Chanelle Hayes showed off the jaw-dropping results of her 8.5 stone weight loss as she soaked up the sun in Spain last week.

The Big Brother star looked phenomenal as she sizzled in the same yellow bikini she wore on holiday three years previously and prior to the gastric sleeve surgery which helped her shed the incredible amount of weight after years of body battles.

Before undergoing her surgery, the star revealed she took laxatives for 10 years and would only eat a tin of tomatoes in a bid to look ‘skinny like Victoria Beckham’ during her battle with yo-yo dieting.

In subsequent years, she found her weight creep up to 17stone 4lbs at her heaviest, after bingeing on Domino’s pizza, doughnuts and Coca Cola.

In an interview with The Sun, the mother-of-two has shared how gastric sleeve surgery helped her curb her compulsive eating habits and develop a healthy relationship with food.

Reflecting on how fame exasperated her desire to be ‘skinny’, Chanelle recalled: ‘My life post Big Brother, my eating habits got worse, everyone I hung out with in London was even smaller than me, so I felt so big…

‘They all took drugs, which I guess explains why they were thin, but that was not something I was into. I was living in hotels and would not eat anything all day, if I got absolutely starving I would eat a tin of tomatoes with hot sauce, then take laxatives…

‘I thought I was setting myself up for this amazing life but in truth I was always on my own and it was so lonely.’

At 8.5 stone, Chanelle moved up north to Wakefield to live near family but found she had begun to binge on food when she fell pregnant with son Blakely, now 11.

The television personality found herself in a vicious cycle of overindulging on takeaways, feeling guilty and then trying to compensate for her actions by taking laxatives and overexercising.

By 2013, Chanelle’s weighed 13.5 stone and was offered a chance to lose weight and make money by signing a contract with a slimming pill company, and lost 5st in four months.

Yet three years later, a failed relationship and now a single mum to two boys, Chanelle found her food addiction ‘totally out of control’ and weighing 14.5stone.

‘People just thought I was greedy but I was beyond the point of control and my addiction was really taking hold. I decided to have gastric sleeve surgery in 2020 after going up to 17st 4lb,’ Chanelle said.

Before undergoing the procedure, the reality stars said ‘lived like a hermit for a year’ as she felt ‘so ashamed’ of her weight.

But the gastric sleeve surgery has given the BB star a new lease of life. Now weighing 9.5 stone Chanelle says she is the ‘happiest I’ve ever been both physically and mentally’.

The television personality admits while she would love to remove her 34F breast implant and ‘doesn’t love her loose skin’ but is trying to ’embrace her body’.

Chanelle said the surgery was a last resort and she had it because ‘I was an addict and felt powerless’, and that having it can ‘save your life’.

She’s been sharing regular snaps showcasing her impressive body transformation since revealing that she had a secret gastric sleeve operation.

And Chanelle Hayes proudly showcased the results of her seven stone weight loss as she shared new before and after snaps to Instagram on Wednesday.

Chanelle’s arms and legs were much more toned in the ‘after’ snap, which saw her wearing a white sports bra and black pants.

She also flaunted her taut midriff as she held out her arms and shared the update on her fitness journey with fans.

Writing a lengthy caption alongside her post, Chanelle penned: ‘5 lessons I have learnt since having weight loss surgery.

‘1. It does not change my relationship with food. Bariatric surgery is only a tool, if I don’t use it consistently and correctly it will fail. Addressing abnormal relationships with food is so important if I want to become healthier physically and mentally.

‘2. Not everyone will understand my choice and that’s ok because it is MY journey. ‘Just eat less and move more’, ‘you’ve taken the easy option’, are a few comments I’ve heard along the way. Believe me, it is not easy (wish it was!) and it was not an option I took lightly. But it has been the best decision I’ve made in terms of my health.

‘3. Exercise is different now. I’ve always enjoyed working out (I’m actually a qualified PT, crazy as this may seem) but I actually feel proud to exercise and improve my body after all the junk I’ve been feeding it all these years. It’s my way of saying ‘hey body, I’m sorry for abusing you…here’s an olive branch’ (or a dumbbell).

‘4. Weight looks different on everybody. I am trying to stop focussing on other people’s weights because my only competitor is myself. Ten people could weigh exactly the same but have completely different body compositions. Selfishly (but thankfully) I now only care about myself and mine.

‘5. Even though I’ve lost weight, I’ve grown as a person. I have been every size you can think of and can empathise with the issues that come with them all. I realise people may plaster on a smile – at any size – but not be ok beneath the surface.

‘Going through this experience has really given me a better understanding of private struggles and how easy it is to hide them.’

The star then ended her post saying: ‘Thought I would share this today on #womancrushwednesday because my #wcw this week is ME… and I don’t think I’ve ever been able to say that before.’

Chanelle captioned the pic: “So I haven’t felt comfortable to wear anything in a bright colour for a while but this week I WENT FOR IT!!!! Found a gorgeous dress at @femmeluxefinery and chose the red!! Loved it!!!

“I couldn’t decide whether to do a red lip or not but decided it may have been overkill so went with nude. Anyway, it covered my arms which I was so glad about because even though I have lost weight from all over, my arms are the last place I seem to notice an inch loss difference.”

She concluded the post with a preemptive note for anyone ready to doubt her weight loss journey, adding: “Also, I took this by door frame, skirting boards, door etc so it’s CLEAR that this pic is NOT photoshopped.”

Her devoted followers flooded the comments with messages of support for the mum-of-two.

One wrote: “You look fabulous! A real inspiration of perseverance and hard work.”

Another commented: “Oh my god!!! You have done AMAZING. What an inspiration. Hot muma.”

Someone else told her: “I need a gym buddy like you for motivation @chanellejhayes absolutely look fantastic.”

Chanelle has struggled with her size for years but revealed earlier this month she managed to fit into size 12 jeans for the first time since 2016, having dropped three stone by eating more healthily and exercising regularly.

Last week, she found herself having to hit back at cruel trolls who said she hadn’t lost any weight and was still a size 18, like she was in November last year when her latest weight loss journey began.
