Shaughna Phillips reveals real reason she couldn’t take Ozempic as she hits back at rumours over weight loss
FORMER Love Island beauty Shaughna Phillips has revealed the real reason she couldn’t take Ozempic after her weight loss transformation.
Shaughna, 30, appeared on season six of Love Island back in 2020, with her since having undergone a massive glow-up.
When she shot to fame on the hit series, Shaughna left viewers feeling seen with her more natural figure.
Dividing viewers at home though, some people were pleased to see a body like Shaughna’s on the telly, while others were not and flooded her with hateful remarks.
But five years on from her stint on the show, the mum-of-one looks almost unrecognisable after losing over five and a half stone.
And now, after shedding so much weight, Shaughna has been receiving hate once again – but this time for being too slim.
Despite fans thinking so, Shaughna’s weight loss success hasn’t been the result of fat loss injections such as Ozempic, but instead her Shred-It Plan.
Shaughna’s Shred It Plan is what she credits her weight loss, but fans still reckon she’s used the type 2 diabetes medication in order to transform her figure.
But Shaughna has now broken her silence on the Ozempic allegations, revealing the one reason she would never use the injection.
Ozempic can curb appetite by mimicking a hormone that signals fullness and slowing digestion, and because of this, Shaughna wouldn’t want to use it.
“I love food way too much,” she said to The Mirror in a recent chat, where she alluded to how she would never want to suppress her appetite.
She went on: “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 of 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.
“I believe that Ozempic is an appetite suppressant, and those are not new,” she said.
“It’s just essentially a new name for something that gives the same results.”
