FRANKIE Essex has given fans a glimpse at her incredible six-pack after losing two and a half stone in weight.
The Towie star has transformed herself with a gruelling diet and fitness regime, and she is now proudly displaying the results of her hard work.
The TV beauty looks dramatically different following her make-over, and she is sharing the secrets of her success in a new fitness DVD.
Frankie, has lost almost three stone in seven months, but some sceptical fans have accused her of having surgery to help shed the pounds.
Speaking to The Sun Online recently, she hit back at the haters insisting she lost weight naturally.
She said: "I just went to the gym and ate healthily. No I didn’t have any surgery, you couldn’t have an operation and go to the gym.
"You have to wait ages, it’s really dangerous to do things like that. No way did I do that.”
Frankie revealed she has been through some tough times recently - but exercise helped turn her life around.
She said: “This time last year I didn’t want to wake up the next day, I couldn’t get out of bed.
“I was in a hole, drinking and going out. I was burying my head in the sand, I was really in a bad way, overweight and in a bad relationship that I wanted to get out of.
“Training has changed everything, sweating makes me feel great and the endorphins that cardio releases leave me on a natural high.
“I’ve not been to counselling, I went to one person once to speak about stuff and I’ve actually learnt this myself. I’m off antidepressants, I’ve done this on my own.”
