Chanelle Hayes has spoken out about her changing figure this week, revealing she's happier than ever as she shows off fuller curves following a six stone weight gain.

But it's not been an easy road to happiness - as just two years ago she admitted: "If I carried on the way I was going, I could end up dead."

The former model and Big Brother star was snapped showing off her fuller curves on the beach in Spain recently , after battling to control her weight in recent years.

After shedding four stone in 2014, dropping to a size eight and just eight stone, she has since gained six stone in recent months - but now says she's happy.

Speaking this week, as she posed up naked for a magazine shoot, she told Closer: "I'm really embracing my body - why should there be so much emphasis on weight?"

Here we look back at her yo-yo dieting and confidence through the years:Chanelle shot to fame in Big Brother in 2007 - where she revealed at the time that she was a size eight.

The star was aged just 19 at the time, and began a relationship with fellow housemate Ziggy Lichman - seemingly confident and happy.

Following her stint on the show, she appeared in magazine and newspaper shoots, stripping off as she kick-started a career in modelling.

In November that year, she was voted the second Sexiest Female Housemate Ever, losing to Imogen Thomas.Following a string of TV appearances, as well as a regular magazine column and even a stab at a singing career, Chanelle took some time out from the limelight, before revealing a curvier figure in the years that followed.

In September 2013, she admitted she no longer felt 'comfortable' in her clothes.

She told Now magazine: "Food can be an abused substance, especially carbs and processed foods. It's addictive, especially when you're depressed.Some people take drugs to get a high - it's the same for me with food."

At her lowest following her weight gain, Chanelle admitted in 2014: "The doctors told me I had a body fat percentage of 43 per cent and I was showing symptoms of type 2 diabetes, such as being thirsty loads, urinating all the time and feeling exhausted."I knew how drastic these symptoms were and that if I carried on the way I was going, I could end up dead. I’m a mother and have too much to lose."

After embarking on a huge health kick, she dropped from a size 16 to a size eight in 2014, showing off the results of her extreme weight loss on social media.Since then, she has showed off a curvier figure once again, and was snapped last year in a skimpy bikini on the beach.
