Chanelle Hayes showed off her jaw-dropping figure as she enjoyed a sun-soaked getaway in Tenerife last weekend.
The former Big Brother star, 36, wowed as she showed off her nine stone weight loss and toned abs in a plunging turquoise bikini.
The star, who recently revealed her new career as a nurse, took a stroll along the beach as she cut a stylish figure in a white crochet beach cover up.
Chanelle paired the matching shorts and cropped shirt with some sunglasses and flip flops as she headed to the sun loungers.
Carrying her essentials in a large beach bag, the star was later seen walking along the sea front as she dipped her toes in the water.
At the height of her fame in 2009, Chanelle weighed 8.5 stone, barely ate and took laxatives to try and achieve a 'WAG body'.
Fast-forward to 2020 and the reality star had a secret gastric sleeve operation after she reached 17 stone.
Chanelle lost 10 stone and dropped from a size 18 down to an 8. The star bravely showed her scars from the operation on her trips abroad.
She revealed the operation was a 'last resort' and decided on surgery after years of being unhappy, opting to have the operation at Burcot Hall Hospital in Worcestershire.
Last year she took to social media to share some before and after photos of her weight loss, adding that her operation had 'changed her life' and she had 'no regrets'.
Meanwhile Chanelle took to Instagram last month as she celebrated her new career change after qualifying as a nurse.
The star shared a throwback snap of herself dressed up as nurse as a child alongside a photo of her recent graduation and her new uniform.
She penned: 'I’ve been posting a lot less recently. It’s not because I have nothing to say, I’ve been settling in to a new job role that I have wanted for many years but didn’t feel quite brave enough to do.
'Thankfully, my husband and parents were such rocks and provided unconditional love and support for me when I was struggling.
'My children have missed out on a few plans, we have limited our holidays to accommodate my studies. 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.
'They heard people tell me to quit to do something easier, witnessed me working HARD and achieving a first class honours. I carried so much guilt studying so hard when my kids needed me, but now I see that I taught them an important lesson.
'Whatever you strive for; work for it, stick at it, you will achieve it.'
Last November Chanelle enjoyed a holiday with her husband Dan Bingham after the pair tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in June.
The couple looked smitten and couldn't keep their hands off each other while they rested on a sun lounger.
Chanelle announced her engagement to Dan in May 2022 and the pair married in an intimate ceremony in June.
The former Big Brother housemate was reportedly 'over the moon' and said 'yes straight away' with a source telling OK! magazine: 'She's been dreaming of this for such a long time.
'Chanelle has really been through it when it comes to relationships and this time it really feels like she's found The One.'
'She's already looking into wedding plans and can't wait to finally get married – she's been dreaming of this for such a long time.'
The TV personality shares her son Blakely, 11, with her ex-partner Matthew Bates, who she was in a relationship with between 2009 and 2010.
She also has Frankie, four, with Edward Oates, who she was with on-and-off from 2016 to 2017.
In October 2021, the influencer told her Instagram followers in a Q&A that she planned to walk down the aisle with her man and posted a rare photo of them.
In the post, Chanelle was asked 'Do you think you will get married?'
She replied to the fan with a 'Yes' and a love heart as she concealed Dan's identity with the question box.
In the snap, they could be seen looking cosy over drinks as she revealed at the time that she found the one.
