ARABELLA Chi had to pause posting about her new baby to hit back at trolls who sent her horrible messages about her post-baby body.
The 34-year-old gave birth to daughter Gigi Harper Henty on May 20, and has been showing her toned body in recent days.
Arabella argued she was showing her "15 days post partum" so that others might be inspired to train during their pregnancy.
"Unfortunately I fell like I need to address this but after the story I put up yesterday... I have received some really really really nasty messages from people (as well as some lovely ones)," Arabella began in an Instagram story.
She posted the message in white text over a black background and explained she uses her "platform to share my life with my followers."
"I showed you all how hard I trained throughout my pregnancy for not just my physical appearance but my mental state as training has always been a positive part of my life," Arabella wrote.
"I was amazed that my body did bounce back as quickly as it did and I am proud of myself."
The Love Island alum argued that she didn't post her body pic "to be insensitive to people that might not 'bounce back' as quickly but to share I was proud that all that training I had done had paid off and to inspire other people that if you train safely throughout your pregnancy it does make a difference."
Arabella concluded by writing: "Don't get me wrong, post partum isn't always glamorous, most days I'm covered in sick, milk, blood or poo. But it's also nice to share the small wins on here."
Her followup Instagram story showed Arabella cuddling up with Gigi, "after a very exciting shoot."
Arabella revealed last month that she and boyfriend Billy Henty had welcomed a baby girl.
Alongside a photo of their new arrival, Arabella wrote: "Our worlds are complete.
"Gigi Harper Henty, 20/05/2025, 6.2 lbs."
Arabella first shot to fame on series five of Love Island in 2019.
She returned to the show for the first series of the All Stars spin-off in 2024.
The Sun revealed Arabella and Billy's relationship in September last year.
A month later the couple made their first red carpet appearance as they attended a film premiere in London.
