She recently showed off her weight loss in Tenerife as she relaxed in the sun, with her newly slimmed-down figure.

And Chanelle Hayes has now revealed her diet secrets, after losing three stone and four dress sizes, following her admission back in August that she'd been on a six-week food binge.

Telling fans at the time, the Big Brother star said, "I have had a really bad 6 weeks diet and nutrition wise. Totally fallen off the bandwagon and have gone from the size 12 I got down to back up to a 14.

"I can also tell in myself that I feel softer and have lost definition which is such a shame."

She added, "I need to get back on it big time as I can feel with every pound gained, a little confidence has been lost."

Paul 'Bubble' Ferguson

Bubble is perhaps best remembered for his collection of hats, which Brian once stole before starting a ridiculous argument (they loved a play fight). Bubble was the only person in the house who didn't drink, so we're not sure how he managed to survive when everyone else was sloshed.

Bubble and Dean released the song Standing Tall which charted at 99 in the UK charts. He's also starred in pantomimes, an episode of The Office and in Dead Set.

The 31-year-old's latest health kick comes after she opened up to Closer in 2016 about her weight loss journey, confessing she was on the cusp of developing diabetes due to her obsession with food and her inability to exercise because of back pain.

She revealed, “I’ll order so much food that it’s like I’m having a buffet! I’m barely eating any fruit and vegetables, which is terrible.

“I can’t sit still or stand up for longer than 30 minutes without getting shooting pains up my back. Being my weight is making it so much worse, as it’s putting a lot of pressure on my joints, and my muscles can’t support my back. I’m basically in pain all down my body every day."

She posted a before and after picture to update her followers, due to the fact she was feeling "positive" about her new image.

She said, "Comparing these two pics makes me feel positive... In losing all that excess weight I have gained more confidence and happiness...I have been working hard at keeping (and increasing) my muscle mass.

"This is a long term change I am making so that I can prosper in the long term results. There are no quick fixes. Believe me - I've tried everything!"

Chanelle went on to say, "Hard work, perseverance, consistency and dedication are key."
