Chanelle Hayes shares two bikini pictures from different angles
‘Don’t let someone’s edited snaps ruin your reality’: Chanelle Hayes shares two bikini photos from different angles as she urges fans to stop comparing themselves to others
She has been very open about her weight struggles over the years and underwent gastric sleeve surgery in August 2020 after weighing 17 stone.
And on Sunday, Chanelle Hayes, 35, shared two different bikini snaps taken minutes apart to show some “realness” on her social media feed.
The former Big Brother star shared a photo of her sitting up.
And another one where she slumped a bit, taken from what she thought was a less flattering angle to show how people can make images look like the best versions of themselves.
But Chanelle didn’t want her followers to see her gorgeous photos and feel bad about themselves — even though she looked beautiful in both photos.

Difficult: The mother-of-two previously admitted she was in a ‘really bad place’ with finding a healthy relationship with food and ended up going down the surgery route
She wrote, “Don’t let someone’s edited snapshot they share on their social media ruin your reality.
Back to school/work/uni tomorrow so I haven’t spent my day scrolling thinking someone else’s body is better than mine, someone else’s house is bigger than mine, someone else’s yard is fancier than the mine. I just enjoyed the day.
“Hopefully this helps to confuse your feed with a bit of realness!!”
Chanelle is engaged to Dan Bingham. The TV personality met her beau in 2021 and got engaged a year later in April 2022.
She shares her son Blakely with her ex-partner Matthew Bates, with whom she had a relationship between 2009 and 2010.
Chanelle also has son Frankie with Edward Oates, who she dated from 2016 to 2017.
The TV star had her stomach surgery in 2020, dropping from a size 18 to a size 10.
She explained at the time that the surgery was a “last resort” after years of battling with her weight.

Chanelle often speaks candidly to her fans about what’s going on in her life and earlier this month opened up about who she was in a heartfelt post.
She wrote, “I’ve noticed my followers have been up lately so I wanted to say hi and introduce myself! I’m Chanel! I’ve had a “colorful” life so far.
“My mother died when I was very young, so I was adopted into a wonderful family, but I still see my biological family. I’ve been on #bigbrother UK, modeled all over the world and put on TV shows and released a song. Then I had two beautiful children.
She continued, “I have volunteered as a caregiver, I am currently studying a full-time nursing degree, I am a certified advanced beautician and I have also started a new travel agency!
‘I have ME and arthritis, anxiety and depression, but I have a very happy life with my boys, my stepdaughter, my fiancé and my dogs (Walter and Trish). To conclude the very honest post, Chanelle said, “I like to keep my Instagram real and not show a perfectly skewed view of things.” Hope you enjoy!!’
