"Looking a bit like melted ice cream!": Alex Jones shares struggle to snap back into shape after giving birth

Alex Jones has spoken out about her struggle to 'ping
back into shape' following the birth of her baby Teddy
who she welcomed at the start of the year.
After becoming a mum for the first time at the age of
39, the One Show presenter said she returned to work
to find none of her clothes fitted and nothing she tried
on looked the same anymore.
"Your bone structure and shape changes too and no
amount of dieting will fix that," she told OK!
magazine.

Alex's words are a stark contrast to the usual pics of
celeb mums who appear to have no trouble returning
to their pre-baby figures in record-timing.
Despite having personal trainers, dietitians and chefs
on speed dial, Alex said the envy-inducing pics of
celeb mums could be the result of a lot of smoke and
mirrors.
"In a lot of those photos, there's a lot of Spanx and
dark colours," she said.
"Underneath we're all looking a bit like a melted ice
cream," Alex joked.
Alex's words come after fellow mum Kimblerley Walsh
said she was sick of seeing celebs regaining their pre-
pregnancy figures so quickly.
Kimberley, 35, who has sons Bobby, three, and Cole,
10 months, said in a recent interview: "It always takes
me a bit of time."
She added that it 'made her sick' to see her friends
'snap back into shape.'
While she didn't mention any names, Kimberley's
words could have easily been applied to her former
Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl, 34.
After staying well out of the limelight following the
birth of son Bear, Cheryl shocked fans when she made
a return six months later flaunting incredible
washboard abs.
While attending a charity football match with pal
Nicola Roberts, Cheryl keenly showed off the results
of all her hard work in a revealing white croptop.
According to rumours, Cheryl enlisted the help of a
boxing trainer to get her back into shape - and the
strenuous workouts clearly did the trick.
While reality TV star Danielle Lloyd also shocked fans
with her remarkable post-pregnancy transformation.
Danielle, 33, had her fans in disbelief when she shared
a snap of her super-taut tum to her Instagram page -
just one week after giving birth to her fourth son.
After breaking the internet with news of her
pregnancy , Beyonce, 36, wasted no time in getting
back to her usual glamorous self after giving birth to
not one but two babies in July.
Since welcoming twins Rumi and Sir, Beyonce has
been pictured enjoying a string of romantic date-
nights with husband Jay-Z - for which she's slipped
into an array of figure hugging outfits.
Most recently the now mum-of-three attended a
showbiz bash for Tidal wearing a stunning green gown
that highlighted her amazingly trim waist.
And the celeb mums praised
for 'keeping it real'
Mums everywhere know the struggle of trying to get
back into your pre-baby jeans.
And Dawn O'Porter was showered with praise last
month after showing the reality of just how difficult
that can be.
The UK star, who is married to Irish funnyman Chris
O'Dowd , posted a picture standing in her unzipped
jeans alongside the caption, "#wishfulthinking".
While fellow mum Rebekah Vardy was heaped with
praise from fans after sharing pictures of her
changing body over a three-year period.
The 35-year-old WAG, who welcomed her second child
with Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy earlier this
year, took to social media to highlight just how easy
it is for your weight to fluctuate.
She wrote: "All of these pictures were taken within
just over a year of one another. It's amazing how
many changes the female body can go through."
She finished: "We are who we are."
