Chanelle Hayes Displays Nine Stone Weight Loss in Bikini After Leaving Nursing for OnlyFans

Chanelle Hayes shows off her nine stone weight-loss in a blue bikini after reportedly quitting her job as a nurse to launch an OnlyFans page.

The TV personality, 37, looked sensational in the triangle two-piece as she soaked up the sun on a sun lounger in a swimming pool.

Chanelle, who has escaped the freezing UK temperatures at an unknown location, showed off her amazing figure as she modelled the eye catching bikini. 

Styling her brunette tresses loose, the reality star held her hands over her head while looking to the side shocked.  

She wrote: ‘When you’re trying to shoot but just heard the latest tea’. 

It comes as Chanelle quit being a nurse after one year as she felt under too much pressure to give her patients the proper care and attention they needed.

A source told The Sun: ‘After years of study and dedication, Chanelle has made the difficult decision to step away from her nursing career.

‘Nursing was a path she pursued out of a genuine desire to care for others, but over time, she found herself increasingly frustrated by the lack of time she could spend with patients.

‘The emotional strain of not being able to give the level of care she wanted eventually became too much to bear.’

The source added that Chanelle received ‘countless messages and requests’ from fans, who have followed her since her modelling days, to join OnlyFans.

Daily Mail has contacted Chanelle’s representative for comment.

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

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

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 poach, 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. It’s been good to have that physical barrier there, and from that, I lost a lot of weight quite quickly.

‘My breasts were droopy, my stomach was, well, in fact, my stomach was ripped to bits. Half of my abs were on one side, and the other half were on the other, but that was because of pregnancy.

‘When they did my skin removal, they put my muscles back together to help strengthen my core, so I’ve had that done as well.’

She went on: ‘On a regular day, I am feeling great, I am so happy that I had the sleeve done, and then I had some skin removal surgery after that, and my breast implants changed.

‘Although I feel much more confident, I would still like my arms to be tighter, but I don’t want to have the surgery.

‘For me, I would rather feel 90 per cent with my body and not undergo another operation. There is always room for improvement, but who looks in the mirror and thinks they’re perfect.’

Chanelle, who famously modelled her image on Victoria Beckham, explained that her complex relationship with food is triggered by how she feels in her everyday life, which was emphasised in the weeks leading up to her wedding last year.

She said: ‘I have always been an emotional eater, so when I was celebrating, I would go out for dinner, when I was commiserating, I would eat, if I was upset, happy, it’s always been a thing… it didn’t even just develop; it has always been there for me.

‘At my lightest, I got really stressed last year before the wedding, and I went down to seven stone, which was horrific. I looked ill.

‘Now I am back up at about 50kg, which is around eight or nine stone. I was 17.8 stone during the Covid years, so I have lost a lot altogether.’

And after growing up fixated by Victoria and aspiring to have a figure which resembled the Spice Girls, Chanelle insisted there is still no escape from the pressures of having to conform to beauty body standards today.

She said: ‘I’ve had these feelings since I was a teenager, and more so when I left high school and started college.

‘The magazines were all circling normal and healthy-looking women, and it made me think if Kate Moss can’t have cellulite, then how can I? Now that is amplified, everywhere you look.

‘I have experienced trolling, God yes, but I don’t read the comments anymore. I live in my own world, and everyone’s always going to have an opinion. It doesn’t matter if there’s 100 positive comments, if you see one negative, it’s so easy to stick onto that.

‘I would advise people to not look. It’s just so much harder now because everything is online and bleeping through to their phones. The girls on Love Island get picked to shreds.’

Last summer, Chanelle tied the knot with accountant Dan Bingham in an intimate ceremony, attended by her two sons.

The TV personality shares 15-year-old Blakely with ex-footballer Matthew Bates, whom she was in a relationship with between 2009 and 2010, and Frankie, eight, with PE teacher Ryan Oates, whom she was with on-and-off from 2016 to 2017.

She’s also now a stepmother to Dan’s daughter, Amelia, 17, and the family lives together in Yorkshire, where Chanelle recently trained as a nurse.
