Alongside the pic, Victoria noted how she was beginning to feel "like herself again" by putting her wellbeing first.
"I post things like this… and sometimes I delete them. Not because I'm ashamed, but because it feels strange to show so much of myself, literally and figuratively," she said.
"This isn't just about weight or a bikini photo. It's about the nights I cried in silence, the mornings I dragged myself up anyway, the countless times I thought I'd never feel like 'me' again.
"The girl on the left wasn't lazy. She wasn't weak. She was just tired, of everything.
"The hardest thing I ever had to do? Forgive her. For the way she coped. For the times she shut down. For the choices she made when she didn't know better."
Speaking about herself now, she added: "The girl on the right? She's still tired… but she's proof that choosing yourself, even when it's messy, changes everything.
"This isn't a before and after. It's a reminder, to every woman scrolling, that you're allowed to restart as many times as it takes. :) You can do anything you want too."
The message comes just two days after Celebrity Bear Hunt star and former rugby ace Danny confirmed he had reunited with his ex, actress AnnaLynne McCord, with a birthday tribute and a red carpet appearance.
In a seeming jab at Victoria, Danny had set a carousel of romantic snaps with AnnaLynne to Spirit Bird by Xavier Rudd - which had been their wedding song.
In a statement shared with The Sun, Victoria said: 'The song Danny used in that birthday post for his girlfriend? That's actually our wedding song.
Danny Cipriani calls new girlfriend 'a miracle' as they share loved up video montage of them snogging in back of a taxi
"We played it all throughout our marriage so it was a huge shock for me to see yesterday.
"But it just shows the level of detachment. If it wasn't so absurd, it'd be hilarious.
"He's given me his whole rugby career, everything he ever owns, including trophies, clothes, lanyard, etc.
"Now he's giving away our wedding song!"
Victoria and Danny split in 2023 after two-and-a-half years of marriage, with Victoria accusing him of 'inappropriate behaviour' other women.
Danny has denied ever cheating on Victoria, but she is now selling all his sports career memorabilia after he left it in her possession.
He then went on to date AnnaLynne, splitting in January 2025 after nine months together, before their latest reunion.
Since splitting from Danny, Victoria has since qualified as a neuroscience practitioner.

'Don't let me turn into someone who doesn't recognise the people I love most', says Dame Joanna Lumley as she speaks out in favour of assisted dying
Dame Joanna Lumley has spoken out in support of the controversial assisted dying policy, saying she would not want to carry on if she couldn't recognize her loved ones. The actress, 79, said she supported the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which would allow adults with less than six months to live to apply for assisted death. The bill passed a vote in the House of Commons last month, despite objections from Labour ministers and Health Secretary Wes Streeting, and will be discussed in the House of Lords in the autumn. Dame Joanna, known for starring as Patsy in the BBC comedy Absolutely Fabulous. was asked about the bill in an interview with Saga Magazine. She said: 'People are terribly anxious about it and think you may be coerced. 'But I'm saying this now, when nobody's coercing me - don't let me turn into somebody who doesn't recognize the people I love most, where I'm having a miserable time. 'When I get to that stage, when my mind is gone and I have to be fed, that won't be me any more - and I wouldn't mind saying "farewell".' TV presenter Dame Esther Rantzen has been another vocal supporter of the bill and recently urged the Lords not to block the legislation. Dame Esther, 85, has terminal cancer and is being backed by her daughter Rebecca Wilcox. The support from Dame Joanna has been welcomed by campaigner Louise Shackleton. Mrs Shackleton, 58, is currently being investigated for taking her terminally ill husband Anthony, 59, to Switzerland last December to assist his suicide, after he had suffered from motor neurone disease for six years. She told The Mirror that she is set to bury his ashes today on what would have been his 60th birthday She added: 'He would have been overwhelmed that such a huge star has spoken out. 'I would like to thank Joana on behalf of fellow campaigners for having the courage to speak out and to represent the vast majority of people who are in agreement with what she is saying but haven't got her platform. 