Australian model Tegan Martin has opened up on Instagram about how lockdown has changed her perspective on her body, and she's been praised for it online. The erstwhile Miss Universe Australia took to the photo-sharing platform to share a snap of herself posing in a swimsuit by a swimming pool.

"I know that there are a lot of girls out there who feel insecure about cellulite and stretch marks (myself included), but what better time to put things into perspective. Amidst all the uncertainty we are facing its time to take stock of whats really important and the cellulite on our [bums] simply isn’t [sic]."

"I’m glad you talked yourself out of that nonsense (that we all seem to drill into ourselves). “You look amazing, you are amazing," wrote one Instagram user, while another corroborated "This is what true ‘influencing’ is – what a beautiful post. You are gorgeous."

"I was too fat for Next Top Model. They just said, like, they made out like I was ‘too commercial,'" she said. "I have always had curves like boobs and a bum … and that’s why when I lived in Paris I had to, like, starve myself to work,” she admitted. "It is disgraceful but lucky I am out of that patch now," Martin concluded.
