HOLLYOAKS star Chelsee Healey has celebrated ‘beautiful, resilient women’ in her life as part of a new Instagram post.
In a brave and frank Instagram Stories post, Chelsee shared a make-up free selfie from Thursday day to discuss life isn’t as shiny as she makes it look on social media.
She then admitted her own personal struggles and how important it is to take credit for your achievements even when you’re feeling low.
In the photograph, she is seen sitting on her sofa in a grey hoody after clearly crying, with her eyes bloodshot and still filled with tears.
She wrote on the pic: “Happy International Women’s day… Women are strong, powerful and fighters. I’m proud of you all.”

“Some days we don’t know how we will get through but we do,” she wrote. “This was yesterday, I felt so overwhelmed with things I have going on. A newborn and my hormones are everywhere.
“Today I had a good day,” she added. “We always come through and above anything continue to be the best mummy’s for our babies.
“Women are power and I’m proud of all the beautiful and strong ladies in my life. While raising beautiful queens.”
Chelsee gave birth to her baby girl, who she’s named Cookie, at the end of December.
It’s her first child with her partner - Eddie - who she's been dating for nearly two years but keeps away from the public eye.
She also has daughter, Coco, from a previous relationship.
Chelsee, best known for playing the iconic Goldie McQueen in Hollyoaks, previously told Closer: "This is the most supportive relationship I've ever been in.
"My friends and family love him, and he's the first bloke I've introduced Coco to, which says a lot.
"I knew he was The One within three to four months. I've kissed a few frogs, but he's definitely marriage material."
Since then, the star managed to regain her flat stomach just a month after giving birth, and has impressed fans with her glam looks as she embraces life as a mum-of-two.

However, she’s sadly been forced to hit back at trolls after being inundated with cruel comments over her newest addition's name.
She later shared a snap with Cookie's face covered, and wrote: "After all the hate, messages and nasty comments on my daughters name I just don’t want to show the internet my Beautiful Cookie."
