CHANELLE Hayes has hit back at claims she’s gained weight in order to release
a fitness DVD.
The former Big Brother star, 28, who
has recently gained over six stone in weight, appeared on This Morning
today in an attempt to rubbish claims that she’s gearing up to go on a diet.
When Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield suggested the recent pictures of
Chanelle frolicking on a beach in Spain in a lime green bikini were staged
to get the ball rolling for a workout video, the former glamour model hit
back.
She said: “To be honest amount I’ve spent on Dominos and Krispy Kremes, I
don’t even think I’d break even.”
“I didn’t see the photographer. Maybe lime green isn’t my colour, but I
genuinely thought I looked alright when I left the house. I don’t think I
look hideous, I think I look nice.”
Chanelle, who shares her son Blakely with her footballer ex Matthew Bates,
told Phil and Holly that now her ex-boyfriend no longer sees their
five-year-old she’s determined to set a healthy example for him.

She continued: “It’s just me a Blakely, he doesn’t see his dad, so he’s
just got me to set an example for him. I’d rather him seeing me eating a few
carbs and being happy than miserable by snapping at him all the time for not
eating anything.”
“I still go to the gym four times a week, but I eat whatever I want
afterwards. I don’t go to lose weight and get toned.
However, the reality star, who has previously been the face of a slimming
tablet brand, later appeared to backtrack on her remarks as she refused to
completely rule out releasing a workout DVD in the future.
She said: “If I wanted to lose weight and I was offered the chance to
film a DVD alongside that, I would consider it. Who would pay me though?
That’s like my friend Catherine from school having a DVD. ”
This Morning viewers rushed to Twitter during Chanelle’s appearance to call
out the mum-of-one for contradicting herself.
One fan wrote: “So just to clarify, Chanelle Hayes is after a fitness DVD
deal then? #ThisMorning”
Aother added: “Chanelle Hayes is massively contradicting herself with
every other sentence.”
Meanwhile, Chanelle is thought to have turned to comfort eating following her
split from her boyfriend Josh Singleton last year.
A source told Closer: “Chanelle’s trapped in a cycle of trying to lose weight,
but she has a thyroid problem, depression and is struggling to stick to any
sort of diet or exercise regime.
“She’s devastated after breaking up with Josh… Chanelle has told friends
she’s comfort eating and she’s the biggest she’s ever been at 14st and a
size 16.”
