37-year-old Katie Johnston was rejected by her groom for "not being what he wanted" and she continued to face cruel trolling over her weight online.
It forced that star to seek a quick fix and she openly turned to fat jabs to drop the pounds.
Now, the star has flaunted her new figure in a skintight blue dress.
Katie looked more glam than ever in the gorgeous snap as she opened up on how she was finally feeling better and healthier than ever before.
Taking to Instagram to discuss her weight journey, she said in a lengthy post: "What this moment represents is something so much deeper.
"Through the hardest seasons of my life, I've come out the other side wiser, stronger, and more resilient than ever.
"For the first time in my self-love journey, I've turned my attention to my physical health - not for approval, but for me.
"Today, I am officially healthy. My DEXA scan says I'm free from dangerous visceral fat, strong in both muscle and bone, and thriving instead of just surviving."
She then detailed how exactly she dropped the weight and transformed her look with training and fat jabs.
Katie wrote: "Transparency is my thing so…Weight loss jabs - but we want fat to go not muscle sooooo use @glo_up_1 for the symptoms and the huge protein dose so the body goes after FAT not MUSCLE.
MAFS Australia signs up 'wildest ever bride' for upcoming series as explosive new episodes start filming
"Weight training 3 times a week to turn the protein into muscle for longevity and that will mean burning fat at rest - use a PT at first for technique and if you can't keep going use free videos online."
She then detailed how walking, eating the right foods and watching her protein were all super important on her journey.
The auburn-haired star, 37, found fame on Married At First Sight's most recent series, where fans were quick to call out her groom Tim Gromie's cruel conduct.
MAFS fans watched in horror as school teacher Tim brutally rejected Katie Johnston just minutes after they said I Do - as he insisted she was nothing like what he "would have wanted".

"It's not good. I normally go just short, blonde. petite.
"Katie is like nothing that I would normally go for."

Strictly star Wynne Evans confirms split from fiancée only weeks after proposal
Former Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans has confirmed that he has split from fiancée Liz Brookes – only weeks after popping the question. The Welsh opera singer, 53, began dating events manager Liz, 50, last year, and proposed while on holiday in Morocco this June. Sharing a snap of himself popping the question to a stunned-looking Liz, Wynne announced via Instagram: 'Big news… I got engaged! 💍' Fast-forward a few weeks, and he and Liz have now apparently broken up. Taking to Facebook Live on Saturday morning, he described himself as more 'level-headed' than he'd been in years after 'having been in a bad place or a relationship that's not healthy for me.' Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. 'It's now calm,' he said, seemingly confirming the end of the relationship. Wynne's split from Liz was confirmed by a source for The Daily Mail, who said: 'Wynne and Liz broke off their engagement a few weeks ago.' The publication's source credits the 'pressure' of the new restaurant he has decided to open in his hometown of Carmarthen. He will also be starting his own radio show, set inside the restaurant. The Mail's source continued: 'The pressure of his new business ventures took its toll and they had a big fallout. Initially, there was a belief they would get back together when the ill-feeling died down, as they had split before and managed to patch things up. 'But with Wynne actively trying to date again and going public describing the relationship as 'not healthy', it's safe to say they've split for good this time.' Wynne and Liz first met when he performed at a corporate function for the firm where she worked. She was an audience regular at Strictly, where she watched him perform and cheered him on. They began dating after his divorce from his wife of 17 years, Tanwen Evans, with whom he shared daughter Ismay and son Taliesin. Liz stuck by the Go Compare frontman throughout the scandal which followed his Strictly appearance and live show controversy. They were initially reported to have split after he was caught joking about a 'spit roast' or 'threesome' with Strictly Live presenter and professional dancer Janette Manrana, 41. A source told The Sun that Liz had been 'humiliated by what happened when he was on Strictly'. This insider continued: 'She always knew he was a bit old school, and actually liked the fact he seemed rough round the edges. She just assumed it was all part of his charm.' They added: 'It's not clear exactly when they split, but friends say that when his latest lewd gaffe was revealed at the Strictly Live Tour launch she was relieved they were no longer together.' However, another source later told The Mirror that Liz was 'rallying around' Wynne, leaving him 'appreciative of all the love and support he is getting.' He apologised soon after being dumped from the Strictly Live tour, describing himself as 'deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate action caused.' During an appearance on ITV's This Morning, he described himself at his 'lowest ebb' over the scandal – which also included accusations of 'inappropriately touching' professional dance partner Katya Jones. Wynne and Katya addressed the furore as a 'silly joke' gone wrong, but Wynne was beset with more controversy, first after the 'spit roast' incident, and then again after mucking around with a sex toy in a video with EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick. 'I wanted to end my life. I would have if I hadn't been surrounded by people,' he said to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard. 