'Hopefully there will be measured, educated and community focused progress to move this forward.' The bill did have opponents from all parties including Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick. Writing for the Daily Mail, he revealed how he helped look after his grandmother, Dorothy, as a teenage boy – and how she continued to bring joy to the family as she defied a terminal diagnosis for nearly a decade. He said the prospect of legalising assisted dying 'fills me with dread', adding: 'My Nana felt like she was a burden. I know how much she hated the indignity she felt at having to ask my Mum or us to help her with basic needs. 'People like her – and there are many such people – may consider an assisted death as another act of kindness to us. How wrong they would be. 'Our society pays little regard to end of life care. We need to do much more as a country to help the elderly, like my Nana, in their final years. 'But my experience has taught me that there can be dignity in death, and that even in someone's twilight years, there is joy to be extracted from life. 'So I'll be voting No. And as I do so, I'll be thinking of my great pal – my Nana, Dorothy.' Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch urged her MPs to vote against the legislation, describing it as 'a bad Bill' despite being 'previously supportive of assisted suicide'. Mother of the House Diane Abbott also asked MPs to vote against the bill, saying: 'There is no doubt that if this Bill is passed in its current form, people will lose their lives who do not need to, and they will be amongst the most vulnerable and marginalised in our society.'

The six biggest make-up mistakes that are making women over 50 look older, according to top beauty experts
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more I have a big birthday looming – no, not that one, not quite yet - but the one that nudges me into my 50th year. And, somehow, this feels significant. Perhaps it's not that surprising - the Chinese Medicine practitioner Katie Brindle told me that, for women, the landmark birthday is not 50, but 49, because according to TCM we move through life in seven year cycles – and the start of the eighth marks the beginning of our 'second spring'. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for that yet, but when I look over pictures from the last year I can definitely see any wisdom I may have accumulated thus far in life showing up far more than it ever did before. I've never had Botox, fillers and the rest and I haven't yet decided if I will, but like most of us, I wouldn't mind slowing the progress of time on my face. And I know that make-up can work magic – if it's done well. So, I decided to ask the experts about the most ageing make-up mistakes they see women making – and their fixes. Read on to learn how to roll back the years with a flick of your mascara wand… NEVER OVER-POWDER Frances Prescott, Make-up artist and founder of Tri Balm and Maeva Rae A common mistake is to over powder. Don't! For a gorgeous dewy finish, use a hybrid product combining make-up and skincare ingredients, like Katherine Daniels Pure Pigment Foundation Drops (£42 / 20ml which has a supple texture that doesn't cake. Or look for tinted moisturisers instead. Pure Pigment Foundation Drops £42 / 20ml Shop GET CLEVER WITH CONCEALER Sascha Jackson, lead make-up artist Stila One of the most common ageing mistakes is using concealer that's too light and applying too much of it. The key is to choose a shade close to your foundation—no more than half a shade lighter. If you're dealing with dark circles, apply a peach-toned corrector first to neutralise purple tones, then follow with a small amount of concealer to brighten. Use a soft, fluffy brush to apply concealer gently—especially under the eyes, where too much product can settle into fine lines. Gabriella Elio, Make-up artist and founder of Sweed Beauty Women who are peri or menopausal, don't need to be afraid of blusher, but they (i)do(i) need to use it differently. Ignore the apples of your cheeks and apply to the top of your cheekbone instead, then blend down. Then put a flick of highlighter on top – you're focusing on lighting up your face at eye level. Blusher, like the Sweed Air Blush Cream (£28, used at the top of your cheeks replicates the fullness of lost fat pads. As we age, we all lose structure and fat – a swirl of blush creates the illusion of fullness, and youth! SOFTEN YOUR GO-TO SHADES Suzy Griffin Dunne, Make-up artist, founder of Hildun Beauty As we age, we need to reconsider not