Chanelle's surgery plans

Despite losing over 9st, Chanelle Hayes tells new there are more things she'd like to change

She shocked fans last year when she showed off her staggering 8st weight loss after having a gastric sleeve, and now Chanelle Hayes has exclusively revealed to new that she hasn’t stopped on her surgery journey and is planning a tummy tuck and boob lift.

The former Big Brother star was spotted last week on the beach in Tenerife, where she enjoyed a three-day winter break with a friend. Chanelle reveals to us that she’s lost 1st 5lb since last summer through the stress of juggling a hectic schedule as a student nurse and mum to sons Blakely, 12, and five-year-old Frankie.

However, while she “feels a million times better” since having the gastric sleeve surgery in August 2020, she is planning to have a tummy tuck because she’s worried the loose skin she has is “ageing”.

Chanelle, 35, admits, “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. 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.
