Chanelle Hayes showed off her ‘saggy’ skin in a body positive bikini snap after losing eight stone.
The former Big Brother star has shared a snap that displays her “saggy” skin that was left after undergoing gastric sleeve surgery.
Chanelle dropped a huge eight stone in weight after the procedure that she underwent last summer.

Chanelle showed off her stretch marks as she told fans that she has a “saggy pair of boobs and baggy belly”.
Taking to social media, she told her fans and followers: “After years of hating my body for being too big, it’s now small enough that my skin looks saggy and baggy.
“I have four boobs because my implants are in one place and my actual skin and breast tissue are in another. I have stretch marks on practically every area of my body, cellulite is my constant companion no matter how big or small I may be at any given time.
“I didn’t love the look of my body then and I don’t love the look of my body now, but I DO love taking care of my body and the confidence that comes with being healthy.
Her Instagram caption continued: “I’m never going to look like the airbrushed images of people online, but does that mean I don’t have a bikini body? No. So I wanted to share my tips with you guys on how to get a ‘bikini body’: 1. Get a body. 2. Put a bikini on it, Voila! You have yourself a bikini body.
“Without waffling too much, I just wanted to mix up your Instagram feeds from the perfect online edited shots you’ll be viewing with a saggy pair of boobs and baggy belly taken by myself in my garden while being splashed by my son and avoiding stepping on dog treats. We are in this together ladies.”
Fans were loving Chanelle’s candid caption and photos, with many flocking to the comments section to praise the star and admire her progress.
One fan wrote: “Beautiful and that body has had children so what’s not to be proud of??”
Another said: “Respect to you – you look great.”
A third wrote: “Amen to that! Well said.”
While a fourth penned: “Hey your looking so good . Be proud , stand proud . You really have done amazing.”

Last week she appeared on Loose Women, where she revealed that her weight loss has allowed her to spend time with her children in a way she couldn’t previously.
She told the panel: “I do feel so much better, so much healthier and I’m able to do more. I can go trampolining with the kids. I can go and get involved in stuff.”
“Obviously I know we can’t do too much until the end of July with lockdowns… but I’ll be able to go and do more things and just feel healthier as a person.”