just the placement of make-up but also the textures of the products we are using. Generally, we need more hydration and creamier textures that are going to move with our faces instead of getting stuck in lines. Another important factor to consider when is that the colours we used to wear may be a little harsh, and we might need to soften those shades, perhaps changing our traditional black eyeliner to a brown. We have found this approach very popular with lots of our customers. In fact, we now have three shades in our ultra creamy brown eyeliner with a fourth launching later this year (£16, Award Winning Silk to Set Kajal Liner £16 Shop PLUMP UP LIPS LIKE A PRO Vincent Ford, Global Make-up artist When you apply your lip pencil or lipstick avoid taking the product all the way to the corners of the mouth. This pulls the mouth down and ages you. Instead only apply the lip colour to the centre of the lips and blend outwards, softly diffusing the colour. It will give the appearance of a fuller, more youthful mouth. Easy! OPEN EYES WITH A TOP LASHES TRICK Caroline Barnes, celebrity make-up artist Applying mascara to your top lashes only can really lift your eyes, especially if you use a mascara that dumps a lot of the product at the root of the lash because this creates a lovely invisible line that doesn't weigh the lid down. Try Elf Extender (£6.94, which has a really thin barrel that deposits the mascara very close to the lash, or Sweed mascara (£24, which deposits the mascara right to the roots of your lashes. Obviously you could open out your eyes by having mascara on the top and bottom lashes, but making it a little bit top heavy really does create a beautiful lift. Cosmetic Craving Eyeam Magnesium Butter, £25 for a 60g pot ( This brand is the brainchild of the Organic Pharmacy's Margo and her daughter Roxy, so I had high hopes – and I wasn't disappointed. After applying a good dollop to the soles of my feet I had a super deep sleep…Not surprising given that 5ML contains 200mg of magnesium. I felt so good afterwards that I've passed my pot on to a friend who has had trouble getting enough rest recently. I'll report back, but, at the very least, I know their feet will soon be sandal-ready. @katherine_spenley MAGNESIUM GLYMPHATIC SLEEPY BUTTER £25 Shop

EXCLUSIVE London's mugging hotspots revealed: Interactive map shows where you're most likely to be targeted by thieves in the Sadiq Khan's lawless city
The places where you are most likely to be mugged in London can today be revealed as a crime wave continues to grip Sadiq Khan 's lawless capital city. Unsuspecting tourists and locals alike are being targeted by gangs of thieves grabbing expensive watches off people's wrists. Yobs on e-bikes have been also caught on camera violently snatching phones out of people's hands as they walk down the capital's streets. Some of the recent victims of muggings in London include Bridgerton 's Genevieve Chenneour, Loose Women 's Christine Lampard and Jenson Button's wife Brittny. Now, MailOnline can reveal that London's most exclusive postcodes make up the worst hotspots for muggings. As shown in the interactive map below, Fitzrovia West and Soho in central London has seen some of the highest rates of robberies of individuals in the past year. In one area that covers both Oxford Street and Shaftesbury Avenue, a total of 508 muggings were reported to police in the year to June 2025. Another 499 robberies of individuals were recorded in the area including Regent Street, New Bond Street and sections of Oxford Street in the same time period. The areas around the Strand, Leicester Square, St James and Mayfair also saw very high levels of violent thefts, according to the data released by the Met Police. One zone, which includes popular tourist hotspots Leicester Square and Covent Garden, saw 370 muggings between last June and this summer. Another in the area around Buckingham Palace, the Mall and Picadilly Circus saw 251 violent thefts, police have said. It comes as a number of celebrities have revealed they have fallen victim to prolific thieves and muggers causing terror across the capital. Bridgerton star Genevieve Chenneour, 27, was targeted by a prolific teenage criminal who grabbed her phone in a Joe & The Juice in Kensington in February. Zacariah Boulares, 18, was jailed for just 22 months after snuck up behind actress but she bravely fought back, dragging him to the floor with the help of her boyfriend. She said she thought she was going to die after the thug threatened to stab her. Moreover 18 months before the attack, Boulares had targeted another