Chanelle Hayes’ love life: ‘Humiliated by men’, dumped after giving birth and furious Twitter rows

The Big Brother star is almost as well known for her tumultuous relationships as she is her TV work

CHANELLE Hayes has found herself single once again, just weeks after the birth of her second child.

The heartbroken 30-year-old has admitted that she “begged” Ryan Oates to stay after he cruelly dumped her, as she now faces life as a single mum of two.

Over the years, the star, who rose to fame on Big Brother, has become almost as well known for her tumultuous relationships as her TV career.

And as her latest romance comes to an end, we take a look back at the rocky romances she's endured over the years.

Chanelle’s first high profile romance was with Ziggy Lichman, who she met during her time on Big Brother in 2007.

Aged 19, Chanelle had the world at her feet and dashing Ziggy on her arm as she left the famous house that summer.

Not surprisingly the pair enjoyed a good five minutes of fame, with mag deals galore, until it all came crashing down about six months later.

After becoming a star in her own right, Chanelle did what most could only dream of – she bagged herself a footballer.

She embarked on a whirlwind romance in 2010 with Middlesbrough player Matthew Bates, but it wasn’t exactly the happy ever after she dreamed of.

The pair had a very tumultuous relationship and just three months after she fell pregnant with her first child, they split.

Their relationship didn’t get any better after she gave birth to Blakey – and they became embroiled in public rows about custody.

What’s gone wrong for Chanelle?

By the Sun’s Relationship Expert Dr Pam Spurr (on Twitter )

Chanelle Hayes has certainly had roller-coaster relationships. Nothing’s ever plain sailing for her and it's tragic it's happened again when her son, Frankie, is only a couple months old.

Unfortunately this roller-coaster pattern suggests that Chanelle might be so used to dramas that she hasn't learnt how to keep things calm in her romantic life.

Once you let everything become a drama, it's hard to learn positive ways of relating to a partner. Where you two actually sort out your differences.

Self-fulfilling cycle

This can become a self-fulfilling cycle of choosing men who fit into the relationship ‘pattern’ that you know. Ones who also don't know how to reach compromises and work out differences. Something every couple must learn to do for a successful love life.

I've never met Chanelle but going by her interviews over the years, since her Big Brother experience, she really wants stability. She wants to be loved and to have security. But she doesn't seem to have the relationship ‘skills’ needed to achieve this.

I’d urge Chanelle

I'd urge Chanelle to get all the support she can from family and friends with baby Frankie, who's so young and needs 24/7 care. To focus on his wellbeing as well as her own. A happy mum means a happy baby. This means resisting getting into more arguments with Ryan.

Together they should work out his visitations – maybe through a trusted third party – while feelings are running high.

And perhaps have a trusted family member or friend help them with handovers when Ryan visits so they don't have further rows in front of their baby.

This really is the time to put Frankie first and their differences on the back burner, giving time for things to calm down. Then maybe together they can move forward to a happier place.

Not long after splitting from Matthew, and while still pregnant, Chanelle started dating Jade Goody’s widower Jack Tweed.

They dated on and off for three years, before splitting in May 2013 after a terribly rocky romance.

During the relationship, the pair constantly fought over Twitter, exchanging bitter remarks.

One such remark, from Chanelle was: "Absolutely f**king sick of living up to a ghost and never coming close. What's been the point to my last three years of my life then?!"

Jack has continued to make cruel comments about Chanelle on Twitter since, and last year took to Twitter to fat shame her once again.

Chanelle found love with fitness fanatic Josh after her split from Jack but their romance only last six months.

Their relationship didn’t end too well either and also sparked a series of Twitter rows.

In one rant, Chanelle blasted: "Josh Singleton is the WORST person I have ever met!! Threatens to call social services and say I'm a bad parent because I won't get back with him. I am disgusted. Sick freak."

Ryan Oates

In 2016 Chanelle went public with PE teacher Ryan Oates and fans thought she had finally found the one.

They later announced they were having a baby and things seemed to be perfect - until it all came crashing down this month.

The star revealed they had split in a series of shocking messages on Twitter, just weeks after she gave birth to a little boy called Frankie.

She later admitted that she tried whatever she could to get him to stay, saying: "I've got no self-respect left in my body. I've begged so much it's embarrassing. I just feel humiliated.”
