‘But I stopped, smiled at remembering how happy I was on this holiday, chucked my fave filter on and pushed post instead,’ she added. 

Tegan previously revealed that she missed out on modelling opportunities for having too lean of a physique.

She told The Daily Telegraph last month: ‘I’ve even had experiences where the reason that I missed out on a job was because I wasn’t curvy enough.

‘But I love these moments because they teach you that you will never be everyone’s cup of tea and that is okay,’ she added.  

Tegan said that while she has ‘felt pressure to be a certain size’, there is now a body positivity movement in the once notoriously stick-thin fashion industry. 

‘The industry has changed a lot since I started 10 years ago. The days of needing to be waif-thin are well and truly over’.
