When Beau told the radio host that she looks just as good, Jackie responded: ‘Yeah, but not like them. They look amazing…. next level.
‘And when you go to [the] search [function] in Instagram and then they give you suggested posts… It’s always girls that are so amazingly beautiful with these little waists and big boobs and hot bodies and hot little booties.’

Having been open about her past struggles with binge eating disorder, Steph said that ‘it was important to share that because I don’t want girls to have unrealistic expectations.’
She continued: ‘I want to be a positive role model for the younger generation. I’ve gone through some really low points, but that’s how I’ve got to where I am today. There are good days and bad.’
‘I’m never going to be perfect and that’s OK because no-one is. I know I’m healthy and that makes me happy. Before a big shoot, I’ll train a little harder and change my diet to more of the 90/10 rule.’
