Nadine Mulkerrin’s postpartum "recovery" has been "tough".
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress says her breasts look "slightly Pamela Anderson-esque" since giving birth to son Reggie last week, and her fiance and co-star Rory Douglas-Speed (Joel Dexter) has had to "put suppositories in mysterious places".
Nadine – who plays Cleo McQueen on the Channel 4 soap – shared a naked picture of herself, and she added the caption on Instagram: "1 Week Postpartum! Was thinking should I really post a pic of my bare ass on insta … Then I thought bugger it!! The recovery is tough, the tears have lifted, my t**s are big brown aggressive and slightly Pamela Anderson-esque but you can’t do anything fun with them!
"Between getting your partner to inject you and put suppositories in mysterious places it’s been a barrel of laughs! It’s the best rollercoaster I’ve ever been on I don’t wanna get off!
"All mummies your amazing!! It’s true it’s all worth it (sic)"
Rory recently admitted he has never been so tired after becoming a dad – but says it is "all worth it".
He shared a selfie with Reggie, and wrote: "Never had such big bags under my eyes, but it’s all worth it! #prouddadspam (sic)"
Nadine wrote: "Oh Jesus I actually can’t cope"
The 26-year-old actress recently questioned whether it was "normal behaviour" to want to nibble young Reggie’s toes.
She joked: "Sometimes I just get his toes out for no reason and nibble them.
Is this normal behaviour? (sic)"
Her co-star Jennifer Metcalfe (Mercedes McQueen) wrote: "100 percent normal .. new normal! (sic)"
