The Bachelor's Brittany Hockley exposes the TRUTH about her 'perfect' bikini photos

The Bachelor’s Brittany Hockley’s has exposed a clever trick used by Instagram models to change the appearance of their bodies. 

The 33-year-old, who is holidaying in The Bahamas with her tennis star beau Jordan Thompson, posted two juxtaposing photos of herself posing on a bed.  

In the first image, Britney is seen lying on her side, with her trim midriff exposed in a black crop top and short shorts. 

It’s all in the pose! The Bachelor’s Brittany Hockley’s uploaded two juxtaposing Instagram Story photos of herself posing in a crop top and shorts on this Wednesday. The first image, titled ‘Insta’ (pictured), showed the influencer lying on the side while showing off her flat stomach 

The brunette struck a smouldering expression as she lifted her arms up and stretched out her body seductively. 

‘Insta’, she simply captioned the image.  

She immediately posted a second photo taken moments later, which showed her sitting on the bed cross-legged with a half-eaten jar of Nutella in hand. 

Reality: Brittany immediately uploaded a second image of herself her sitting on the bed cross-legged with a half-eaten jar of Nutella in hand, and her natural stomach folds on display 

‘Reality’, she wrote, beaming into the lens as she proudly revealed her natural stomach folds.

The stunning reality star has spoken about her struggles with body image and eating disorders in the past. 

In 2019, a year after finding fame on The Bachelor, Brittany told her fans on Instagram that she once had an unhealthy and life-threatening relationship with food. 

Struggles: In 2019, a year after finding fame on The Bachelor, Brittany told her fans on Instagram that she once had an unhealthy and life-threatening relationship with food 

‘You know, I’ve always been into exercise and fitness. Since I could walk I’ve been doing all types of sport and at quite high levels (I was quite the tomboy to be honest),’ she said at the time. 

‘But I haven’t always been healthy and had a great relationship with food. When I was a teenager I used to be scared of eating anything bad.’

Brittany admitted she had a skewed idea about what was considered to be healthy and attractive, which culminated in her obsessing over food and exercise.

‘I had this idea that skinny meant healthy and that it was the only way to be ‘attractive’. I barely ate anything and worked out every day,’ she confessed. 

‘If I ate something ‘bad’ I’d literally put my joggers on and go for a run. On school camp, when we stopped at McDonald’s I used to get an apple. I used to lie to my parents about having eaten at a friends house.’

She said the turning point only came after she collapsed and needed to be rushed to hospital. 

Recovered: Brittany revealed she has since developed a much healthier and more balanced attitude towards food and exercise 

‘I did this until I had a seizure one day in front of my sister and woke up in hospital,’ she continued.

‘After that dad drove me home and we stopped at a burger shop where he bought me a burger and chips and told me I was so anaemic that he wanted to watch me and make sure I ate it. (Thanks dad – love you) So I did. And loved it.’

Brittany revealed she has since developed a much healthier and more balanced attitude towards food and exercise.
