Ashy Bines found fame online when she launched her bikini body challenge and booty challenge four years ago, and now has a fan base of 2.4 million people on Facebook and Instagram.
But the followers don't appear to be all fans off the bubbly blonde, as she has revealed that she has been recieving intense backlash for her post-baby body.
Ashy documented her pregnancy and post-pregnancy body on social media and as a result has faced horrible backlash from fellow women.
Speaking to Sunday Night, she said she was inidated with hate about her decision to continue exercising and dieting when she was pregnant.
"I had one comment which really hurt which said I didn't deserve to be a mother because I was killing him because my baby was small, my belly was small.
“The other one said they hope that he has Down Syndrome, another one says they hope I have a still-birth because I don't deserve to have him.
“I am a better mum when I am active, a better mum when I start my day with a walk because I am out in the fresh air, I have got those endorphins and I feel good and he feels that.”
Ashy said she isn't going to let her happiness suffer just because some people don't approve:
"Maybe some mums are feeling guilty for not being active or not eating healthy... People always have to find someone to blame instead of taking responsibility.
Ashy says her passion is to help women feel good about themselves, saying that people need to accept they are different shapes and sizes and just accept who they are.
