How much weight has Chanelle Hayes lost?

On January 10, Chanelle appeared on ITV's This Morning to reveal she has lost two stone since October.

"I'm trying really hard," she told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

"I've always had such a horrific relationship with food and my emotions. Most people when they break up with somebody, they don't eat, but I eat. Then when I'm celebrating, I eat. Everything revolves around food."

Despite losing two stone, Chanelle insisted she wanted to still lose some more weight and promised to return to the show "skinny and in a yellow bikini".
