‘I’ll be a plus-size model!’ Chanelle Hayes says she is ready to embrace her new curves

The reality TV star has gained six stone but said she’s never been happier

CHANELLE Hayes has decided to stop fighting the constant battle with her
fluctuating weight and has decided to embrace her curves instead.

The reality TV star was snapped on the beach in Spain this week showing off a
much fuller figure and pinching at her body as she examined her wobbly bits.

She seemed happy with her extra pounds as she jogged, splashed about and
soaked up the sun.

And as she posed naked for Closer magazine, she revealed that she has decided
to accept she is the weight she is, and maybe a career as a plus-sized model
beckons!

She said: “I’m really embracing my body – why should there be so much emphasis
on weight? I’d love to be a plus-sized model. I want to show women out there
that you can be happy and sexy whatever your shape. I’d love to bring out a
range for curvier women.

“Besides, my priorities have changed. Blakely is at school and I’d rather be
at home with him in the evening than at the gym. There are more important
things in life than what size you are.”

“Now I’m a mum and nearly 30 my metabolism has slowed down and I’ve put
on weight. I’m a size 16 and happier than ever.

“My relationship with food is much healthier now. It’s important Blakeley
sees me eating normally although my biggest downfall is Domino’s Pizza!”

The former model has always fluctuated with her weight, her smallest being a
size 8, her biggest a size 16 and it’s understood she turned to comfort
eating after her last relationship broke down.

Chanelle, who has a five-year-old son with footballer ex Matthew Bates, split
from boyfriend Josh Singleton last November after they had dated for about
six months.

It all got a bit nasty when she claimed he had threatened to call in social
services to investigate her parenting.

But the upset over the split with Josh caused Chanelle’s weight gain despite
her insistence earlier this year that she was about to start a diet.
