Chanelle Hayes shows off her figure in a cut-out bikini during holiday to Tenerife after nine stone weight loss

Chanelle Hayes showed off her figure during a holiday to Tenerife over the weekend after her nine stone weight loss.
The former Big Brother star, 36, who appeared on the Channel 4 reality series in 2007, wore a cut-out bikini for a day at the pool.
She teamed the black two-piece with a pair of oversized sunglasses and styled her hair into loose curls.
Relaxing by the pool, Chanelle soaked up come sun before taking a shower outside.
She has candidly discussed her struggles with her body image over the years and admitted she wishes she could tell her younger self to 'enjoy every moment'.
At the height of her fame in 2009, Chanelle weighed 8.5 stone, barely ate and took laxatives to try and achieve a 'WAG body'.
In 2020, the reality star then had a secret gastric sleeve operation after she reached 17-stone.
Chanelle lost nine stone and dropped from a size 18 down to an eight, and has bravely shown her scars from the operation on her trips abroad.
She revealed the operation was a 'last resort' after years of being unhappy, opting to have the surgery at Burcot Hall Hospital in Worcestershire.
Last year, she took to social media to share before and after photos of her weight loss, adding that her operation had 'changed her life' and she had 'no regrets'.
She is known for her body positive posts and recently hit back at the idea of a 'summer body' as she insisted it's 'not the bikini size' that matters in an impowering message.
In June 2024, she wrote alongside a video of herself wearing bikinis over the years: 'What even is a summer body anyway?! I had a lovely time on every single one of these holidays and I ranged from size 6-18 (to pregnant!).
'I've chosen all blue bikinis because sometimes our body image makes us feel blue. I wish I could tell my younger self to just enjoy every single moment because it's the memories that counts. Not the bikini size.'
Elsewhere in recent weeks, Chanelle has marked a major achievement after qualifying to become a nurse in a major career change.

The star shared a throwback snap of herself dressed up as a nurse as a child alongside a photo of her recent graduation and her new uniform.
She wrote: 'I've been posting a lot less recently. It's not because I have nothing to say, I've been settling into a new job role that I have wanted for many years but didn't feel quite brave enough to do.
'Thankfully, my husband and parents were such rocks and provided unconditional love and support for me when I was struggling.
'My children have missed out on a few plans, we have limited our holidays to accommodate my studies.
'But they saw every single atom of the blood sweat and tears that I poured into my degree.
'This taught my children that people can say cruel things about their mum, but she was resilient.
'They heard people tell me to quit to do something easier, witnessed me working HARD and achieving a first class honours.'

She added: 'I carried so much guilt studying so hard when my kids needed me, but now I see that I taught them an important lesson.
'Whatever you strive for; work for it, stick at it, you will achieve it.'
Chanelle and her husband Dan Bingham tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in June of last year.
The TV personality shares her son Blakely, 11, with her ex-partner Matthew Bates, who she was in a relationship with between 2009 and 2010.
She also has Frankie, four, with Edward Oates, who she was with on-and-off from 2016 to 2017.

CBS viewers left shocked by risqué moment between Julie Chen Moonves and Big Brother contestant - following husband's sex scandal

