ARE HER POST-BABY ABS REALISTIC?

-

YES ‘All mums could look like this if they wanted to’ FITNESS EXPERT SIMONE GATELY, 35, FROM HALIFAX, HAS FIVE CHILDREN.

Simone says: “Cheryl looks absolutely incredible. She’s obviously worked hard to get back her pre-baby body and it’s paid off. It’s all about willpower and determinat­ion and, instead of being negative about Cheryl’s post-baby abs, we should be applauding her. I worked hard after each of my five pregnancie­s to make sure I stayed in shape. I worked and juggled childcare but always made time to exercise. There should be no excuse – all mums could look like Cheryl if they really wanted to. There are always going to be haters, but she needs to ignore the backlash. As long as Cheryl and her baby are happy, then it’s nothing to do with anyone else. People are just jealous, that’s all.”

No ‘Cheryl has disappoint­ed me’ WRITER SAMANTHA EARL, 39, FROM LONDON, HAS A TWO-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.

Samantha says: “I’ve always been a Cheryl fan. I’ve seen her in concert, watched her religiousl­y on lucky enough to meet her. She was just as lovely as I imagined her to be and really down-to-earth. But her post-baby comeback has left me feeling a little disappoint­ed. Every mother knows you don’t snap back to a size 6 after you’ve given birth and that it takes time to get back your figure – if at all! Cheryl has a lot of people who look up to her, so I’d rather see her out in the park doing Buggy Fit classes than looking super-polished on a luxury yacht. There are many celebrity mums sharing their motherhood struggles online and it would have been nice to see her posting something more relatable.”
