Love Island’s Shaughna Phillips showcases her incredible weight loss but jokes she looks a lump of ‘gammon’ after slipping back into VERY skimpy swimwear from her time on ITV show

Love Island’s Shaughna Phillips joked she looked like ‘gammon’ this week after slipping back into skimpy swimwear from her time on the ITV show.

The reality star, 30, who appeared on the series in 2020, showed off her dramatic weight loss when she took to Instagram after discovering a suitcase full of villa outfits that her mother had kept.

Telling followers, “I mean, first of all, I can’t believe some of these things I actually kept because I liked them! Like screaming, shaking, throwing up’.

Shaughna tried on a very revealing strapless yellow one with numerous cutouts that left little to the imagination.

The mother-of-one concluded that the outfit was so raunchy that it could even lead to the video being removed by Instagram for its nudity.

Laughing: ‘It looks like I can’t breathe. I look like this. Is it a pig?’

One follower commented: ‘Supermarket pork = gammon’, to which Shaughna replied: ‘That’s it!’.

Shaughna posted a sweet clip alongside a lengthy post in which she also hit back at trolls following her recent weight loss.

Writing: ‘LOVE ISLAND TRY ON HAUL – PART 1, If ​​you haven’t seen my stories the other day I came across an unpacked suitcase from Love Island’

‘I thought I’d try it on for the bants, and although I have no idea what my fashion sense is these days, I’m glad it evolved from this’

‘Ps can I just add a disclaimer, since I’ve been getting so many comments about my weight loss lately. If you feel like I’m being quiet about how I did or ignoring questions, I promise I won’t.”

“It has had such a huge response, and you all deserve the best step by step I can give you, just give me time, I promise it will be worth it.”

“Also for a few, please remember that I am still a person, the way I am spoken to in my comments and in my DMs is sometimes really upsetting, and if I may ask you nicely maybe just talk about me in your group chats instead of where I can actually see it, that would be great lol’.

In May, Shaughna showed off her weight loss in white underwear and a cropped gray T-shirt as she posed for an Instagram photo.

She admitted she had ‘shocked’ herself with her progress as she shared before and after comparison photos documenting the dramatic change.

The reality TV personality also recorded the original live version of the aftershot to prove that she had not edited or changed the image.

She admitted that she is “proud of herself” because she is in a much “better place” physically and mentally after focusing on her health for the past seven months.

Shaughna wrote, “So this happened… I’ll be honest even if I’m shocked.

‘So glad I took pictures because honestly when I look in the mirror I don’t see any difference, your mind is your worst enemy sometimes!

‘And although being accused of editing your photos when you actually haven’t done so is the biggest compliment EVER.

“I didn’t edit the photo on the right, so I thought I’d include the actual Live Photo for the doubters.

“I’ve been trying to get to a better place with my health, mentally and physically, for a while now, so I have to admit, I’m damn proud of myself today.

‘I’ve talked openly about struggling with my body image since I was a little girl (it breaks my heart to even say that), so to be told at a doctor’s appointment that I was seriously overweight wasn’t great.

“This didn’t happen overnight, and I still have a way to go. The truth is, there have been weeks where I found it so easy, and there have been months where I haven’t seen any change, so I’m really trying to find what works for me, and I think I’m almost there. .

“Today definitely feels like a victory. Even though I now only have one pair of jeans that fit me, my bank card considers this a loss.’

Shaughna revealed in the comments that it took her seven months to lose the weight, so she’s been doing it sensibly and slowly as she responded to fans who were amazed by her transformation.

She wrote: ‘It’s taken me 7 months so far, I still have a bit to lose so I’m guessing probably a year before I’ve lost what I want x’

Shaughna previously revealed she was ‘shocked to her core’ after visiting her GP for a health check.

The TV star revealed that a year after giving birth to her daughter Lucia, she was told she is now obese.

In a candid post shared to Instagram, Shaughna revealed that during a full body MOT check she was told she had ‘quite a lot of visceral fat around her major organs’.

According to Health Direct, this could lead to a range of potentially serious health problems in the future, such as heart attacks, diabetes and some cancers.

Speaking to her 1.4 million followers, she said: ‘It’s been a year since I had a baby so I wanted to see where I was after the birth.

‘They told me I was obese, which isn’t a shock, but it’s never nice to hear. After a few checks they said I had quite a lot of visceral fat around my organs.

“Now, I’m no Gillian McKeith, I’m not going to tell you what that means because I don’t really know.

“It’s actually fat around your major organs, which is serious because it can cause heart attacks.”

‘I’m a mother now and it shocked me to my core because I know I’m not the picture of health, but I didn’t realize things were so bad and it’s quite scary to hear it from a medical professional. ‘
