Size 16 Chanelle Hayes reveals two years of yo-yo dieting has made her hair fall out

YEARS of yo-yo dieting has taken its toll on Chanelle Hayes' appearance and she revealed periods spent starving herself of good grub have left her practically BALD.

The reality TV beauty shrunk from fourteen stone down to a size eight weighing seven stone at her lowest, before seeing the scales tip back up to a size 16 in the space of two years.

While the beauty admits she is now fully confident with her curves she does regret abusing her body and said: "My doctor told me I'd done lasting damage and there's nothing I can do to change that.

"My hair is so thin and horrendous from the lack of nutrients, I've got like five real hairs left.

"When I was excessively dieting it got thinner and it's never recovered.

"My nails are in a bad way too - I have to have false ones on because they're too weak and flaky."

He binge eating coupled with scant meals hasn't just made its mark on her appearance - her digestive system has taken a pummelling too.

The beauty said: "When I was slim if I just ate some sweets or a bag of chips I'd straight away put on 5lb because my body was so messed up.

"I find because I've been on such extreme diets in the past, if I try to lose weight my body won't react in the same way.

"It's a much slower process now because I've totally messed up my metabolism."

Earlier this month, The Sun online exclusively revealed Chanelle's pride in flaunting her fuller figure while on holiday.
