Gemma Atkinson was praised by fans for showing the realities of doing glam photoshoots.
The former Hollyoaks star took to social media to share a throwback photo from one of her shoots and even shared the behind the scenes.
In the first snap, Gemma took a picture of the finalised shot of her in a black cardigan dress in front of a white backdrop.
She had her hands clutching onto her oversized cardigan as she smiled for the camera.
The second snap was from behind-the-scenes and everything down to her knees looked completely normal.
However, she was still wearing jeans on the bottom half of her legs only as she was cold.
"#TB Photoshoot reality… “are you seeing my full leg?” No. “Fab, shoot like this then it’s freezing”," she captioned the hilarious post.
"I have a busy run of shoots coming soon for all the promo for my 2nd book!
"I’ll take you on them with me & show you the reality of an Amazing makeup artist, good lighting & great photographers and remind everyone that without them, I’m a tired ass mum who needs help on the daily."
Fans were impressed at the reality of professional photos being taken and rushed to the comment section to praise Gemma.
"And this is why we love you," one user complimented her while another said: "Love that you keep it real well done for your honesty. Xxxx."
One follower posted: "Thank you for keeping it real."
"What an honest post, well done miss," one user added with clapping emojis while one said: "Love it, keeping it real."
The actress, who is dating Gorka Marquez, recently uploaded an inspiring post about the BRIT Awards red carpet.
She attended the awards ceremony last week and turned heads in a glittering gown.

But Gemma revealed the truth behind walking a red carpet and just how intimidating it can be for celebrities from all walks of showbiz.
Alongside some images from the night, the former Hollyoaks star wrote: "Red carpets! I used to get SO nervous walking them and cringe inside knowing that despite what you wear, how you stand or who you are, people will still msg you directly or comment on articles saying how bad they think you look.
"I don’t know if it’s an age thing, being a mum now or just a combination of taking care of myself but I now don’t let any of the above bother me and it’s such a refreshing space to be in! Giving a stranger the power to affect your mood is soul-destroying and a complete waste of your time.
"Especially a stranger who’s sat alone on the internet. Don’t do it. Know your worth, know who you are and rock what you wana rock! Shape, size, whatever, just do you! I actually spoke to an actress last night who is and looked beautiful, she was joking that tomorrow she’ll either be “too fat” or “too thin” in her dress, she then followed it with, “I just smile to myself, and think, oh just f**k off”."
