‘It’s legit so hard, like it’s so uncomfortable and it’s been like this for about three weeks now. I’m over it, so over it.’
In a follow-up post, she wrote: ‘I still worked out this morning even though I did not feel like it at all.
‘With my stomach being so bloated, I find it so hard to find energy to work out and even just to wake up in the morning.
‘Even though going to the gym does not help my stomach size, it does help my mind and when I leave any type of workout I feel better within myself.
‘So get up, go for a workout or even a walk – anything is better than nothing.’

Last month, Simone took to Instagram to describe her experience of PCOS, which she reminded her followers is ‘a lot more common than we actually think.’
‘Not only do I get bloated every single day, I also get really bad cramping, it makes me feel bigger than I actually am, it affects my mood and I don’t get my period for months at a time,’ she wrote.
‘It makes me slightly insecure and most of all it can affect me mentally.’
Simone rose to fame on The Bachelor in 2017, before later appearing on Bachelor In Paradise
