Chanelle Hayes looks incredible in plunging swimsuit as she showcases her 9st weight loss after quitting her nursing job to join OnlyFans

Chanelle Hayes showcased her incredible 9st weight loss as she posed in a swimsuit for a sizzling new snap shared on Thursday. 

The Big Brother star, 38, sizzled as she reclined in a hot tub while sporting a halterneck swimming costume and rocking full glam. 

Her latest saucy post comes after it was revealed that Chanelle had ditched her student nursing job in favour of a potentially lucrative career as an OnlyFans model after transforming her figure with the help of a gastric sleeve.

The star, who rose to fame as a contestant on Channel 4's Big Brother in 2007, has seen her weight yo-yo between seven and 17 stone over the past years.

In 2020, she decided to undergo a secret gastric sleeve operation as her 'last resort' after years of being unhappy with her weight.

Chanelle lost nine stone and dropped from a size 18 to a size 6, later declaring the surgery had 'changed her life' and that she had 'no regrets'.

After struggling with harmful eating habits and body image since she was a teenager, she said having a gastric band fitted allowed her to maintain a healthy size.

The procedure, which has also helped the likes of Vanessa Feltz and James Argent, reduces the size of the stomach by 70-85 per cent to restrict food intake, which helped Chanelle to gain back control.

But after her dramatic weight loss, the former lads' mags model was left with excess, saggy skin, causing further distress.

She underwent several surgeries to remove excess skin, plus a breast reduction and uplift, which saw her go from a G cup bra to a D.

However, in an exclusive chat with Daily Mail in July, Chanelle admitted that while she credits the gastric sleeve surgery for her newfound confidence, there are still areas of her body which make her feel insecure.

But she insisted that she was finally done with going under the knife, following two breast surgeries, multiple rounds of liposuction, and several procedures to tighten her loose skin.

Detailing her operations, she said: 'With my sleeve, they take about 70 per cent of your stomach out and leave you with, instead of it being like a round pouch, it is more like a sausage shape, it's massively decreased compared to a normal stomach, which means that I can't eat or drink as much.

'It's perfect for me because it's always been such a psychological thing, I automatically reach for anything.
