CHANELLE Hayes has revealed that she plans to get a tummy tuck and a boob lift after losing 7st.

The former Big Brother star, 35, confessed to having a secret gastric sleeve op in August 2020 after ballooning to 17st.

She said her extreme weight gain ruined her life as she refused to leave the house for a year because she was so ashamed by her size 18 figure.

The nurse said she “feels a million times better” since the sleeve surgery, but said she wants a tummy tuck because she is worried about the loose skin.

 “I’m 8st now and a dress size 6-8. Last summer, I was around 9st 5lb and before having the sleeve fitted, I was a size 22 and 17st 4lb," 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.

“I feel like it’s ageing me a bit."

Chanelle, who said the she believes in body confidence, said she is also considering a boob lift as she believes her breasts are “disfigured” following the weight loss.

She said: “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.

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

"The surgeon would have to remove all the loose skin and put it back up where it meets in the middle.

"My nipples are doing more hanging out with my knees at the moment than my chest, so it’ll be nice to be reunited with them!”

Chanelle shed an incredible nine stone by undergoing gastric sleeve surgery in 2020 and then following a healthy eating and exercise regime ever since.

She then underwent further surgery to remove excess skin.

But despite her amazing transformation, she has admitted to feeling self-conscious in swimwear.

Last August, she posted on social media:

“I was conscious about wearing a bikini on holiday this year because of my loose skin (I’m the lowest weight I’ve been since 2015) but then I remembered I did all the other years so why would I not anymore?!

“Gave my head a little shake and reminded myself of my post last year: EVERY body is a bikini body."

At the height of her fame in 2009, Chanelle weighed 8.5stone, barely eating and taking laxatives to try and achieve a WAG body – skinny with big boobs.

Unable to find a happy medium, Chanelle would binge eat Dominos pizzas and her weight spiralled out of control.
