Chantelle Connelly cools down by the pool in Spain as sun-soaked break leaves her feeling reflective
The 26-year-old ex-Geordie Shore babe looked deep in thought as she relaxed during her holiday
CHANTELLE Connelly looked deep in thought as she lounged by the pool during her winter sun break in Spain.
Keeping her boobs firmly under wraps with a turquoise tube top, the 26-year-old star stripped down to her bikini bottoms and lay on the poolside.
Chantelle has had a rough few months after quitting Geordie Shore after only one season to return to love Tommy Sayers back in Newcastle in August.
Once reunited with her beau, she later got Tommy’s name tattooed under hers on her neck – but they split shortly after.
The pair did briefly reunite and even appeared to have got engaged after she was spotted wearing a massive sparkler on her wedding finger, only to split again within weeks.
She now has his name etched under hers on her neck and has admitted she regrets leaving the show for love.
Since then, Chantelle has been spending most of her spare time jetting off to sunnier climates and staying away from the UK.
She was spotted letting her hair down for her sister's birthday in Benidorm, and ended the night dancing on a stripper pole - proving she hadn't lost her skills after spending time in the profession.
Chantelle has frequently been forced to defend her past as she was confronted by cruel trolls who took exception to how she used to make a living.
In one Twitter post she wrote: “Strippers making 100k a year & driving your dream car & here you are struggling because you got morals.” [Sic]
When people lashed out, she supported her previous comment by adding: “Don’t think people got my last quote. Obviously I used to be a stripper, that’s why I found it funny! Some people wow. God give me strength”
She continued: “Was a stripper and proud!! Don’t mean you don’t have morals. Small-minded hating b****es. Kiss my stripper ass.”
But she later told the Newcastle Chronicle: “I don’t think anyone realises how hard these past few months have been for me since I left. It’s been tough.”
On top of abandoning the MTV show mid-filming its abroad season, Chantelle has also gone on record to slam the romance between Marnie Simpson and her Celebrity Big Brother co-star Lewis Bloor.
The star has also come forward and accused MTV bosses of creating a relationship between her and lothario Gaz Beadle, and that the show itself was faked.
Chantelle later ranted to a camera on a night out: “In the next series of Geordie Shore- Lewis will see – she want’s to jump on his c**k.
“That’s all I’ve got to say. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.”
