Frankie Essex reveals her incredible 2 stone weight loss and amazing abs after battling her body demons
Reality star shows off amazing body transformation in Ibiza
FRANKIE Essex looks abs-olutely fantastic as she exercises her body demons away once and for all.
The former TOWIE star has battled her weight for years and was famously pictured on holiday in Lanzarote in January in an orange bikini with her "saggy belly" on full display.
But just six months later, the 28-year-old has transformed her figure through a strict diet and exercise regime, showing off her now toned torso in a peach cropped top and black leggings as she enjoyed a workout in Spain.
"I did want a tummy tuck when I was 21 but I wouldn’t do it now. I’ll always have a saggy belly but I accept that now. I can wear Spanx or a swimsuit."
And Frankie certainly looked sensational in a vibrant cut away one piece as she enjoyed a dip in the pool while in Ibiza last month, after admitting she wanted to go from a size 12-14 to a size 10.
The star's weight slowly crept up on her during her last relationship with builder John Lyons, which ended last year, and Frankie hit a downward spiral of drinking and binge eating.
She explained to Now: "I’d go drinking, then feel sorry for myself and eat, and I kept eating."
Frankie turned to food as a comfort as she also battled with depression, which became so bad that she didn't want to leave the house.
She said: "I felt so sad I’d lock myself away and stay inside and eat. One time I didn’t leave for three days. I didn’t need to, as I had the food. I’d use any excuse not to go out.
" I do get my low days."
But thankfully Frankie has clearly turned a corner, and her positive attitude coupled with the natural high of exercising hopefully means she has banished her saggy belly for good this time.
