Chanelle Hayes has been spotted confidently embracing her body in a bikini as she holidayed in Greece.
Former Big Brother housemate Chanelle, 34, lost nine stone within the past two years following a gastric sleeve operation in August 2020.
Now, Chanelle has been seen confidently embracing her body in an emerald green bikini as she took a dip in the pool on her Greek holiday.
Chanelle's two-piece swimwear set boasts a bra-like emerald green bikini top and high-waisted bottoms, which come below her belly button.
She added a pair of simple black thong flip fops to her poolside look and wore a white and black striped oversize beach bag for the sun-drenched outing.
Chanelle, who recently said a Big Brother reboot would be too similar to 'boring' Love Island, wore her brunette mid-length locks in a down hair-style and used her dark sunglasses to push the front of her hair away from her face.
The Big Brother star, who once worked as a Posh Spice lookalike, was seen enjoying a dip in the pool, first sitting at the edge and paddling her feet before popping her whole body into the refreshing water.
After a quick swim, Chanelle retreated to her sun-lounger where she tied her hair up and soaked up some rays.
It comes after Chanelle, who also had hair transplant surgery recently, candidly opened up about previously feeling conscious about wearing a bikini because of her 'loose skin' from the gastric sleeve op.
As she posted a collage of snaps of herself from over the years wearing different swimwear looks, Chanelle opened up to her 120,000 followers.
She penned in the caption: "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. (only if you want it to be, of course! Many people prefer swimsuits/coverups and that’s all good too).
"But my point is: if you want your body to be a bikini body, it is".
The former reality star was soon praised by fans as one wrote: "You look stunning in all of those pictures and don’t let anyone tell you different! Xx".
Another added: "Looking fabulous on every picture! Keep putting out the body positivity message!!!"
"I Think you look amazing in all of them xx," a third agreed.
Chanelle recently got engaged to her boyfriend Dan Bingham in April and is "over the moon" about finding The One.
An insider recently told OK!: "She’s been dreaming of this for such a long time.
"Chanelle has really been through it when it comes to relationships and this time it really feels like she’s found The One."
She began dating account manager Dan at the beginning of last year.
The reality star kept him out of the spotlight until sharing their engagement news as she posted a photo of the pair on her Instagram and gushed: " So…. Dan and I are engaged!!!! Forgot to mention" followed by a laughing face emoji.
