Instagram star Tammy Hembrow has shared one of her body flaws in a new video — except not everyone is convinced by her claim.
The 24-year-old, who rose to fame after documenting her post-pregnancy body transformation on Instagram, shared a video on her Tammy Fit account revealing that despite her famous figure she still has "loose skin".
The video shows Hembrow posing for the camera in a cropped tank top and G-string which shows off her abs and toned legs before she grabs the skin on her stomach.
"Yes, I've got loose skin on my stomach. It's just a reminder of my two babies and how incredible the human body is," she wrote in the caption.
However, it didn't stop Hembrow's followers from still praising the star, pointing out it made a nice change from the polished images usually seen on Instagram.
"Thank you for sharing. It's nice to know everyone has it even really fit people," one person wrote, while another added: "If I look this good after kids I will be one happy mumma."
Others praised her for "keeping it real" and being "honest" with fans.
Besides her Instagram following Hembrow has her own exercise app, Tammy Fit, as well as clothing line Saski Collection.
The Gold Coast-based star went to the United States earlier this month to launch her brand at New York Fashion Week, stepping out in a very revealing white dress.
Speaking on her podcast Hanging With The Hembrows, Hembrow revealed the racy design meant she couldn't wear underwear — and she had to be very careful.
"Yeah, I was wearing no underwear," Hembrow said. "And it was also very windy. So when we went outside, I had to literally hold the dress."
Hembrow is a big fan of the skimpy bikini and last year launched her label Saski Collection's first bikini line, Saski Swim.

Speaking to news.com.au at the time, Hembrow said she was a fan of the revealing swimwear design and having her first swimwear line reflect her personal style was a "no-brainer".
"To be honest, I've been really confident in my body the last couple of years particularly because I've really worked hard on it," she said. "For the first one I really wanted to make it very me."
But wearing the revealing styles hasn't been without its critics, with Hembrow revealing she often cops hate for her skimpy looks.
"Definitely, I think there will always be people that will make comments and say you're a mum, you shouldn't be wearing something like that," she said.
"But everybody is entitled to their opinion. I'm not going to stop being me or catering to my audience of girls because of that divisive opinion."
Hembrow was also happy to answer one of the biggest questions that gets asked about skimpy bikinis – can you actually swim in them?
"You can definitely swim in it, I've made sure that it covers the right areas," she said with a laugh.
"We're looking at bringing out some more styles in the future as we expand the bikini line, but I love that look personally and they are wearable."
