Mother-of-five Natasha Hamilton, 41, reveals brutal work out regime to get 's**t hot' after not recognising her postpartum body in the mirror - 11 weeks after giving birth
Natasha Hamilton has reflected on her relationship with her postpartum body 11 week after giving birth to her fifth baby, daughter Kitty Iris Gay.
The Atomic Kitten star, 41, has candidly told in a new interview how when she looks in the mirror every morning 'it doesn't feel like my body'.
She is now working out with a personal trainer twice a week and doing Peloton exercises in a bid to feel more 'comfortable' and 'confident' with herself.
She told new! magazine: 'Being 41 and looking at my body in the mirror every morning it doesn't feel like my body. When I look I'm like 'it's changed so much'.
'It's baby number five, plus it's my age. I've got to be realistic. My body will look different from now on. It's going to take time.

'My brain and my body argue regularly it has been a battle with my thoughts. I've had all the intentions of getting fit but all of a sudden I want to eat loads.'
She will be touring with Atomic Kitten bandmate Liz McClarnon in Norway next August and she has now told how she wants to be fighting fit for it.
The beauty said: 'I want to do my dances and it look s**t hot. I don't want to be a sweaty mess!'
In August she bravely showed off her postpartum body 12 days after giving birth to her 5th baby as she embraced her 'stretch marks, mummy pouch and thread veins.'
Standing in front of a full-length mirror, the pop star took a photograph to capture herself wearing just nude underwear.
Natasha accompanied her picture with a lengthy caption in which she insisted she was embracing her 'stretch marks, mummy pouch and thread veins.'
The singer admitted that she previously felt pressure to 'bounce back' after each child and has tried 'many diets' but this time is determined to have 'no scales, no diets and no pressure.'
Natasha wrote: 'Postpartum body post. This is the 1st picture I've taken of my body post baby. I didn't take it to compare to my old body, but because I am so proud of what my body has achieved over the years.

'I've just had my 5th baby at age 41. I've been through the mill with my body over the years and not always felt so proud of it. When I was younger, I feel like there was so much pressure to 'bounce back' after babies. To be a certain clothes size.
'I spent years with scales in my bathroom and weighing myself first thing in the morning to make sure the numbers were going down.
'I've tried many diets, I've tried to steer clear of the 'fads' and focus on exercise and clean living, which were always the 'diets' that worked best.
'It's common sense, but in order to feel your best, starving yourself isn't going to work! It's a slow but concerted effort over time that will give you the best results.
'So this time, there's no scales! No diets as I'm breastfeeding. There's no pressure. My approach is of love and giving thanks that my body has housed my baby and kept her safe for almost 9 months.
'I haven't figured out yet where I want to start on my fitness journey this time? Maybe Pilates? Peloton? (Once the stitches and everything is healed) Definitely baby yoga (yoga with your baby in the sling, looks fab).
'But whatever I do, I'm going to enjoy the process & embrace the new stretch marks, mummy pouch and thread veins all over my legs. This is the new me & I love her more than I ever thought I could.'
Natasha welcomed a baby girl, her first with her husband Charles Gay, on August 14, and announced the news to Instagram with a black and white snap of her spouse carrying the newborn home from hospital.
The singer, who previously shared her daughter's 'unusual' name, captioned her post: 'I cannot put in to words how we feel right now. Our family is complete. Kitty Iris Gay - 14/08/23.
'We couldn't be any happier. Welcome to the world baby girl.'

Natasha had previously shared her unique name for her fifth baby, but insisted it's not a nod to her former band, Atomic Kitten, telling OK!: 'We're going to call her Kitty Iris Gay.'
'Kitty has nothing to do with the band! My grandmother was Kitty and Charles's grandmother was Iris and we just loved those names together.'
Natasha is already a mother-of-four, sharing son Josh, 20, with her bodyguard ex Fran Cosgrave, Harry, 18, with actor Gavin Hatcher, Alfie, 12, with ex-husband Riad Erraji, and Ella, eight, with boyband star Ritchie Neville.
