In a video, Joanne said: "My a*se is like a deflated whoopee cushion. Have I got the right people continuing to watch? Hopefully so."
Now she was speaking to people with the same weight loss problem, Joanne added: "My a*se has collapsed.
"It's picked up and it's left. I've lost four stone and it's goodbye, see you later."
Joanne said she had been told by multiple people to try the Halara leggings and finally caved in.

The leggings are specifically made to lift the bum and flatten the stomach with their ultrasculpt material.
And the leggings which cost £22 on the TikTok shop are loved by many with a rating of 4.5 out of five.
Even Joanna was a fan of the leggings as she put them on in the video and showed how they transformed her 'deflated whhoopee cushion' bum.
She said: "They lift and sculpt everything and just keep it where it should be. It's like a scaffold for your bum."

Joanne was thrilled with the leggings which gave her bum a lift with no squats and sucked her tummy in.
She added: "But if you're going to get them, which I suggest you do, make sure you have them in a variety of colours because when you go back to regular leggings, you're just going to be very disappointed."

Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of
Barbie
in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "Mine is sliding down my legs!"
"That happened to me, I lost 3 stone and my a*se fainted,' claimed a fifth
Someone else added: "I'm going to need some scaffolding leggings, you look great regardless."
