Big Brother legend Chanelle Hayes looks incredible as she flaunts weight loss in barely-there red bikini
BIG Brother legend Chanelle Hayes looks incredible while flaunting her weight loss in a barely-there red bikini.
The reality star, 37, was pictured enjoying a day out poolside with some pals in Tenerife.
And Chanelle showed off her impressive physique in a hot red bikini while enjoying drinks in the sun.
The bronzed beauty wore her brown locks down in loose curls and threw her head to the side as she laughed.
Chanelle added some sunglasses to her look, and looked carefree in the sun-drenched location.
The glamorous group giggled away, and Chanelle was all smiles as she showed off her jaw dropping figure following her nine stone weight loss.
The Celebrity Big Brother star lost her weight following a gastric bypass in 2020.
After shooting to fame on the reality show in 2007, Chanelle went from a size 6 to 20 because of a binge eating habit.
At the height of her fame in 2009, Chanelle weighed 8.5 stone, barely eating and taking laxatives to try and achieve a WAG body – skinny with big boobs.
But more recently she’s lost a whopping nine stone after having a gastric sleeve operation.
The op has seen her go from a size 18 to a size 10.
A couple of years ago, Chanelle opened up about being trolled for her looks.
She told new magazine: “They would say my body is ‘disgusting’ and ask what happened to me – just awful things really.
“I used to reply to them, but I think it made things worse.
“I would spend hours talking to these people, then I’d get angry, and it would really bother me.”
But while Chanelle no longer worries about the keyboard warriors, she has had to protect her kids – Blakely and Frankie – from being bullied over her weight battles.
The pair have had unkind things said at school about their mum’s past appearance.
“At school, other kids can be nasty to my kids. That’s an issue,” Chanelle explained.
“It would be good if the school were a bit more supportive, but what can I do? It really does affect them and upset them. It doesn’t happen so much for Frankie, but older kids do say things, which is frustrating.”
In June last year Chanelle married her fiancé Dan Bingham in an intimate wedding ceremony.
The Big Brother legend finally walked down the aisle and said ‘I do’ to Dan a year after their engagement.
