‘I find it so strange, but I’m a lot more confident about my body now after having a child than I was before’, the Lost hitmaker shared. ‘It’s weird, because before pregnancy I was skinny, I had no stretch marks and no lumps and bumps.
‘Roll on to now and I’ve got tiger stripes from my thighs all the way over to my bum and there’s nothing I can do about that, it is what it is. But I see them as my proud mum stripes. I grew a human. So what if there are a few lumps and bumps now?’
On transforming her appearance from her ‘tomboy’ days, the Want U Back hitmaker told The Sun: ‘Over the last few years I’ve thought: “Sod it, I don’t give a s**t what people want to call me or label me.” I will wear whatever I want to and what makes me feel comfortable.

‘I’ve learned as a mum that there is so much more to this life’: The musician also declared her ‘mum stripes’ are not going to stop her from ‘flaunting my stuff’
‘I’ve learned as a mum that there is so much more to this life than obsessing over my image. It’s not my number one priority any more. I don’t have time!’
The media personality confessed she felt ‘like I was thrown to the wolves’ during the early stages of ‘mentally damaging’ fame.
Recalling abuse from trolls, Cher, who had bottles of urine thrown at her during her 2012 V Festival performance, admitted she would ‘spend most nights crying in hotel rooms’.
The songstress credited her husband of six years, Craig Monk, for helping her ‘rise above’ the hate, and praised him for ‘bringing me happiness’ during the difficult times in her career.

Cher’s candid discussion came after she revealed her father Darren was recovering at home following his hospital admission for an undisclosed medical condition.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘Thank you all so much for your kind messages regarding my dad. He’s doing so much better. We’re so happy and relieved.
‘A massive thank you to the doctors and nurses who saved his life. Mum’s so happy to have dad home.’
The X Factor star previously said she feared for her dad’s health after he had been hospitalised twice during the coronavirus lockdown.
