IS A DVD DEAL ON THE MENU?

Chanelle Hayes oozes confidence as she enjoys a beachside lunch

CURVY Chanelle Hayes took some time out from tanning to tuck in to a hotdog during a recent holiday.

The Yorkshire lass was seen on a sunshine break to Ibiza where she defied rumours of a potential weightloss DVD deal by embracing her curves.

The 28-year-old was seen soaking up the atmosphere on the White Isle, where she told fans she was taking some time out with her new boyfriend - and rumoured soon-to-be-fiance - Ryan Oates.

However, Ryan was nowhere to be seen as Chanelle enjoyed an al fresco lunch at a discreet cafe.

Wearing an eye-catching purple bikini, Chanelle sat down for a spot of lunch.

Her hair was pulled back in a messy bun with sunglasses helping to keep rogue strands out of her eyes.

Chanelle first found fame on Big Brother back in 2007, where she entered the house as a Victoria Beckham obsessed size 8.

While she tried to emulate her idol by pouting a lot and releasing a dodgy pop song, she definitely never managed to nail the famously thin fashion designer's eating habits.

Victoria appears to survive on edamame beans and steamed fish, but Chanelle is happy to gorge on junk food, and has even opened her own cake shop.

She also smiles a lot more than Posh, which she puts down to not being hungry anymore.

On an appearance on Loose Women, Chanelle explained that she was a horrible person when she was thin.

She explained: “I was so miserable [at size 8] all I wanted was a burger.”

So understandably she looked in good spirits as she munched her hotdog, which she washed down with a can of Coke.

But although she was happy to sit and eat lunch, she took her dessert to go.

Chanelle then took the beach, walking along the shore with an ice cream cone.

With the hot sun blazing down it wasn't long before some of it melted.

After all that lunching, it was time for Chanelle to have a rest

Standing a petite 5'2, Chanelle's weight has fluctuated from a size 8 to a size 16 - and some may say the notorious yo-yo dieter is an even bigger size now.

Many have said that her extreme weight gain is a ploy to snare herself a lucrative weightloss DVD deal - something she denied but has hinted she's up for.

When she appeared on Loose Women, she said: "If someone said they'd offer me 30 grand to do a fitness DVD then I would, but I wouldn't sit there and eat 500 calories a day."

At the end of last year, Chanelle lamented to fans on Instagram that she had gained four stone - but planned on launching a fitness blog to track her progress as she slimmed down again.

But fast forward a few months and she has changed her tune, instead declaring she was happier bigger and that she was going to try and become a plus-sized model to capitalise on her new abundance of curves.
