Love Island beauty Millie Court has revealed that she has continuously been forced to deny pregnancy rumours in recent weeks.
The 24-year-old reality TV star, who won the ITV2 competition with boyfriend Liam Reardon last year, took to Instagram to shut down rumours after fans have recently bombarded her with pregnancy questions.
The blonde beauty took to her Instagram stories to share a lengthy post as she encouraged her followers to never comment on a woman's body.
Millie confirmed that she wasn't pregnant - but insisted that she one day hopes to have children if she's 'lucky enough'.
After sharing a stunning make-up free snap, where she sported a billowing black dress, Millie revealed that she was sent numerous messages from eagle-eyed fans who couldn't help but ask her if she was expecting her first child.
Shutting down the speculation, Millie penned: "I've been getting a lot of these messages and comments recently..."
"NO, I am not pregnant although one day hopefully I will be and I'm sure it'll be one of the happiest days of my life but being a woman, especially in the public eye, I've now experienced what it's like to be absolutely torn apart by the way you look, dress, act etc and it can be hard on someone to be constantly judged."
Millie explained that she feels as though she's a strong woman when it comes to hurtful comments, but someone else, who might not be as tough, could end up broken by being 'torn apart' by such presumptuous comments.
The Love Island champion went on: "I personally feel like I am a very strong girl so those words don't often hurt me, and neither does this.
"Hence why I am trying my best to show everyone you are beautiful no matter way, without all the editing and filters.
"But if you have made this comment to someone, just think about how that someone could take that and it could potentially hurt. This is of course indicating that someone's put on weight and almost feels like a nicer way to say are you pregnant or are you just packing on the pounds?"
Millie went on to open up about her body insecurities as she admitted that she dropped two dresses before heading into the famous Love Island villa.
Although she was always happy and content with her amazing figure, Millie felt under pressure to hit the gym hard before appearing on the ITV2 dating show - and now that her adventure has ended, she has happily gone back to her previous weight.
"I've always been (before Love Island) fluctuating between a size 8 and 10, but most of the time a size 10. I was so happy with the way I looked, I didn't think twice about it," Millie explained.
"But before taking part in Love Island, she decided to hit the gym to shed some weight.
"On the weeks leading up to Love Island I felt the need to lose several pounds because I knew I was going to be surrounded by beautiful slim girls.
"I worked out every single day and ate salad for lunch and to tell you the truth I was miserable whilst doing it. I'd changed whilst I was on the show for several reasons that's probably for another story time.
"But I went from a size 10 to a 6, and it's the smallest I've ever been as a young adult.
"Because of my height, this made me look unhealthily skinny, of which I was (not eating barely anything, feeling ill all the time, tired, dizzy etc) and I remember looking at myself, I'd lost my boobs and my bum and those curves I once had and I MISSED them."
Millie went on to explain that she's now feeling back to herself and she couldn't be any happier.
"Anyway the point of this is, since coming out of Love Island, I've found my love for my food again and yes I'm getting back to my usual size. But I love being this way and I just want you all to know that if you love your body and the way that you are, then that is THE most important thing.
"We're all different shapes and sizes, each size perfect in our own way. But please don't get stuck to the beauty standard of 'perfection'.
"Don't feel the pressure to need to be like some of the models we see on the runway because I know being in this job and in the limelight, those pressures are extremely heightened. And today I'm letting go of that pressure and telling you all I am perfectly happy the way I am."
Following her inspirational admission, Millie has been widely praised by fans for her honesty.
The Essex native shot to fame on Love Island last summer and ended up winning the show with Scottish beau, Liam.
