesty.
Lucy said: “Two days ago I posted a video on my story of my tummy bloated.
“I had 100s of DMs in minutes which really shocked me! This is something many of us clearly have to deal with!!
“And I’m frustrated with myself I haven’t been more open & honest about it in the past but the main reason maybe is that it felt embarrassing!!

The star, who runs her own fitness business, added: “I’ve never shared it with anyone maybe because i thought it looks bad as I have a health and fitness business and it didn’t make me a good advert for my business..
“But actually I really wish I had as it doesn’t make me unfit or unhealthy it MAKES ME HUMAN!”
Lucy also said she has kept a food diary over the years to work out her ‘triggers’ and has “promised” to be more open with fans in future.
