Posing up a storm with her hands behind her gorgeous walnut locks, she strolled along the seashore with a pair of black sunglasses over her head.
Opening up about her amazing new look, Chanelle told The Sun: ‘It wasn’t my goal to lose loads of weight but because I have been more mindful of my eating, I have lost half a stone through the MuscleFood Goal Getters plan over three weeks. It’s been so easy for me.’
The TV personality went on to note that she’s enjoyed being able to try a whole manner of difeferent foods, despite now having a smaller stomach.
She said: ‘I have really liked it. Obviously I have a small stomach now so I couldn’t finish all of it so because of that everyone else has been trying it. Because it’s packed full of protein it’s helped me with daily needs. With my operation you have got to make sure you eat your protein first, so MuscleFood is brilliant because it focuses on protein.’

On why she opted for the diet, she added: ‘I did it to make choices with my eating. It’s darker, the kids are at two different schools, I’m at uni and around that there are work placements and I run my own business so I literally have no time. So I thought I am just going to have something that is really easy for me.’
Before undergoing her surgery, the star revealed she took laxatives for 10 years and would only eat a tin of tomatoes in a bid to look ‘skinny like Victoria Beckham’ during her battle with yo-yo dieting.
In subsequent years, she found her weight creep up to 17stone 4lbs at her heaviest, after bingeing on Domino’s pizza, doughnuts and Coca Cola.
In an interview with The Sun in October, the mother-of-two shared how gastric sleeve surgery helped her curb her compulsive eating habits and develop a healthy relationship with food.

Reflecting on how fame exasperated her desire to be ‘skinny’, Chanelle recalled: ‘My life post Big Brother, my eating habits got worse, everyone I hung out with in London was even smaller than me, so I felt so big…
‘They all took drugs, which I guess explains why they were thin, but that was not something I was into. I was living in hotels and would not eat anything all day, if I got absolutely starving I would eat a tin of tomatoes with hot sauce, then take laxatives…
‘I thought I was setting myself up for this amazing life but in truth I was always on my own and it was so lonely.’
At 8.5 stone, Chanelle moved up north to Wakefield to live near family but found she had begun to binge on food when she fell pregnant with son Blakely, now 11.
The television personality found herself in a vicious cycle of overindulging on takeaways, feeling guilty and then trying to compensate for her actions by taking laxatives and over-exercising.

Yet three years later, a failed relationship and now a single mum to two boys, she found her food addiction ‘totally out of control’ and weighing 14.5stone.
Chanelle said: ‘People just thought I was greedy but I was beyond the point of control and my addiction was really taking hold. I decided to have gastric sleeve surgery in 2020 after going up to 17st 4lb.’
