Emma Beadle, the wife of former Geordie Shore star Gaz Beadle, has taken to Instagram to show off the scars from her recent heart surgery.
Emma had surgery in late January to fix three holes in her heart as well as to fix a valve, but shortly after the operation she suffered from a collapsed lung.
Now she is encouraging her 906k followers to not be ashamed of their own scars. Sharing some snaps of herself, Emma posed in black jumpsuit which she had zipped down to show the scars.
She penned the caption: "Never be ashamed of a scars, your scars tell a story. They’re a reminder of when life tried to break you but failed."
The comments quickly filled with fans sharing their own scar stories, with one writing: "I have 2 scars , I got surgery on both of my feet and they are pretty big and I’ve always thought of it like battles that life throws at you and leaves you the scars as a reminder that you won."
Another added: "You are truly amazing and such an inspiration to me! I am fully aware that I will need heart surgery in the future. I’ve already had complex vascular surgery 5 years ago!"
"You inspire me to have the strength to not be scared of whatever surgery I face in the future! Thankyou! Continue to wear your scar with pride! You look gorgeous! X"
And a third said: "My daughter has the same scar, never hide it. It does fade in time but never completely goes. Makes you stronger x."
