As she began to tear up, the Hustle star added: ‘It’s hard when I talk about the emotional stuff… it’s hard. I can do this.

‘I wasn’t valuing myself, and telling myself negative things. That was hard. I’m trying to change those patterns, so you’re more loving and treating yourself with respect.

‘I’m working on self love, and that’s a hard concept to master.’

Rebel also revealed that she wanted to get healthy in 2020 because she had decided to freeze her eggs, in case she wants to start a family in future.

She added: ‘I was thinking about fertility and having good quality eggs in the bank, so I was like – OK, I’m going to do this. I’m going to get healthy.’

Rebel confirmed she had lost a whopping 28kg so far this year, and puts a large part of that down to her passion for hiking.

The comedian proudly announced the news on Instagram on Sunday, confirming that she’d reached her goal weight with ‘time to spare’.

Sharing a photo of the number 74.6 on the scale, the star said that while it’s not about a number, she needed a ‘tangible measurement’ to keep her motivated.

‘Hit my goal with one month to spare! Even though it’s not about a weight number, it’s about being healthy, I needed a tangible measurement to have as a goal and that was 75 kilograms,’ Rebel captioned the post.
