She was initially banned for a year but this was reduced to eight months – a time in which she found a new way to entertain her legions of fans.

The 29-year-old has bombarded them with playful selfies, promoting everything from bikins to CBD oil.

There was also an unfortunate incident with her dog in a swimming pool after it “clawed” her boob.

But the hard work has been taking place in the gym.

And she said the weight loss starts now – something loads of us will have muttered to ourselves during lockdown.

Posting a shot of herself wearing her UFC fight kit in front of a mirror, Ostovich wrote, “Good news: I’m cleared to fight next month. Bad news: Weight cut starts now lol.”

The post garnered more than 50,000 likes and many commented saying how excited they are to have her back.

One wrote: “Get it girl!”

Another commented: “Can’t wait.”

A fellow fan posted: “The hottest fighter!”

While a fellow user wrote: “She’s back!”

Ostovich was banned after testing positive for Ostarine, which can be used for the treatment of conditions such as muscle wasting.

It was discovered in a batch of tainted supplements.

No fight has yet been announced for Ostovich’s return so a future opponent is still up in the air.
