The mother-of-two appeared to go make-up free as she showcased her toned abs in her zip-up bralet.

Stressing the importance of exercise in her life, the What About Us hitmaker said: ‘I find these times very tough mentally…not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel…

‘I don’t know what I would do if I hadn’t found training thanks to @thebodysmyth for keeping me fit and setting goals. It really helps.’

Una’s social media post came after ex-husband Ben Foden recently admitted that it was ‘wrong’ to marry his new partner, Jackie Belanoff Smith, on the day their divorce was granted.

The rugby ace, 35, married Una in June 2012 after four years of dating, but their marriage ended in 2018 after he allegedly cheated on her with PR girl, Becky Milne, who denied the claims. 

Just one year later, the sportsman surprised fans when he married his second wife Jackie on board a luxury yacht in Nantucket, Massachusetts, just two weeks after they started dating. 

The US socialite announced her pregnancy soon after, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Farrah Abra Foden, in May this year.  

Speaking in an interview with TV presenter Sharon Carpenter on Instagram Live in September, Ben, who also shares Aoife, eight, and son Tadhg, five, with Una, admitted he didn’t act in a particularly kind way towards the mother of two of his children. 

The X Factor star said: ‘I hold my hands up and say, it was wrong. My final decree didn’t even come through until the morning of us getting married.

‘People will say I wasn’t very ­respectful in what I did, getting married to Jackie very quickly, but you can’t help the heart and we’ve got past it.’
