The former reality TV star is now worlds apart from her heaviest when she weighed over 17 stone and proudly showed off her body as she enjoyed some winter sunshine.
Chanelle had a smile on her face as she dipped her feet in the Mediterranean Sea.
Back by her lounger, she tied back her short brown hair to stop the breeze blowing it over her face and took smiley selfies.
The getaway comes weeks after Chanelle announced her new career venture with fiancé Dan.
The travel-loving pair jointly launched independent travel agency Jest Set with Chanelle Hayes earlier this year to run alongside Chanelle’s day job as an aesthetics practitioner and her nursing studies.
The mum-of-two has struggled with her body image in the past, but in recent years has made peace with it and is feeling happier than ever.

However, the student nurse said she “feels a million times better” since her surgery but still wants a tummy tuck to get rid of the loose skin on her stomach.
“I’m 8st now and a dress size 6-8. Last summer, I was around 9st 5lb and before having the sleeve fitted, I was a size 22 and 17st 4lb,” she told OK! magazine.
“I’ve actually been really stressed with university deadlines and the children’s schedules with schools and their dads, and I think that’s caused the weight loss.
“It means I’ve got more loose skin, so while I still feel a million times better than I did when I was unhealthy, I’m now thinking, ‘Maybe I want to do something about this,’ so I’m considering a tummy tuck.
“I feel like it’s ageing me a bit.”
Chanelle, who has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, said she was also considering a boob lift as she believes her breasts are “disfigured” following the weight loss.
