Sharing the picture on Instagram on Wednesday, the television host and actress, 55, appeared very confident and said she had ‘worked hard’ to feel good in herself.

‘I am not superhuman, but I am someone that when I set my mind to something, I for the most part do it,’ she told People.
The Hairspray actress added: ‘I have a lot of willpower. I’ve been big, I’ve been skinny. I’ve been 260lbs; I’ve been 120lbs.’
Ricki also said that she feels different in her 50s as she’s no longer focusing on a number on a scale, as she finally realising that it’s really all about ‘feeling as good as we can for as long as we can’.
In terms of specific weight loss tips, Ricki said: ‘Get out and walk. Get out and be out in nature, rain or shine. I live in Malibu. I go out in these mountains.’

After her doctor told her she wouldn’t be able to lose weight without a pill or shot, Ricki saw it as a personal challenge and believes she succeeded for one big reason: she loves herself.
And that is the advice she is giving to her fans and others who are currently on their own weight loss journey.
