Melissa Suffield shared an empowering post about body confidence on Instagram on Thursday, where she talked about embracing her 'fat rolls' and post-baby body. The former EastEnders actress, 28, who gave birth to her son River last March with her fiancé Robert Brendan, uploaded a photo in a red silk dress and told fans how she nearly didn't post it because of how she looked. Melissa, who played Lucy Beale on the soap, penned: 'I almost didn't post this. Fat and rolls spilling over the top of the thick waistband of a pair of Robert's pants, the dress clinging to it.
