A British reality star has been spotted wearing an itsy bitsy bikini after losing 63kg.

Chanelle Hayes looked incredible as she hit the beach in a skimpy cossie after her dramatic weight loss.

The former Big Brother UK star recently revealed she hopes to undergo a tummy tuck and boob lift after completely transforming her body.

Despite her surgery plans, the 35-year-old is clearly enjoying her weight loss success, showing off her hard work in a string two piece, The Sun reports.

Chanelle, who rose to fame on the popular TV show in 2007 when she was just 19, beamed as she relaxed on the sand in the orange string two-piece.

The mum-of-two revealed she’s had a gastric sleeve op in August 2020 after reaching 108kg.

She said her extreme weight gain ruined her life and she refused to even leave the house as her confidence got so low.

However, the nurse has said she now “feels a million times better” since the surgery, but wants a tummy tuck because she is worried about the loose skin on her stomach.

“I’m 85kg now and a dress size 6-8. Last summer, I was around 60kg and before having the sleeve fitted, I was a size 22 and 108kg,” she told OK! magazine.

“I’ve actually been really stressed with university deadlines and the children’s schedules with schools and their dads and I think that’s caused the weight loss.

“It means I’ve got more loose skin, so while I still feel a million times better than I did when I was unhealthy, I’m now thinking, ‘Maybe I want to do something about this,’ so I’m considering a tummy tuck.”

Chanelle, who said the she believes in body confidence, said she is also considering a breast lift as she believes her bust has been “disfigured” following the weight loss.

“It’s not even that they’re saggy, it’s actually a bit of disfigurement – the implants I had done in 2010 went under my muscle and my breast tissue is now under my ribs, so it’s like there are four separate breasts,” she said.

“I’d have my implants removed or perhaps switched to smaller ones.”

The transformation comes as Chanelle revealed on Instagram she has also been diagnosed with osteoarthritis.

“Morning, so I’ve just had a phone call from the doctors regarding the results of an X-ray I had done,” Chanelle said.

“And, considering I’m only 35 years old, I’ve now been diagnosed with arthritis in both hips.

“Bit annoyed to say the least because I feel like it’s going to hinder me from doing stuff that I need to do.”

In most cases it develops in people in their mid 40s and is more common in women and those who have a family history of the condition.
