And shelliee.x exclaimed: "She is never 71!!!! Wow!"
Charlotte reportedly lost four stone after she was warned that her diet risked her developing type two diabetes, the same condition battled by her national treasure dad who passed away when she was a baby.
In January she said: "I’ve never felt more happier healthier and confident."
She was diagnosed with gestational diabetes when she was pregnant with Noah, a common condition that affects one in 20 pregnant women.
She believed the condition was just part of her pregnancy and returned to her usual diet including her favourite chips and gravy after giving birth in January.
But Charlotte was told to clean up her diet during a trip to the doctor after she felt 'a bit funny.'
She said previously: "I started this fitness journey with the goal of avoiding type two diabetes because I had gestational diabetes and was warned I was still in danger after Noah was born.”
She added: "My dad had it and died when I was just eight-months-old, so it really was a wake-up call to start getting fit."
Type two diabetes is a condition that causes the level of sugar in the blood to become too high and can lead to stroke, blindness, heart disease, kidney failure, limb amputation and early death.
The former Ex On The Beach star is known for her down-to-earth and body confident Instagram posts.
And she was hailed as an inspiration as she embraced her "postpartum jelly belly and tiger stripes" after giving birth.
