From Jesy Nelson to Khloé Kardashian, meet the celebrities who dealt with heartbreak by getting a killer revenge body

GONE are the days of sitting on the sofa in self-pity, shovelling crisps into your mouth post-break-up.

These ladies are championing the revenge bod…

Jesy Nelson, 25

Relationship body Size 12

Break-up body Size 8

Revenge is sweet The Little Mix star was always the curvy one of the band, and admitted body-shaming trolls reduced her to tears. However, since her split from fiancé Jake Roche late last year, Jesy has transformed her body. She’s ditched her trademark baggy tops and trousers for crop tops and skinny jeans to flaunt her killer abs and thighs. She recently revealed her transformation is down to heartbreak-curing gym sessions. You look fab, Jesy, but please don’t lose all your curves!

Jennifer Lopez, 47

Revenge is sweet When her five-year relationship with toy boy dancer Casper Smart ended in August 2016, what did J.Lo do? Dive head-first into a giant bag of crisps? Not our Jenny from the block. Instead, she turned her attention to sculpting an incredible revenge bod. A source said at the time: “J.Lo wants her body to look better than ever now that she is single again. She is after that revenge body but she won’t have to work too hard to get it, since she’s pretty much there already.” No stranger to the gym, Jen upped her workouts with celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, which include arm weights and “butt and thigh moves which incorporate the core.” While her diet includes quinoa milk in the morning, salmon with salad for lunch, Puerto Rican pork for dinner and strictly no caffeine.

Britney Spears, 35

Revenge is sweet Following her split from producer Charlie Ebersol in June 2015, Britney set about regaining the figure that we first saw her debut in that schoolgirl outfit in her Hit Me Baby One More Time video back in 1998. On top of performing at her Las Vegas residency, the secret to her hot new bod included yoga and interval training, plus a diet of egg whites and wholemeal toast.

Charlotte Crosby, 26

Revenge is sweet When Mitch Jenkins dumped her by text in September 2014, we waited to see if Charlotte would drown her sorrows in booze followed by a greasy kebab (her staple Geordie Shore diet). Instead, she got even in the form of her amazing body, shedding 2¹/₂st in seven months. Pretty impressive for a girl who used to drink pints of Baileys. Her transformation – through exercise and overhauling her diet – led to her landing her own fitness DVD Charlotte’s 3 Minute Belly Blitz.

Khloé Kardashian, 32

Relationship body Size 14

Break-up body Size 10

Revenge is sweet Khloé’s mantra is: “Looking great is always the best revenge.” So after splitting from her basketball star husband Lamar Odom (above) in 2013, and James Harden in 2016, she channelled her heartbreak both times into overhauling her figure. Since losing 3st, Khloé has flaunted her physique in figure-hugging outfits. She says it’s down to 5am gym workouts and protein shakes. Khloé’s now loved-up with basketball player Tristan Thompson. Take that, heartbreakers!

Sam Faiers, 26

Revenge is sweet They were Essex’s answer to Romeo and Juliet, so when Sam split from Joey Essex (right) in June 2013, we were gutted. But it proved to be just the motivation Sam needed to whip her body into even more amazing shape. The reality star shed almost 2st and dropped a dress size in six months through a healthy diet of oats, fish and veg. She also used a slimming supplement, as well as interval strength training using a kettlebell. Plus, wine was swapped for slimline G&Ts on nights out with the TOWIE girls. “I don’t want to be really skinny and bony,” Sam said. “I want to be strong, lean and chiselled, with a nice shape to my body.” The pair reunited briefly in the summer of 2014, before splitting again. But despite going on to have a baby in December 2015 with partner Paul Knightley, Sam’s maintained her banging bod.
