The TV presenter welcomed her second daughter in December

Katie Piper’s life as a mum-of-two is proving to be very busy.

The TV presenter hit Instagram to let fans know about her jam-packed schedule, revealing that she thinks it's tougher than a typical working day.

'Ballet done, swimming lessons with two of them in tow now - all on 4 hours sleep!!!' she wrote.

'When you realise a working day was easy compared to this 😱👶🏾💖.'

Katie uploaded a lovely shot alongside her comment, showing herself snapping a selfie with her newborn.

In the shot, the new mum's post-partum figure is visible and fans were quick to praise her.

'Oh Katie, you are so real. I love a normal body, a body that takes a natural amount of time to get over the trauma of childbirth,' gushed one.

'After 7 months I am only just getting body confident, and it's because of people like you that I know it's normal to take time.'
