Meanwhile, Steph recently shared a message to body shamers telling her to ‘stop sharing photos of her abs because they set unrealistic standards’.  

In defiance she shared a photo of herself flaunting her toned abs, which she accompanied with a lengthy caption. 

‘I apologise if I ever offend anyone with these types of posts,’ she wrote.

‘But I am incredibly happy in my skin and I have always been one to confidently flaunt it. Call me cocky but I call it proud and happy.’

She continued: ‘Believe it or not, but my abs used to be an insecurity of mine in my younger years. I thought they always made me look like a boy and now I love how strong they make me look.’

Steph concluded by stating that she will always try to be honest with her Instagram followers, sharing body confident posts but also acknowledging the times when she is not feeling so good about herself.

Many of Steph’s fans rallied behind her, calling her an ‘inspiration’ and insisting she has nothing to apologise for.
