Chanelle Hayes has showed off her incredible beach body on a sun soaked family trip after dropping an incredible nine stone since undergoing gastric sleeve surgery.

The former reality star, who found fame aged just 19 appearing in Big Brother, has documented her weight loss struggles with her 120,000 Instagram followers over the years as she has battled to stay healthy.

But during a recent family vacation on the idyllic island of Corfu, she proudly showed off her slimmer figure in a vibrant yellow bikini.

The former glamour model, who is mum to sons Blackely, 11, and four-year-old Frankie, posed for pics looking calm and collected before heading in for a swim.

Chanelle took the brave decision to go under the knife for a gastric sleeve in August 2020 and has since shared pictures of her pre-surgery body and post-surgery body.

Since leaving the reality spotlight she has pursued a career in nursing and is also preparing to tie the knot after announcing her engagement to boyfriend Dan Bingham.

She explained how she's been left with excess skin on her tummy and would also like a fuller cleavage again.

Asked by Ok! if she's found the perfect style she replied: "Not yet because I’m getting my boobs done in January, and until then I don’t even want to look at a wedding gown."

She added: "I’m also considering a tummy tuck to get rid of some of the loose skin I’ve developed since losing so much weight.

And although the mum-of-two often paints a picture of positivity on her Instagram, she shared a raw reality recently with a tear-soaked selfies as she gave a brutally honest account of how her week was going.
