Always glamorous new mother of twins, Rebecca Judd, thought she was just posting a comment on social media.
But just five days after giving birth to her twins, Tom and Darcy, the presenter has come under fire for making comments about her body.
Rebecca had posted an image of herself cradling baby Tom alongside the caption: “Feeling semi human today, not wearing activewear or maternity clothes! Hello spring wardrobe (and 50 pairs of Spanx).”
And while some mothers were supportive and related to her, the 33-year-old was told by others that she sets unrealistic expectations for new mums by wearing body-shaping garments.
This is the photo that whipped up the storm.
Chris and Bec are on cloud nine with their new family members.
“It’s disheartening to see,” one follower commented. “Take off the Spanx and relax, helps other women feel less pressure about being out of maternity wear.”
But some quickly jumped to her defence, suggesting the shapewear could be for a medical reason.

Poor Bec was also criticised for being “too thin” before she gave birth.
“She is probably wearing Spanx for support after her skin has stretched so much from being pregnant with twins nothing to do with beauty,” one user pointed out.
Rebecca also faced criticism leading up to the birth, where fans were quick to tell the slender beauty that she was too thin before giving birth.
But the stunning star insists she has always been naturally petite.
“‘I don’t try to look the way I do, I just do,” she told Kate Waterhouse earlier in the year.
“Believe me, nobody has the energy to grow four big, bouncing babies, work a gazillion jobs, run businesses, a household and a family on an empty stomach.”
