A mortified mum has told how she "can't go back" to her personal trainer after making an embarrassing blunder with her progress pictures.

She has joked that she may have to continue her fitness journey elsewhere after the awkward misunderstanding.

Radio presenter Gemma took to TikTok to explain mishap and left people viewing her video "crying" with laughter.

It has racked up more than 185,000 views and hundreds of comments.

She explained how her new PT had asked her to take 'before' photos in her underwear. He instructed her not to breathe in or pose for good angles. She was advised to "be honest" so she would have a starting point to compare her progress against.

Gemma did as instructed, posing for a photo in her underwear and sent them across - but was left mortified by his response, Mirror UK reports.

In a screenshot of the exchange, Gemma's photo is visible before the trainer replies to clarify: "Hey, sorry Gem I meant take photos for yourself not to send to me. So you can check out your progress."

The radio presenter replied: "OMG I'm so sorry. What a t**t I thought I was meant to send them to you. How embarrassing. I'm so sorry".

The trainer made clear: "No lol I don't ask clients to send me pictures in underwear. I was eating dinner with my girl she's quizzing me 'who is this chick...'"

Gemma hilariously captioned the video 'How do I go back' with a face of despair, but many viewers moved to reassure her that it's an easy mistake to make.

One said: "My PT told me to take pics but said do not send me them so I'm assuming others have before..."

A second wrote: "Don't worry I probably would have thought the same! I would have assumed the PT had a before and after board or website or something!"

And others were simply left in hysterics, as one commented: "Sorry but that's so funny..."

While someone else added: "Second hand embarrassment for you."
