FLEUR East looked sensational as she returned to work just three weeks after giving birth to her baby girl.
The X Factor star, 36, welcomed tot Nova in March after she went into labour in her living room.
Fleur later shared an adorable snap of her firstborn showing her full head of hair.
Now the Sax songstress has opened up on her “anxiety” and “mum guilt” after returning to the stage.
She took to her Instagram grid to post a picture showing her ready to perform, dazzling in a silver blazer adorned with pearls.
Fleur completed her look with semi-sheer tights and heeled boots.
Keeping her make-up fresh with a slick of black eyeliner and brunette hair in its Aftro style, the Strictly Come Dancing alumni looked set to give a show-stopper performance.
In her caption, she revealed the reason for her speedy return to work and put: “While I was still pregnant, I received a booking to perform at a gig.
“It was touch and go as to whether or not I would do it because it would be so soon after giving birth.
“I was anxious being without our baby girl for a bit and my body definitely doesn’t feel the same

“But this weekend, three weeks after having Nova, I decided I was ready to get back on stage and see how I get on.
“I was anxious being without our baby girl for a bit and my body definitely doesn’t feel the same, but surprisingly the energy took over.
“It felt amazing to perform with these incredible ladies who gave me good, positive vibes on stage.
“I was able to get out there, move my body, sing and do what I love and then get back to the little person I love with all my heart.
“I spoke to lots of you on my stories about Mum guilt and feeling anxious and it’s nice to know I’m not alone, we all experience it in some way, I’m told that it will get easier and a happy Mama means a happy bubba.”

“So grateful to God for this blessing. Our little Nova was born on the 22nd March and it feels like she’s always been here.”
