The 27-year-old has gained 2 and a half stone since December, when a drunken fall left her with a broken coccyx and unable to exercise.
Explaining her weight gain, Chanelle told Closer: ‘I’m one of those people who eats everything if they’re not training. When I don’t go to the gym, it’s like a free pass for me to binge.’
In the five months since Chanelle slipped in the snow and hit her back, the star has gone from a svelte 8st 8lbs to 11st.
Mum of one Chanelle says she is disappointed she’s let herself pile on the pounds, admitting: ‘I actually think I have compulsive eating disorder.’
‘I think about food all the time - I need to have my jaws wired!’
Hayes admits that her biggest downfall are biscuits - which she can eat three packets of a day sometimes - and that she feels her addiction to sugar is on a par with a heroin addiction.
‘If I’m dieting I cut myself off from everyone for two weeks until I’ve got all traces of sugar out of my body - I can’t be around temptation.’
