The Big Brother legend seems very proud of how far she's come on her fitness journey after gaining weight as a single mum
In her recent Instagram posts, the reality TV star says she's healthy and feeling good about her weight. She's even thinking about going back to her long blonde tresses.
"Nearly back at this weight...debating going back blonde 👩🏼 #blonde #brunette #decisions," she commented on a very glamorous snap.
In an earlier post, she captured her slender frame and documented her two stone weight reduction.
Mum to seven-year-old daughter Dolly, Chantelle has struggled with her body image in the past, telling Closer in a previous interview:
“I’ve tried every diet going and I’ve considered lipo in the past, but I’d never do anything as extreme as that now.
"It’s taken me nearly 30 years to realise that being slim and maintaining my weight is about eating healthily and exercising."
