MAFS star's surprising confession about ‘stunning’ bikini snap: ‘Feel sad’

Married at First Sight and OnlyFans star Jessika Power often portrays a picture of confidence as she flaunts her svelte figure in bikini and lingerie snaps on social media. But she has now shared a surprising truth behind her racy photos.

In her latest photo posted to Instagram, the 30-year-old is posing on the sand at a beach in a triangle olive-coloured bikini with a ruche detail.

She has completed the look with a pair of rectangle white-framed sunglasses and is leaning back next to a lifeguard board as she poses with her hand behind her head.

While the star has been praised for the "stunning" snap, she revealed in the caption it wasn't all as it seemed.

"I’ve asked about six people if this photo is OK to post on my feed because I was worried I’d be too 'skinny' or not 'toned enough' or 'trying too hard'," she wrote.

"Even though I loved the photo anyway ... I feel sad for me or for anyone that has to ask for approval."

She admitted while she may seem confident due to the snaps she shares on social media, she still has many insecurities.

"I’ve realised now that it’s okay … so long as you feel happy and confident with how you act then you should show and appear how you want to cause no matter who you are you’re beautiful and always believe in yourself," she said.
