Bianca Gascoigne wanted to look her best for CBB
Bianca Gascoigne underwent a stunning weight loss transformation before entering the Celebrity Big Brother house and lost 19lbs in six weeks ahead of the show.
The model, 30, dropped three dress sizes and went from 10st 5lbs to 9st by working out three or four times a week.
The star says she now feels in the best shape or her life after losing three inches from her waist.
She said: "I have body dysmorphia so I am never going to be entirely happy with the way that I look. It is in my nature to find fault with some aspect of my appearance.
"But I am in the best shape of my life and I am as happy as I am ever going to be with my weight and body shape."

Emma Chawner, 2019
Fast forward 12 years since her first audition and Emma revealed after swapping junk food for a healthy lifestyle she dropped 12 stone in just two years.
Talking about why she was so eager to lose weight before the show, she explained: "The camera puts 10lbs on you and I knew that I really needed to get in shape for CBB. I have firmed up all over and feel good and will be much more comfortable in a bikini in the CBB house."
Bianca’s weight has fluctuated over the years, but she was at her heaviest before appearing on Celebrity Big Brother after working 14-day shifts at the Gaslight lap dancing club in London’s Mayfair, meaning she was unable to put as much time into taking care of her body as she previously did.
Working overnight saw her eat at the wrong times and snack on chocolate for an energy boost.
Bianca enlisted the help of the experts at Forza Supplements, who helped her develope an exercise regime and a diet which involved swapping two meals each day for Forza’s Shake It Slim.
Referring to the ‘before’ photograph she took to inspire her to lose weight, the reality star said: "I looked at that picture and felt sick. I was so out of shape. It was all the inspiration I needed.
Talking about her weight-loss journey, Bianca admitted: "My weight has always yo-yoed and it is a lot harder to stay in shape when you are working all night. My diet can be rubbish and it is difficult to summon up the energy to go to the gym when you have been working all night.
"I realised that I needed a total body overhaul which is why I was keen to work with the experts from Forza. I worked really hard in the six weeks before Celebrity Big Brother to get in fantastic shape.”
This isn’t the first time Bianca has given her body an overhaul - she previously had two £6,000 boob jobs to increase her size from a 34A to 34C at the age of 18 and from a 34C to a 34DD at 21.
She has also used Botox every six months for the last three years and is now more confident of her looks.
She said:"I am happy with my boobs now and don't plan to get them done again. My mum Sheryl wasn't happy when I had them done a second time but I wanted them bigger and I don't regret it all.
“I don't feel I am too young for Botox. I have been having it for the last three years. I see it as a preventative. I don't ever want to get wrinkles in the first place."
Bianca is an ambassador for Britain's leading weight loss firm Forza Supplements and she lost 19lbs in six weeks in the run-up to Celebrity Big Brother taking Forza Shake It Slim meal replacement drinks and Raspberry K2 supplements available from Forzadiet.com and Boots__.
