Chanelle Hayes showed off her incredible figure in a bikini as she relaxed on a luxury yacht.

The former Big Brother star, 36, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a snap from a recent sun-soaked holiday after returning from Tenerife in recent days.

She put her jaw-dropping frame on display in a stylish yellow two-piece as she posed up a storm on the back of a boat.

Chanelle styled her brunette tresses loosely across her shoulders and showed off her stunning features with a natural make-up look.

In a caption, she promoted her travel business, which sees her mentor others ‘to gain financial freedom’, according to her Instagram profile.

She penned: ‘Office views: Ocean edition. This could be your normal workday too—because who said business has to be boring? Ready to make this your reality? Let’s chat!’

Chanelle has candidly discussed her struggles with her body image over the years and admitted she wishes she could tell her younger self to ‘enjoy every moment’. 

At the height of her fame in 2009, Chanelle weighed 8.5 stone, barely ate and took laxatives to try and achieve a ‘WAG body’.

In 2020, the reality star then had a secret gastric sleeve operation after she reached 17-stone.

Chanelle lost nine stone and dropped from a size 18 down to an eight, and has bravely shown her scars from the operation on her trips abroad.

She revealed the operation was a ‘last resort’ after years of being unhappy, opting to have the surgery at Burcot Hall Hospital in Worcestershire.

Last year, she took to social media to share before and after photos of her weight loss, adding that her operation had ‘changed her life’ and she had ‘no regrets’.

She is known for her body positive posts and recently hit back at the idea of a ‘summer body’ as she insisted it’s ‘not the bikini size’ that matters in an impowering message.

In June 2024, she wrote alongside a video of herself wearing bikinis over the years: ‘What even is a summer body anyway?! I had a lovely time on every single one of these holidays and I ranged from size 6-18 (to pregnant!).

‘I’ve chosen all blue bikinis because sometimes our body image makes us feel blue. I wish I could tell my younger self to just enjoy every single moment because it’s the memories that counts. Not the bikini size.’

Elsewhere in recent weeks, Chanelle has marked a major achievement after qualifying to become a nurse in a major career change. 

The star shared a throwback snap of herself dressed up as a nurse as a child alongside a photo of her recent graduation and her new uniform.

She penned: ‘I’ve been posting a lot less recently. 

‘It’s not because I have nothing to say, I’ve been settling into a new job role that I have wanted for many years but didn’t feel quite brave enough to do. 

‘Thankfully, my husband and parents were such rocks and provided unconditional love and support for me when I was struggling. 

‘My children have missed out on a few plans, we have limited our holidays to accommodate my studies. 

‘But they saw every single atom of the blood sweat and tears that I poured into my degree.

‘This taught my children that people can say cruel things about their mum, but she was resilient. 

‘They heard people tell me to quit to do something easier, witnessed me working HARD and achieving a first class honours. 

‘I carried so much guilt studying so hard when my kids needed me, but now I see that I taught them an important lesson. 

‘Whatever you strive for; work for it, stick at it, you will achieve it.’

Chanelle and her husband Dan Bingham tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in June of last year.

The TV personality shares her son Blakely, 11, with her ex-partner Matthew Bates, who she was in a relationship with between 2009 and 2010.

She also has Frankie, four, with Edward Oates, who she was with on-and-off from 2016 to 2017.