'I remember saying to my girlfriend, 'I have to kill myself. I have to because this is what they want.' 'You're full of these thoughts the entire time and it takes over your life.' In June, Wynne proposed to Liz while on holiday in Morocco. Announcing the news, he shared: 'This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz — and she said yes! (No take-backs, I've checked.) 'She's clever, she's kind, she's got excellent taste in men. Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are! Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug.' The post also included a photo of their hands holding glasses of champagne, with Liz wielding her engagement ring. A source told The Sun: 'It has been a tumultuous six months for Wynne, but Liz has been his absolute rock throughout. More Trending 'Finally, some wonderful news for Wynne and his inner circle to celibate and everyone is chuffed for them both. 'He secretly bought an engagement ring and squirrelled it away for their holiday and then popped the question over champagne.' They added: 'Liz has been incredible over the past few months, supporting him through thick and thin, and had his back throughout, but obviously Wynne is telling everyone she's a lucky girl!' has reached out to Wynne Evans' representative for comment.

Love Island star reveals 'crazy' link to Liam Gallagher after being dumped from villa
A dumped Love Island favourite has revealed their impressive links to Liam Gallagher and his niece Anais Gallagher after being axed from the villa Former Love Island contestant Tommy Bradley has revealed he once carried out gardening work at the home of Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher. Tommy, 22, was dumped from the ITV2 dating series alongside Lucy Quinn nearly three weeks ago. Speaking on GK Barry's Saving Grace podcast, the Hertfordshire landscape gardener explained that before joining the show, his work often took him to celebrity properties. 'When I tell people I do gardening, it doesn't sound as good,' he said. 'But we'd go to footballers' houses and celebrities.' It comes after dumped Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke took a brutal swipe at Harry and Shakira after being axed from the island for a second time. Asked who the most famous client was, Tommy replied: 'Liam Gallagher. I'm a massive Oasis fan and there was a point when a company I joined used to do his maintenance like cut his grass, cut back hedges, general tidy‑up.' Tommy said his stint with the company coincided with Gallagher temporarily leaving the property. 'I joined that company when he moved out for building work. His house was being renovated and he moved to the Cotswolds,' he explained. 'I was only there for three months, just for the summer, and when I left, he moved back in. I was actually gutted." Although he did not meet Gallagher during that time, Tommy said he has since had an indirect connection to the famous family. He revealed Noel Gallagher's daughter, Anais, had commented on one of his TikTok posts. 'I was buzzing,' he said. 'I then went on Instagram and saw she follows me, so I followed her back. She sent a video of Noel and Liam on stage and I messaged her like, 'Counting down the days.'' Tommy said the exchange ended there, but he has plans to see Liam Gallagher perform later this year. 'I'm going in September at Wembley,' he said. 'She asked me what show I'm going to and I told her. She liked the message but that's all it's been left at.' The gardener appeared on the summer 2025 series of Love Island and has became known for his romance with fellow contestant Lucy Quinn before the pair were eliminated. Since leaving the villa, he has been discussing his life before reality TV and the unusual celebrity encounters he experienced through his gardening work. It comes after Tommy's love interest Lucy finally addressed her viral voicenote following her exit from the Love Island villa. The makeup artist, 21, faced backlash when a message she had sent to a friend before entering the ITV2 reality show as a Bombshell was leaked. In the 37-second recording, fans heard her plan to couple up with Tommy - who at that point had just finished dating Megan Forte Clarke - as a supposedly guaranteed way to make it to the final, and was grilled by host Maya Jama on the incident during an appearance on Sunday's Aftersun. She explained: "So obviously, like, we probably have all done it, like, sent voice notes to friends and obviously, I really did trust that friend. "So, with the Tommy situation, I was just saying that he's a very nice boy and, like, that's why I wanted to get to know him." Insisting that she did not intend for the message to come across as a game plan to win, she said: "I did say 'Til the end', but it weren't like, the final, obviously, I was meaning, like, I wanted to be with him in the future. Someone with really good morals and stuff like that. The Liverpudlian also used her airtime to insist that Tommy is a boy her father approved of, and profusely apologised to Megan, whom she had labelled a "f***king little slapper" but insisted she is not normally the type of person who would say that. She added: "And, also, before going on the show, my dad did say to me, like, 'He's the kind of boy I'd like you to bring home because he's just very respectful. And then, obviously, talking about Meghan as well, I should never have commented on someone who I've never met before. So I do really apologise about that, I'm actually not that type of girl. " Lucy claimed that the whole scandal has "been blown out of proportion" and that she didn't expect everyone to hear the voice note in the first place. In response, Maya told her: "That's definitely not a good friend, I hope you blocked her after that" and Lucy confirmed that she is no longer in contact with the person who leaked the voice note.

