Celebrity Big Brother’s Chanelle Hayes looks incredible as she shows off her figure in a gold bikini on holiday in Spain
CHANELLE Hayes looked amazing as she showed off her figure in a gold bikini on holiday in Spain.
The Celebrity Big Brother star, 36 – who has lost a huge amount of weight following a gastric bypass in 2020 – oozed confidence as she walked by the pool on her travels.
Chanelle rocked a skimpy metallic one-shoulder two piece swimwear.
The TV star scraped her hair back into a low ponytail.
She styled the bikini with some black sunglasses.
Back in March Chanelle wowed in a cut out swimsuit in Spain and she showed off her secret surgery.
The star secretly went under the knife back in December for a breast lift after she claimed her weight loss ‘left her boobs hanging to her knees’.
Chanelle had surgery at Burcot Hall Hospital in Worcestershire back in December.
After shooting to fame in 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.
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.
In November last year 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, 13, and Frankie, six, 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 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.