celebrity victim. The then 16-year-old threatened to behead Aled Jones with a 20in machete as he stole his £17,000 Rolex Daytona in Chiswick, west London. The thief was locked up for the attack but only served 14 months of his 24-month sentence before being released back onto the streets. There was also outrage earlier this year after veteran broadcaster Selina Scott, 74, revealed she was viciously attacked and robbed in broad daylight in Piccadilly. The stalwart of British TV was leaving a Waterstones shop on June 17 when she was struck on the back of her right knee, leaving her feeling as if she had been 'stabbed'. She was set upon by a gang who attempted to grab her backpack. Fighting back, she kept hold of the bag – but one of the thieves unzipped it and took her purse before running off. Ms Scott lost her bank cards, driving licence and cash in the robbery. Furthermore in June, three 'Rolex rippers' who beat up their victims in central London before grabbing expensive watches were jailed for a total of 30 years. Tedros Haile, 35, Mahad Jammeh, 24, and Christian Whittingham, 27, carried out a series of attacks on the streets of Mayfair and the West End on June 25 last year. The trio targeted Michail Rivas outside the Rolls Royce showroom in Stratton Street as they surrounded him after jumping out of a white BMW wearing face coverings. They grabbed Mr Rivas' Mido Baroncelli Moonphase Chronograph worth £1,000 and quickly made off in the getaway car. Later that night the thieves targeted Mark Jackson and Oliver Wragg in Brewer Street. Both were wearing short sleeved tops and expensive looking watches after a night out watching football. Mr Jackson felt a hard object hit him behind his head then was hit with multiple full force fist punches. Statistics published by MailOnline last year revealed that muggings in London's West End tripled in just 24 months. Figures show the number of thefts from a person in the area around Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square increased to 2,806 in 2023, compared to 796 in 2021. On Tuesday, Sir Sadiq Khan announced policing blitz on London's 20 most troubled town centres, specifically for shoplifting, robbery, knife crime and anti-social behaviour. His Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Kaya Comer-Schwartz, said: 'The safety of our town centres is more than just policing – it's about building stronger, more connected communities where everyone feels secure. 'Across our city there will be partnership led operations to tackle shoplifting and clear, visible neighbourhood officers out on patrol, keeping our communities safe and working to build safer town centres and a safer London for everyone'. Moped and e-bike gangs have been identified as prolific culprits. It comes as MailOnline last week also revealed the worst streets for mobile phone theft in London's West End. Nearly 18 devices are being snatched on Oxford Street each day - with a total 6,539 reports of devices being stolen last year. Shaftsbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road in the theatre district were third and fourth with 1,032 and 946 respectively between January and December 2024. Completing the top ten were Wardour Street on 929, Greek Street on 623, Piccadilly on 591, Old Compton Street on 507, Strand on 494 and Leicester Square on 455. Phone theft has become an epidemic in London, hitting a record level last year – with the number of devices snatched more than tripling in four years. Some 70,137 phones were reported stolen to the Met in the capital in 2024, up by nearly 40 per cent from 52,428 in 2023. As recently as 2020, the figure was 20,000. Susan Hall AM, leader of the City Hall Conservative Group, told MailOnline: '6,539 thefts on Oxford Street alone is obscene. 'With the prospect of pedestrianisation looming, I've spoken to residents in Westminster who are horrified at how police cuts and pedestrianisation will only exacerbate this. 'For God's sake, Sadiq - get a grip on this and actually put the welfare of the public first. His inaction is rapidly making the West End more and more lawless.' Her Tory colleague Neil Garratt, who wrote the Tackling London's Theft Epidemic report earlier this year, added: 'These figures are shocking but not surprising. 'In February, my report into London's spiralling phone theft epidemic showed exactly how the Mayor can get a grip, but he refuses. 'Instead, he sits back blaming the phone companies while Londoners and visitors to our great city fear to take out their phone. This problem is solvable, so I am urging him, again, to take action now.'
