Chanelle Hayes shows off her slimmed down figure after dropping two dress sizes
The former reality star has struggled with her weight over the years and has been open and honest about it in the past
CHANELLE Hayes has been showing off her new body in a sexy red bikini as she suns herself on holiday after dropping two dress sizes.
The former Big Brother star, 30, who rose to fame on the reality show in 2007, has made no secret of her struggles with her weight over the years.
But the television star, who is mother to son Blakely, nine, and Frankie, eight months, was looking fabulous as she enjoyed herself on the beach in Spain today.
Chanelle has left the children at home in the UK so she could enjoy some solo rest and relaxation.
She gave birth to her second son Frankie last year and has since been putting in the effort to lose some weight.
Before making a bid to better look after her health, Chanelle, who is an ambassador for the Celebrity Slim weight loss programme, told The Sun Online: “I’ve always yo-yoed with my weight, but I am so determined to lose weight and become a healthier mum to Blakely and Frankie.

“I very rarely get time to exercise, which is why the Celebrity Slim programme works so well.”
Chanelle opened up about her battle with her size during an interview on This Morning last year, admitting she was on medication to help her feel more comfortable after gaining weight.
She said: “I’m a [size] 18 now. I’m too heavy. I’m on painkillers now because I’m too heavy for my frame.
“I can barely get up with my back. And it’s more so when my left knee is hurting, getting out of breath and doing things, that’s not cool.”
After a previous appearance on the show, Chanelle was praised by the viewing public for looking good but says the compliments made her feel as if she could settle down and concentrate less on her figure.
But she insisted she would be losing weight sensibly and would not be putting herself on any crash diets, saying: “I’ve done all these extreme things and it’s just not my thing.
“I’m horrible and evil when I’ve done it before, so I’ve got to be more responsible.”
At the end of last year Chanelle had lost weight since her This Morning appearance and pals says she was feeling great.
A friend told Closer magazine: “Chanelle was around a size 16 at the end of last year and she’s now a size 12.
“She’s feeling sexy again and is a lot happier with her weight.
“Her stomach is so much more toned and she’s feeling more confident with her arms and legs.”
