BIG Brother's Chanelle Hayes reveals her weight loss journey after dropping nine stone.
The 35-year-old, who was a dead ringer for Victoria Beckham during her time on the show, had bariatric surgery in 2020.
The TV star, who now works as a nurse and aesthetic practitioner, says that she "doesn't regret" opting for a gastric sleeve.
She shared a reel documenting the procedure along with snippets of exercise and happy times with family and loved ones.
In one picture, Chanelle revealed her scars from the incisions on her tummy.

"I get so many DMs about my weight loss surgery," she said, before revealing the most frequently-asked questions.
"Was I nervous? Yes! But I did plenty of research beforehand.
"Do I regret it? Not one bit, it’s changed my life when I was unable to do so on my own.
"Is it easy? No, there’s still lots of work to put in, it’s not a quick fix and it changes the way you eat/digest forever.
"Is it for everybody? No. Nothing is for everybody really. If you’re seriously considering bariatric surgery, do your research.
"Exhaust other options. Speak to a professional who is able to give you medical advice.
"Did it change my life? Yes it did and I am forever grateful…in some ways it didn’t only change my life but it saved it. It allowed me to live again.
"My WLS allowed me to experience things with my loved ones that I wouldn’t feel able to do before. It improved my mood, my health, my quality of life."
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.
She made the decision to go under the knife after struggling to overcome binge eating.
