Chantelle Houghton looked incredible as she exhibited her four stone weight loss during her sun-soaked Tenerife getaway.
The former Big Brother winner, 39, displayed her slimmed-down figure in a white bikini as she took to the beach.
Causing her fellow holidaymakers to gawk and point, she sported a pair of tortoise-shell sunglasses and wore her brunette tresses over her shoulder.
Having hit 13 stone in 2021, the influencer overhauled her diet and exercise routine after splitting with her ex-fiancé Michael Strutt.
While speaking with OK! Magazine, Chantelle admitted she was motivated to get fit after being mistaken for a pregnant person.

Wow! The former Big Brother winner, 39, displayed her slimmed-down figure in a white bikini as she took to the beach
She said: ‘My tummy has always been my problem area. My limbs are like sticks, but the weight goes to my tummy and it’s always been the case.
‘People used to come up to me thinking I was pregnant. I was in a shop and a lady asked me when I was due, and then the same thing happened just weeks later.
‘It happened so many times that I just went along with it and brushed it off. It didn’t upset me because I knew I did look pregnant.’
Chantelle is now back in size eight clothes, but insisted she’s not on a strict diet. She credits her image overhaul to a healthier lifestyle and lots of walking.
Chantelle took to Instagram last month to reveal she is planning on being her ‘own Valentine’ this year because she is focusing on ‘self care and self love’.
The brunette beauty admitted she is her ‘own worst enemy’ and has ‘hated’ herself for years before finding herself in a lengthy social media post.
Chantelle, who has previously been targeted by vile trolls over her weight, said she is ‘finally in a place where I like myself’ again and has started to ‘heal’.
The TV personality showed off her slim figure as she flashed her toned midriff in a mirror selfie in a pair of black leggings and a blue cropped sports top.

She added a black bomber jacket to the casual look and styled her long brunette tresses in loose waves.
Chantelle wrote: ‘Be your own valentine….self care and self love is so important, I HATED myself for YEARS, I’d tell myself the most awful things, I was my own worst enemy.
‘I’m FINALLY in a place where I like myself, I’m ok, I’m doing great and healing. I’ve been through SO MUCH and the girl I see in the mirror NEEDS my kindness and I’m giving her that .
‘My healing journey has only just begun and I am so proud of myself for surviving what I went through and I am EXCITED for the future!! I’m LIVING instead of just SURVIVING!
‘Whatever you’re going through, take time for yourself, practice self care, meditate, read books, go for a walk, talk to friends, reach out, you are a SURVIVOR. I am NO longer a victim. I am a SURVIVOR’.
It comes after Chantelle ruled out ever having cosmetic surgery again at the end of last year – despite being tempted after she gained three and a half stone during lockdown.
She last went under the knife in 2016 when she had her breast implants removed, saying the original surgery was her ‘biggest regret’.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: ‘When I had my breast implants removed completely, I knew that was my very last cosmetic surgery. I made a promise to myself I’d only go under the knife again for medical reasons.’
The star said she promised herself she would not have surgery again except for medical reasons.
