NADIA Sawalha gives a master class in body confidence as she shows the difference between an “insta versus real life” her.

The 55-year-old Loose Women panellist posted her “brilliantl­y honest” shots on Instagram after declaring: “Warning...woman showing cellulite.”

She told her 275,000 followers: “Honestly, all I did was change the lighting and the pose and look at the difference. All taken within minutes of each other! It’s all smoke and mirrors.”

Nadia, who has two daughters, said she was striving to be “more accepting of my beautiful warts and all body”. She posted: “It is what it is , and I love it for being in good health (fingers crossed) and for birthing my babies.

“I would do anything to have the years back that I wasted obsessing about my ‘flaws’ the only thing that was actually flawed was my ‘stinking thinking’.

“Dare to bare, girls! It feels so good.”

ROBBIE Williams was threatened with decapitati­on by bandits while on a charity expedition in Haiti.

The singer, 46, was lending a hand for Unicef with wife Ayda Field in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. He said: “I got threatened to be beheaded in Haiti. We were going out there to help. Looking back, it was scary.”

children, added on their Postcards from the Edge podcast, out today: “I was with you, I too was being threatened to be beheaded as well.”

Robbie and Ayda spent four days in Haiti recording a video for that year’s Soccer Aid tournament.

Unicef ambassador Robbie

has since credited the time he spent with children there with encouragin­g him to become a father.

He has said: “It’s awful what has happened. Working with kids has made me want to have them.”

When the 7.0 magnitude quake struck Haiti, the country was one of the poorest in the world, with 70% of the population below the poverty line.

More than 250,000 people died and 1.5 million lost their homes.

Robbie visited a camp city in Jacmel. He said at the time: “This earthquake hit children the hardest.

“They are so vulnerable and at risk of violence and abuse. I think this is wrong and we need to put it right.”
