Fleur East has opened up about experiencing "mum guilt" after returning to work following the birth of her first child.
The singer discussed feeling "anxious" before heading back on stage for the first time since becoming a mum. Fleur, 36, welcomed a baby daughter named Nova with her husband Marcel Badiane-Robin, on 22 March.
Exactly three weeks after giving birth, Fleur performed at an undisclosed gig - marking her return to work. The mum-of-one shared the news on Instagram, alongside a photograph of herself with two of her backing dancers.
The singer sported glittery tights and a pearl-studded white blazer, with patent boots.
"While I was still pregnant, I received a booking to perform at a gig. It was touch and go as to whether or not I would do it because it would be so soon after giving birth," Fleur explained.
"But this weekend, three weeks after having Nova, I decided I was ready to get back on stage and see how I get on." She went on to admit her body "doesn't feel the same" but eventually the "energy took over" and she "felt amazing" up on stage.
The star continued: "I was anxious being without our baby girl for a bit and my body definitely doesn’t feel the same, but surprisingly the energy took over. "It felt amazing to perform with these incredible ladies who gave me good, positive vibes on stage.
