Shaughna Phillips reveals exactly how much she weighs after being forced to hit back at fat jab rumours
SHAUGHNA Phillips has revealed exactly how much she weighs in a fan Q&A after losing over five stone.
The slimmed down Love Island star, 30, is always honest with her fans and had no issue sharing the number on the scales when asked on Instagram.
Alongside a picture of her in gymwear, she wrote: “I weighed myself last week for the first time in forever and I was 9st 10lb.
“I was about that weight for a good few months at the end of last year. Then I got INSANELY ill end of December/January and lost about a stone obviously unintentionally.
“So I’m back up to my ‘normal’ weight now.
“I was 15st 5lb at my heaviest.”
It comes just weeks after Shaughna, who lost her weight naturally through exercise and healthier eating, revealed why she couldn’t use a fat jab like Ozempic.
Despite continuously denying the use of appetite-suppressing injections for 18 months, Shaughna still faces questions about her methods.
Type 2 diabetes medication Ozempic can curb appetite by mimicking a hormone that signals fullness and slowing digestion, and it’s precisely because of this why Shaughna wouldn’t want to use it.
“I love food way too much,” she said to The Mirror.
“There’s a new fad every other year. It just so happens that this is the fad this time around, and after I have lost weight.
“The thing is, it just coincided with the time when I had my daughter Lucia, and I had this baby weight and everyone was commenting on it. Had it been a few years prior, everyone would have been saying I had a BBL, or some magical liposuction that completely transformed how I looked.”
She went on to say how “we’re in the Ozempic season at the moment”, noting how she can’t help how people perceive her.
Mum-of-one Shaughna revealed that her weight loss was done in a “safe way” after finding an eating and exercise plan that worked for her.
Favouring a natural look as well as lifestyle, Shaughna recently ditched her lip fillers and told fans ‘this is the most natural I’ve been in a very long time’.
She said on social media: “I finally did it, I’m actually pleasantly shocked with how I feel about them, I’m calling that growth.”
After getting her filler dissolved, Shaughna spoke to the camera and said: “This is the most natural I’ve been in a very long time.
“I’m trying to tell myself, or convince myself, that you don’t need these things to be pretty. You can be pretty without.”
