Since then Chanelle, 28, has gone up to 14st and a size 16 – but the star says she’s finally happy with her body and doesn’t plan on losing any weight.

The mum of one says: “I’m really embracing my body – why should there be so much emphasis on weight? You can look and feel good at any size!

“Besides my priorities have changed. Blakely is at school and I’d rather be at home with him in the evening than at the gym. There are more important things in life than what size you are.”
