Chanelle Hayes shows off her figure in a cut-out bikini during holiday to Tenerife after nine stone weight loss

Over the weekend, Chanelle Hayes flaunted her new physique during her vacation in Tenerife, following her successful nine-stone weight reduction.

In 2007, when she was a contestant on the Channel 4 reality show, the ex-Big Brother star, aged 36, decided to don a stylish cut-out swimsuit and spend a day lounging by the pool.

In my expert opinion, I paired a sleek black two-piece ensemble with an eye-catching pair of oversized shades and let my hair fall effortlessly into soft curls for a stylish yet comfortable look.

Relaxing by the pool, Chanelle soaked up come sun before taking a shower outside.  

She’s openly shared about her long-term battles with self-perception regarding her physical appearance, confessing that if she could talk to her past self, she would encourage herself to relish each precious moment.

In the peak of her popularity in 2009, Chanelle struggled with maintaining a ‘WAG body’ by keeping her weight at around 8.5 stones, limiting her food intake significantly, and relying on laxatives.

In 2020, the reality star then had a secret gastric sleeve operation after she reached 17-stone.

Chanelle shed approximately 54 kilograms (or nine stones), going from a size 18 to an eight, and courageously displayed her surgical scars during her travels overseas.

After enduring years of unhappiness, she eventually disclosed that the procedure was her final option. She chose to undergo the surgery at Burcot Hall Hospital, located in Worcestershire.

In my recent journey, I decided to document my transformation by posting pre- and post-weight loss photos on social media. I couldn’t help but express that the surgical procedure I underwent has truly revolutionized my life, leaving me with absolutely no regrets.

She’s recognized for her uplifting social media content promoting body positivity, and she recently responded critically to the concept of a ‘summer body.’ Instead, she emphasized that what truly matters isn’t the swimsuit size, but rather the empowerment behind the individual.

In June 2024, she shared a video of herself wearing bikinis spanning various years with the caption: ‘So, what exactly is a summer body? I enjoyed every moment on each of these vacations, and my size ranged from 6 to 18 (and pregnant too)!

I’ve opted for blue bikinis since sometimes our body image can make us feel down. If only I could go back in time and tell my younger self to savor every moment, because it’s the memories that truly matter, not the size of the bikini.

In the past few weeks, Chanelle has successfully reached a significant milestone by transitioning her career to become a registered nurse.

The celebrity posted an old picture of herself dressed like a nurse when she was young, together with her current graduation photo and her new nursing uniform.

In my recent posts, you might have noticed a decrease in frequency. This isn’t due to lack of thoughts or ideas, rather it’s because I’ve taken on a new job position that I’ve long aspired to, yet felt somewhat hesitant to pursue.

It’s fortunate that during difficult times, my husband and parents served as steadfast pillars, offering me boundless love and encouragement.

As a lifestyle guide, I’ve had to prioritize my studies recently, which meant adjusting our family plans and vacation schedules. My kids and I have had to make some compromises, but the long-term benefits of my education are worth it for us.

‘But they saw every single atom of the blood sweat and tears that I poured into my degree.

‘This taught my children that people can say cruel things about their mum, but she was resilient.

‘People suggested I give up for an easier task, but they saw me putting in tremendous effort and ultimately earning a top-tier degree with first class honors.’

She mentioned: ‘I felt so guilty for working so diligently while my children required me, but now it’s clear that I imparted a valuable lesson to them.’

‘Whatever you strive for; work for it, stick at it, you will achieve it.’

Chanelle and her husband Dan Bingham tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in June of last year.

This television figure has an eleven-year-old son named Blakely, whom she co-parents with her former partner, Matthew Bates, from their romance that spanned the years 2009 to 2010.

She also has Frankie, four, with Edward Oates, who she was with on-and-off from 2016 to 2017.
