She recently revealed she and husband Hugo Taylor are ‘remaining positive’ in the wake of their three-month-old daughter Sienna being diagnosed with hip dysplasia.

And new mum Millie Mackintosh showed off her post-baby body in a sports bra and skin-tight leggings as she shared an Instagram vs reality video, on Saturday afternoon.

The ex Made In Chelsea star, 31, began by posing front-on in the navy blue set, putting on a busty display with her hand on her hip, while holding her phone camera high-to-low.

Millie then turned to the side to show that from the front she’d looked svelte but then side-on her tummy appeared fuller. 

The reality star wrote over the video: ‘Instagram vs reality! Wearing new @varley,’ and finished the video off by dancing around. 

Last week, Millie took to Instagram to upload a sweet snap of herself cradling her baby girl as she wore her harness and said Sienna is back to her ‘usually smiley self’.

Declaring she and husband Hugo, are ‘remaining positive’, the star said she’s ‘delighted’ her little one has managed to ‘adapt really quickly’ and expressed her gratitude towards fans who have shared helpful advice.

‘Everyone kept reassuring me that babies adapt really quickly, and although for the first few days she was very unsettled, she’s now back to her usually smiley self and she’s even started to find her voice. 

‘She coos, sings and shouts all day long which is such a delight to hear! We’ve been told we can remove the harness to do some tummy time and give her a bath every evening and It’s the best part of my day!’

The media personality, who previously revealed full recovery for Sienna is ‘very likely’, added that while she’s unaware of how long the tot will have to be in a brace, she and the sunglasses entrepreneur are content with her progress.

She explained: ‘We aren’t sure yet how much longer she’ll have to wear her harness, but we’re remaining positive and we’ve been so overwhelmed by all your lovely messages and comments. 

‘I wanted to send a big thank you to everyone that shared their stories with me, it’s made it all much easier to deal with as I had no idea this condition affected so many people. 

Millie and Hugo welcomed their first child together in May, just over two years after they tied the knot at Whithurst Park in West Sussex.

WHAT IS DEVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA OF THE HIP?

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) occurs when the ball and socket joint does not form properly in babies and young children.

The hip joint connects the thigh bone, or femur, to the pelvis. The top of the femur is ball shaped and sits inside the cup-shaped hip socket.

In DDH, the hip socket is too shallow and the femoral head is not held tightly in place. This causes the hip joint to be loose. In severe cases, it can dislocate.

DDH can affect one or both hips. It is more common in the left hip, as well as in girls and firstborn children.

One or two in every 1,000 babies have DDH that requires treatment.

This may include a fabric splint, called a Pavlik harness, which secures the hips in a stable position so they can grow normally.

If this does not work, or the child is over six months at the time of diagnosis, surgery may be required to place the ball of the femur in the hip socket. 

Left untreated, DDH can cause patients to develop a limp, hip pain or oestoarthritis.
