The Dancing on Ice star looked almost unrecognisable from the size 18 picture, where she weighed five stone more than she does now.
Jennifer appeared on Loose Women and explained she had already lost a stone when the "before" picture was taken.
She said: "I didn't want to be in the gym. I just wanted to be a mum. I didn't realize how big I was until I look back now... I put on like five stone..."
"I was still in maternity stuff a year [after the birth]. It was really, really hard. It is difficult, but when you know the key things to fitness, I've kind of been taught."
She added: "I got a the call about Dancing On Ice and I thought: 'Right, you've got to get your backside into gear girl'. I thought "I need a personal trainer.'"
The 28-year-old put up a picture on Twitter and said: "Look at me with my fat friend!!!"

- Kelly Preston<p> The glowing mum of three who fell pregnant for the third time at the age of 47 has claimed breastfeeding - which burns around 500 calories a day - is responsible for losing all those extra baby kilos.

- Claire Richards<p> After giving birth to her second daughter, Daisy, the former Steps singer lost a whopping five stone (and showed off her size 18 frame alongside her svelte size 10-12 body in a bathing suit in <em>Closer</em> magazine) thanks to dieting, running and kickboxing. Three months later she was back in the mag, posing nude and showing off her weight gain and size 16 curves.</p>

- Miranda Kerr<p> Kerr seems to be the new poster girl for celebrity mums since she seems to look better than she did pre-baby (if that's possible) and claims she did it all the natural way. She says a diet of healthy foods, her yoga practice and breastfeeding helped her stay in shape during and after the birth of baby Flynn, along with resistance training, which she started in the spring (her son was born in January). At right is a shot of Kerr a mere two months after Flynn was born. </p>
- Myleene Klass<p> Just a few months after daughter Hero was born, Myleene was back in fighting form - but she claimed it was just a clever optical illusion.

She has also credited her Mediterranean diet for helping her look so good.</p>

- Rachel Zoe<p> The super skinny celebrity stylist stayed ultra-thin (and propped up on mega-heels) throughout her pregnancy, so perhaps her claim that she's done nothing to lose the post-baby weight rings true. 'I swear to you [I have done] absolutely nothing. I'm nursing, so I think that's part of it. He was all in my tummy, so after a week or so, it was just kind of gone. It's nursing, I think.' </p>
- Jodie Kidd<p> The action-loving model has been breastfeeding and eating nutritiously after the birth of baby Indio, which might explain why she looks so glowing and fantastic just three months later. </p>
- Heidi Klum<p> Not to put too much pressure on herself, the model mum of four decided to hit the Victoria's Secret catwalk just six weeks after giving birth to daughter Lou. 'I'm definitely one of the heaviest of the bunch of the 30 girls in the show. And I still have 20 pounds to go,' she said at the time. She credited her phenomenal post-baby body to working with a trainer, walking and exercising with the medicine ball.</p>
