Olivia Bowen looked stunning as she posed in semi-sheer black lingerie for a sizzling Instagram post on Friday.

The former Love Island star, 28 – who came second in 2016’s Love Island series to Alex Bowen before the couple married in 2018 – showed off her tattoos as she pulled on the underwear, sporting the silver-studded bra.

Olivia put her hand on her waist, with the sassy lingerie tied with a length of satin ribbon.

She looked relaxed as she stood on the stairs at home and rested her arm gently on the banister, which was decorated with a Christmas garland with twinkling white lights.

The television personality opted for a glamorous look for her makeup to highlight her beautiful features.

She wore a gold necklace as an accessory and wore her blonde locks pulled back in an updo, the locks falling loosely to frame her features.

It comes after Olivia opened up about her birth experience and admitted that she felt like a “failure” by not having a natural birth.

In a new interview, she spoke candidly about the unsettling birth and how she had to make quick decisions to save her child’s life.

Olivia revealed that she was determined to have an all-natural birth and had even turned to hypnobirthing — a natural form of pain management that focuses on breathing techniques and a positive mindset.

However, after Abel’s heart rate dropped and her waters had not yet broken, she had to be induced and given an epidural, while her son was pulled out with tweezers.

Speaking to Grazia, Olivia explained, “I wanted a natural birth so badly and I’m not even sure why. I think I wanted to be like this raw, natural woman who could breathe through her contractions and be fine. I wanted to be like those strong women I had seen everywhere.’

She added, “I feel like my childbirth experience has taken away from me a little bit. I’ve always believed I’d be that person who thought, “It doesn’t matter how they get here, as long as they get here happy and healthy,” but I’ve realized that it does matter to me.

“Sometimes I was disappointed in myself that I couldn’t handle the pain. I keep thinking there’s more than I could have done. There’s this idea that women are built to give birth and I feel like a failure that I couldn’t do it naturally.’

She also spoke of how she lost “nearly a liter of blood” during the traumatic delivery and acknowledged how hard the experience had been for her husband Alex.

Olivia says the experience hasn’t stopped her from having more kids, saying she and Alex want two kids.

But the reality star added that they plan to wait until she turns 30 and have sought therapy to prepare for the second.

Elsewhere, Olivia previously said she feels like an “alien” in her own body after giving birth to her first child in June this year.

Olivia spoke to MailOnline about how she coped with postpartum body confidence and how her husband Alex, 31, was a “punching bag” during her emotional moments.

Her comments came after new mom Chloe Madeley admitted she couldn’t imagine ever “feeling sexy again” after giving birth in August, and while she doesn’t feel in her body at the moment, Olivia insisted she’s in the future would feel sexy again.

Olivia said she was having a hard time coming to terms with her new body, admitting she’s a “very different Olivia” than she was before giving birth.

Speaking of Chloe’s experience, she said, “Better luck for her if she comes out with such a thumping body and you want to show it off.” Go for it, I just think it’s a hard thing because some women find it so hard afterwards.

“Also for me I feel very strange in my body, I feel very different. At the same time, I know that I will feel 100 percent sexy again.

‘Because I know that feeling sexy and confident comes from within, not what you look like or what body shape you have.

“It’s all related to the person having the emotions. On her behalf, she shouldn’t be able to feel like herself and I totally agree with that.”

“When I had Abel I didn’t feel like myself, I felt like a different version of myself and I think you’re kind of in a daze when you have a baby so you don’t really know how to feel.

“She only had the baby a few weeks ago, her hormones are still raging, you can’t really attack a woman for how she feels, it doesn’t matter if it’s not how you feel, we’re all going to feel different opposite it.’