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes share loved-up posts as her ex takes a swipe amid new romance
JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes paid tribute to each other in posts on social media this week following the news that her ex-partner Kath Ebbs has begun a new romance themself Former Celebrity Big Brother co-stars Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa paid tribute to each other in posts shared this week. It comes after the dancer's ex-partner Kath Ebbs went public with their own new romance just a few days ago. JoJo, 22, and Chris, 32, grew close whilst on the reality TV show in April. It was later announced that she had dumped her partner Kath, 27, at the afterparty and JoJo has kept fans updated on her relationship with Chris since then. The couple have given fans insights into their life together in recent months and this week teased that singer JoJo is now officially the former Love Island star's 'girlfriend'. It comes after Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones split as he joins a notorious dating app on a lads' holiday. JoJo and her partner posted about their relationship yesterday to mark National Girlfriends Day, which is said to be about friendship, but is also considered by some to be a holiday for couples and romantic relationships. Chris shared a photo on Instagram that showed them cosied up together, with him writing in the caption of the post: "This is my GF." Chris shared a series of posts on Snapchat for the occasion too, including him having uploaded several photos of the pair together. Alongside one of the photos, he wrote in a caption: "National GF day so here so is, my universe." JoJo also celebrated the occasion on social media. Over a photo of Chris cuddled up with her on a sofa, she wrote in a post on Instagram earlier this week: "Happy national girlfriends Day to me." She added: "Lucky lucky girl I am." The posts comes after JoJo's ex-partner Kath went public with their own new relationship on Thursday. They revealed on Instagram that morning that they are now dating Tilly Lucas-Rodd, 29, following their split from JoJo back in April. Kath looked loved-up with Tilly, who plays in the AFL Women's division of the Australian Football League, in a photo that showed them in a photobooth. It was shared by Kath on the platform alongside a caption about love. Alongside the photo, Kath seemed to take a swipe over their experience dating JoJo. In the caption that accompanied the photo two days ago, they wrote to their followers: "The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!" Kath's post has now amassed almost 20,000 likes on the platform and fans shared excitement in the comments section. One person wrote: "Ah yes! Things we love to see!" Another said: "The happy ending you deserve (and we all wanted!)." The news comes just months after Kath announced that JoJo had dumped them at a Celebrity Big Brother afterparty in April. Kath said: "I flew here and I went to the live show to show up for my partner and support them in their experience and then obviously later on address my feelings of like hurt and work through them like all relationships do." Kath added: "[I] was dumped in the party. I was told that there are confused feelings there - do with that what you will - and that they realised in the house that I wasn't the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable [with]." JoJo addressed the situation on This Morning shortly afterwards, saying: "That was not a plan. That was not an intention. That was not supposed to happen like that. Initially I was told that y'know the wrap party was something they didn't want to attend." She added: "Then about an hour into the wrap party they decided they wanted to. And so I was genuinely just gonna have a conversation before and then it just led to another. They straight up asked me if I was happy and I said no. And one thing led to another and that conversation did take place there."