CBS viewers were left stunned on Thursday night after Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves made a risqué, seemingly flirtatious comment to a male contestant during the live broadcast. The moment also triggered renewed scrutiny over her embattled legacy as the wife of disgraced former CBS chief Les Moonves, 75. The shocking exchange unfolded during just before a live vote and eviction on the reality TV show. It saw Chen Moonves check in with the house guests including black contestant Will Williams, a 50-year-old retired Army captain, who wanted to say hi to his wife on air. 'Shout out to my family and shout out to my babe and my chocolate drop, Gwen,' Will said. Chen Moonves, 55, smiling playfully, leaned into the moment - and then crossed a line that many viewers couldn't believe they'd just heard. 'Will, am I your lemon drop then?', Chen Moonves asked without missing a beat. The comment immediately set off pandemonium inside the Big Brother house. Williams stood up in shock while the gathered house guests all erupted with laughter. Chen Moonves appeared to recoil in embarrassment realizing what she'd just said. 'I'm just kidding. Settle down,' she said moments later, attempting to regain control as the contestants continued to howl with laughter. 'Tell your wife it was a joke! Now we have business…' Viewers on social media exploded with many stunned that Chen Moonves would have make such a remark to a married contestant on national television. Others questioned the racial implications of the 'lemon drop' comment, especially in the context of her husband's very public fall from grace following multiple sexual misconduct allegations. 'She said that on national TV!!! Someone's about to get real offended,' one user wrote on TikTok. 'The immediate regret in her voice and trying to walk it back - this is incredible,' another posted to X. 'My. Jaw. Dropped. It was so good,' wrote a third. 'Is this literally not racist cause lemon drops are yellow and…' a fourth asked bluntly. The retired Army Captain initially seemed to laugh off the comment made by Chen Moonves The viral moment, though just seconds long, immediately brought renewed attention to Chen Moonves's controversial past - and the scandal that forced her husband out of the network she still represents and broadcasts. Although she has attempted to distance herself from her husband's public disgrace, Chen Moonves remains inseparable in the public imagination from Les Moonves, the disgraced former CEO and chairman of CBS Corporation who was forced out in 2018, after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct spanning three decades. Moonves, once one of the most powerful executives in Hollywood, allegedly subjected women to groping, forced oral sex, and retaliation - charges he vehemently denies. At the time, Chen Moonves publicly backed her husband and even adopted her full married name - Julie Chen Moonves - on-air, in a move widely viewed as a symbolic declaration of loyalty while the CBS network distanced itself from the scandal. Behind the scenes, the fallout was personal with Chen Moonves ousted from The Talk chat show, a position she later said she didn't leave voluntarily. 'That was a hard time,' Chen told ABC News. 'I felt stabbed in the back. I was, you know? I don't know if I could've reconciled if I didn't have God in my life.' Les Moonves, the disgraced former CEO and chairman of CBS Corporation was forced out in 2018 after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct spanning three decades Chen Moonves has since turned to religion, publishing an audio memoir titled But First, God and leaning heavily into her faith as a way to reframe her public identity. 'Julie Chen before she found God was a self-absorbed, career-minded, vain, gossipy, fun to be with, but probably kind of a shallow person,' she confessed. 'Julie Chen Moonves, who now knows the Lord, is someone who wants to help others, who wants to look at everyone with a soft heart.' But Thursday night's lemon-drop flirtation seemed to break from that rebranded image - and reignited questions about her role as a public figure on a major network. Despite his ouster and years of legal wrangling, Moonves and CBS remain linked. In 2021, he gave up a $120 million severance package in a settlement with ViacomCBS. The company then declared the matter 'resolved.' Married in 2004, Julie and Les have remained together, raising their son Charlie. 'We leaned on each other and we knew that nothing could break us,' Chen Moonves told People while promoting her memoir last year. 'It was our love and our foundation that got us through.' Still, critics say Chen Moonves presence on Big Brother continues to raise ethical questions for CBS.

Will Best admits proposing to his fiancée while on holiday was a 'mistake'

After popping the all-important question to his long-term partner Tobi Rose last year, Big Brother presenter Will Best has now revealed why it was a mistake Will Best has revealed that it was a "mistake" proposing to his long-term girlfriend while they were on a romantic holiday last summer. ‌ Last July, the Big Brother presenter, 40, finally popped the question andproposed to his girlfriend of over a decade, stylist Tobi Rose. The TV star, who co-hosts the ITV reality TV show alongside AJ Odudu, got down on one knee to propose to his future wife during a romantic trip abroad and said at the time that he couldn't wait to "celebrate making it down the aisle". ‌ Will, who first gained fame co-hosting TV show T4 before landing the Big Brother gig last year, took Tobi on a romantic trip to Italy and proposed in the stunning setting of Tuscany. ‌ At the time of their engagement, a friend close to Will said: "It's been a long time coming, but Will and Tobi are finally engaged." They added: "Naturally, they are both overjoyed and can't wait to celebrate making it down the aisle." Despite the romantic gesture, Will has now revealed that proposing while on holiday with Tobi wasn't the best idea in the grand scheme of things. The TV star had revealed that he and his future wife have yet to even start planning their wedding, one year after the romantic engagement. ‌ However, after popping the question to Tobi in Tuscany, Will has revealed that his other half is dead set on tying the knot in Italy too. Speaking about why his engagement could have been a mistake, Will joked: "It was lovely. It was really nice. The only problem is now my fiancé is like, 'oh, let's get married in Tuscany too. But that just sounds expensive," he told Mail Online. While Will is in no rush to walk down the aisle and say his 'I do's', Tobi can't wait to become his blushing bride after being in a relationship with the TV star for over a decade. ‌ Speaking in the new interview, Will joked that he told Tobi about a segment he previously did while working on Hits Radio. Will and his team spoke to several couples who waited years before actually tying the knot after getting engaged. One couple even waited a whopping 32 years after their engagement. Will also admitted that he's the kind of person to take things slow in a relationship, even confessing that he and Tobi didn't take their first holiday abroad until 11 years into their relationship. ‌ "We'd done a decade without a proper holiday, because we're both freelancers, and every time I booked a holiday, work would come up, or every time something would happen which meant I couldn't do it," he revealed. "So we would holiday sporadically and briefly - lots of city breaks, lots of weekends away, which is still great, but your long, fully unplugged holiday, that took us a long time. Also, because I travel a lot with work, it kind of always felt like my my travel itch was being scratched all the time, and she travels a lot with work as well, like she goes on shoots abroad for weeks at a time." ‌ When it comes to his personal life, Will likes to keep it under wraps generally, but he has shared some glimpses into his relationship on social media. He and Tobi share a beautiful home as well as an adorable pet dog. The couple don't yet have any children. On one of their anniversaries, Will posted a gorgeous picture of the two of them commemorating the significant milestone and gushed about how much Tobi means to him. At the time, he penned: "Twelve years ago today I met this truly one in a 7.88 billion human being. She was even my first ever Instagram post. "And if you scroll right you'll see that, as well as being the love of my life, she's also frighteningly true to her word." Accompanying the romantic post, he shared another picture featuring a comment from Tobi circled from the old photo, saying: "I'll never leave you."

