CHANELLE Hayes looked absolutely stunning as she showed off her new figure while on holiday in Spain. 

The 36-year-old Big Brother legend secretly went under the knife back in December for a breast lift, after a 10-stone weight loss that, she claims, ‘left her boobs hanging to her knees’.

Posing on the edge of the pool, Chanelle looked fabulous in a deep blue cutaway one-piece, which accentuated her flat stomach and abs, and new, smaller boobs. 

Pinning her hair up in a bun, Chanelle posed with sunglasses on her head as she wandered around the poolside of the resort. 

The former model and reality star decided to have surgery back in December at Burcot Hall Hospital in Worcestershire after years of being unhappy with her figure. 

Back in 2019, she shut down one fan who said they ‘wanted her boob’ by declaring on Instagram: “God you do notttt!!! I can’t wait until I have got to my goal body shape and size then I am having my implants out. Don’t want them in my body plus they reach my knees these days.”

Now she’s finally gone through with her wish, she appears happier than ever. 

Chanelle has been open in discussing her battle with her weight and personal image, which has seen years of yo-yo dieting and attempts to get healthy. 

After first appearing on Big Brother back at the age of 19 in 2007, Chanelle went from a size 6 to 20 in the years that followed. 

She later confessed this was due to a binge eating habit that is made worse through emotional stress. 

In 2020, she underwent a secret gastric sleeve operation in order to shift the weight for good, and went from a size 18 to 8, and leaving her with some scarring on her stomach. 

Chanelle has never shied away about the reality of her figure and look, even being praised for brutally honest unedited and unposed snaps to prove Instagram didn’t always match reality. 

In October last year, she admitted she tried to rise above the online trolls that mock her figure and looks, but sometimes that’s easier said than done. 

"They would say my body is 'disgusting' and ask what happened to me - just awful things really,” she told new magazine. 

"I used to reply to them, but I think it made things worse," she admitted. "I would spend hours talking to these people, then I'd get angry, and it would really bother me."

She’s now the proud mum to two children - Blakely, 13, and six-year-old Frankie - but has been left heartbroken by the idea that her kids face bullying as a result of her figure. 

“It would be good if the school were a bit more supportive, but what can I do? It really does affect them and upset them,” she said.

“It doesn’t happen so much for Frankie, but older kids do say things, which is frustrating.”
