The media personality highlighted her abs as she teamed the item of clothing with a white crop top.

The mother-of-one had tried on the shorts during different times of the day, before penning: ‘Edit: this isn’t a before and after. These were taken on the same day and even really squeezing they don’t fit yet. 

‘Hopefully will post again when I fit into them…..Ok I’m 8 weeks down of my @dotheunthinkableuk plan, feeling fabulous and got just 4 weeks left.

Nadia first vowed it’s time to ‘get healthy’ in May, when she posted snaps of herself in underwear, displaying her postpartum frame.

The TV star declared she loves her body but wants to get back on track with fitness and health.

Speaking to MailOnline, single parent Nadia said: ‘I craved sugar during my pregnancy and nearly ended up with gestational diabetes but managed to get my eating under control and avoided it.

Before entering parenthood, Nadia, who announced her pregnancy late last year, also spoke about becoming a mum to OK! magazine

She previously said: ‘My March due date is fast approaching so I thought I would share my birthing plan.

‘Although I know 70-80 per cent of plans don’t go to plan, so I am fully prepared that it’s unlikely to be exactly like this.

‘Stay at home playing games, cooking and having a bath for as long as possible or until waters break or four contractions in 10 mins.’
