Nelly Furtado has revealed that she has more self-confidence than ever since having a baby.

The singer gave birth to daughter Nevis nearly three years ago, and admits that she finds being a mother "empowering".

"I like my body so much more now since having my baby," she told The Sun. "It's just kind of empowering when you become a mother. You just get overwhelmed with this new confidence and you feel really in control of your life. It's been beautiful. I celebrate my body."

Furtado's single Maneater recently topped the UK charts.