Spacey told actor ‘don't worry about it' after alleged assault, documents claim

Kevin Spacey allegedly sexually assaulted a young actor at a party at The Savoy hotel and then told him 'Don't worry about it', court documents for the High Court legal claim suggest. Ruari Cannon is suing Mr Spacey as well as two organisations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London, claiming he suffered psychiatric damage as a result of sexual and emotional abuse. The 33-year-old has waived his anonymity in the claim. In court documents seen by the PA news agency, Mr Cannon alleges that Mr Spacey, who was a 'powerful figure and a world-famous actor and celebrity' at the time, assaulted him in about June 2013, when he was 'a very vulnerable young man'. Oscar-winning actor Mr Spacey has previously denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour and wrongdoing, and details of his defence are not yet available. According to the documents, filed in June, Mr Spacey was working as artistic director at the Old Vic Theatre at the time of the alleged assaults on a production of a play by Tennessee Williams known as Sweet Bird Of Youth, and Mr Cannon was a member of the cast in this production. They claim that Mr Spacey 'took a particular interest' in Mr Cannon for 'reasons of sexual interest' and sent him a 'lavish' gift of a framed poster of the 1985 production of the play directed by Harold Pinter. After the press preview of the show on June 12 2013, Mr Cannon attended a party at The Savoy in London organised by The Old Vic Theatre Company (The Cut) and The Old Vic Theatre Trust 2000. It is claimed that one of the alleged assaults took place at the event. Setting out the allegations, Elizabeth-Anne Gumbel KC, for Mr Cannon, said: 'Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant towards him, turned him around through 45 degrees and placed his left hand on the claimant's buttocks and lifted up the recess material of his suit.' It is alleged that Mr Spacey then pushed Mr Cannon's underwear 'as far up' into his bottom as possible, 'so as to cause pain and distress'. Ms Gumbel added: 'Mr Kevin Spacey pulled the claimant closer to him and whispered into the claimant's ear 'Don't worry about it'. 'Mr Spacey made more uncalled for and unwelcome advances to the claimant during the evening.' The following day, Mr Cannon reported the alleged assaults to his stage manager at the Old Vic Theatre, but no action was taken. According to the documents, it is accepted that Mr Cannon did not ask for any action to be taken, and was scared about how any further action might affect his career. Later that year, during the run of the show, Mr Cannon saw Mr Spacey at the Old Vic bar. Mr Spacey allegedly said to him, 'I hear you have a dirty secret', and then said: 'Open up.' Ms Gumbel said: 'Kevin Spacey then forced open the claimant's mouth with his fingers and thumbs and commented 'quite a bad boy' before the claimant could pull away. 'The claimant then left the bar. The forcing open of the claimant's mouth was another assault for which Kevin Spacey was responsible and for which the second and/or third defendants were vicariously liable. 'Further in 2017 when the Old Vic set up a confidential complaints email on October 31 2017 the claimant reported the above complaint again to the Old Vic.' She added that the alleged assaults were carried out by Mr Spacey in the course of his work for the organisations connected to the Old Vic, and they are 'vicariously liable' for the alleged assaults carried out in the context of a theatre production.
