Nadia opens up on body shaming

Nadia often takes to social media to promote body positivity.

However, she previously admitted she was once shamed for wearing a bikini as a size 14.

“Sadly this [bleeped] me up for years… to the point where I literally never ‘dared’ to go on the beach or by the pool again in a bikini again without a cover up on.”

Thankfully, Nadia revealed she finally has the confidence to wear a bikini again.

She added: “Thank god those days are well and truly in the past!”
