Sophie Kasaei shows off her fuller figure in plunging bikini after eating disorder claims
The Geordie Shore star revealed her 'hair fell out' when she lost weight after the stress of being kicked off the show
SOPHIE Kasaei showed off her fuller figure in a plunging black bikini while on holiday after opening up about her weight battle.
The reality TV star looked relaxed as she sunned herself by the pool in Bulgaria and sipped on a can of Coca-Cola to keep cool in the heat.
Her revealing black swimsuit featured rhinestones under the bust and on the bikini bottoms, which sparkled in the sun.
She wore over-sized tortoise shell sunglasses that shielded her face and sported sparkling flip flops that matched her two-piece swimsuit.
Sophie's holiday comes after she opened up about how her figure has fluctuated over the past few years and revealed her weight plummeted after she was booted off Geordie Shore.
She told new! magazine: "When I joined the show I was a size 14, about 10 and a half stone. But last year I went down to 8 stone 4 pounds, I was tiny.
"I was depressed and didn't want to eat. I put all my money into a shop and lost it all.
"My relationship started to f*ck up, my parents were getting a divorce. I hit an all time low. I didn't want to be here.
"I look at pictures and it worried us. I looked ill. My ribs were on show. My hair started to fall out."

However, Sophie said things started to turn around for her when she was invited back on the show after Charlotte Crosby sensationally quit.
She continued: "I got a phone call at the start of this year asking me to come back to Geordie Shore. I was hysterical.
"I had been given a second chance. This year has been the best year of my life. I started eating again.
"That's why I started eating again because I was happy! I am a size ten to twelve and weight 10 stone 4 pounds. I feel big for me.
"It's hard though. I am doing personal appearances and ending up drinking and eating sh*t.
"My healthy weight would be 8 stone 10 pounds so I need to lose about a stone and a half. I am unhappy with my stomach.
"The backs of my legs are awful. My bum is as flat as a pancake and it's full of cellulite."
She told Closer magazine: “All the girls look amazing, but they’ve had their DVDs and books and I’ve never had that help.
"Of course I compare myself to them, and other reality TV stars – the Made In Chelsea and Towie girls are all really slim.
“I think the truth is I’m not motivated to lose weight at the minute. Yesterday, I had a roast dinner, a double cheeseburger with chicken nuggets, ice cream, then I went to the chippy. I didn’t have a bit of broccoli all day!”
