Love Island’s Liberty Poole hits back at accusations she’s using Ozempic as she addresses her dramatic weight loss

by

Liberty Poole has responded to rumors that she’s been using the weight-loss drug Ozempic after noticeably losing weight.

The Love Island star, 26, has undergone a noticeable transformation in recent months.

On Tuesday, she addressed a comment on TikTok that claimed she’d used weight loss drugs to get in shape.

In her video reply, Liberty said: ‘So as some of you may know, I’ve lost weight recently.

I still feel confident in my figure and happy with my curves – my hips, breasts, and overall shape. I definitely still consider myself curvy.

Someone also commented on that same video asking if I was pregnant. It just goes to show, as a woman, you can’t win – no matter what, people will always have something to say about your body.

‘Honestly, just be the way that makes you happy. 

No, I haven’t used Ozempic. And I don’t think it’s right to judge anyone who does.

You have the right to make your own decisions about your body, and I respect that. However, speaking for myself, I didn’t believe the potential health risks were worth it.

Explaining the reason for her weight loss, Liberty said: ‘So I never used to go to the gym. 

I used to associate going to the gym with being overly concerned about my appearance.

You know, I used to think of fitness as a chore, but everything changed last September. My mom signed me up for a fitness bootcamp, and honestly, it was a total game-changer! It completely shifted how I think about exercise and my overall approach to staying healthy. It wasn’t just about the workouts; it really changed my mindset.

I was taking six really tough exercise classes daily, and honestly, feeling the sense of achievement and self-care from pushing myself and prioritizing my health made me even more passionate about fitness.

‘I’m not going to sit here and say I’m an adamant gym girl because I’m not. 

‘I had three Maccies the other week, I did two gym sessions yesterday, I had a pizza in the night.

‘So in terms of why I’ve lost weight, it could be a few factors. 

I was bouncing between temporary bedrooms, neglecting my well-being, and spending my days endlessly scrolling online without getting any exercise.

I’ve been making small improvements to my eating habits, enjoying the foods I like while also focusing on a healthier lifestyle. It feels less like a strict diet and more like a shift in how I think about food, and that’s what’s really making a difference.

I’ve never had much luck with diets. I used to be fit before appearing on Love Island, but I was more focused on achieving a certain appearance than on actually feeling good.

‘Now I’m doing it for how it makes me feel.’

She explained that your size—whether it’s a 16 or an 8—doesn’t matter. What truly counts is how you feel about yourself, and if you’re happy with your body, that’s what’s important.

‘So you’ve just got to do what’s right for you.’

It comes after Liberty split from boyfriend Joshua Raybould after a year of dating in August. 

The couple, who began dating publicly last August, have decided to split up after realizing they had some fundamental disagreements.

Liberty and Joshua recently broke up because they weren’t a good long-term fit, with some sources claiming he was using her to gain publicity.

According to a source, Liberty and Joshua have decided to split up. They had a wonderful year together, particularly at the beginning when they were very close and enjoyed several trips away.

They really enjoyed connecting with each other, even though her friends worried he was only interested in her because of her popularity.

After the initial excitement faded, it became obvious they weren’t right for each other in the long run. Liberty is now concentrating on her business and wants to be surrounded by genuinely supportive people.

They enjoyed their time together, but ultimately realized they wanted different things and decided to go their separate ways.

Daily Mail contacted Liberty and Joshua’s representative at the time for comment. 

After their split, Liberty and Joshua have removed each other from their social media accounts, and Joshua has deleted all photos of them together from his Instagram.

Liberty has been focused on promoting her swimwear line, Uplifted The Label, while Joshua has been sharing photos from his nights out and DJing gigs.
