She recently lost an impressive 4th place after a diet and body overhaul.
And Chantelle Houghton looked incredible as she enjoyed a trip to the beach while on holiday in Tenerife on Wednesday.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star, 39, slipped into a bright orange off-the-shoulder bikini that highlighted her toned midriff.
Chantelle let her dark brown locks fall loosely over her shoulders and worked on her tan as she relaxed on a beach chair.
The star, who worked as a Paris Hilton impersonator before she rose to fame, read the reality star’s new memoir Paris while soaking up the sun.

After hitting 13 bricks in 2021, the mother-of-one has revised her diet and exercise routine after splitting from her ex-fiancé Michael Strutt.
Chantelle recently told me OK! Magazine, she was motivated to get fit after being mistaken for a pregnant person.
She said, “My stomach has always been my problem area. My limbs are like sticks, but the weight goes to my stomach and always has been.
“People used to come up to me and think I was pregnant. I was in a store and a lady asked me when to come, and a few weeks later the same thing happened.
“It happened so often that I just went with it and brushed it off. It didn’t upset me because I knew I looked pregnant.”
She has revised her lifestyle and she is now down to a size 8 but insisted she is not on a strict diet.
Chantelle took to Instagram in February to reveal that she plans to be her “own Valentine” this year as she focuses on “self-care and self-love.”

It comes after Chantelle ruled out ever having another cosmetic procedure at the end of last year – despite being tempted after gaining three and a half stone during lockdown.
She last went under the knife in 2016 when she had her breast implants removed, saying the original surgery was her “biggest regret.”
Speak against The sun, she said: ‘Once I had my breast implants completely removed, I knew this was my very last cosmetic surgery. I promised myself I would only go under the knife again for medical reasons.’
The star said she promised herself she wouldn’t have any more surgery except for medical reasons.
