Chantelle Houghton from Big Brother has shared the secrets behind her amazing five – stone weight loss transformation. The 41 – year – old TV star made a surprising confession. She said that during her weight loss journey, she didn’t go to the gym at all. Instead, she made big changes to her diet.
Chantelle explained that she looked closely at how much “unnecessary sugar through food” she was consuming. Then, she completely cut sugar out of her diet. She said that once she removed sugar, it became much easier to lose weight. And she has kept this sugar restriction ever since.
She told The Sun, “I genuinely didn’t exercise, I didn’t go to the gym, I didn’t do anything apart from cut sugar out, and the weight just started to drop off of me.” She added, “You know, I don’t miss it – I didn’t have any cravings or anything like that. And it just sort of spurred me on to start looking after myself a lot more when I saw the difference.”
Chanelle also said that she has given up alcohol because of its high sugar content. This shows how much she has changed her lifestyle.
Chantelle has decided not to have cosmetic surgery again. Even though she was tempted when she gained three and a half stone during lockdown. She last had surgery in 2016 when she had her breast implants removed. She said the original breast implant surgery was her “biggest regret”. She told The Sun, “When I had my breast implants removed completely, I knew that was my very last cosmetic surgery. I made a promise to myself I’d only go under the knife again for medical reasons.”
The reality TV star had a strict diet and exercise plan in 2025. This was after she reached 13 – stone following her split from her ex – fiancé Michael Strutt.
In a recent interview with New magazine, Chantelle talked about her dating life. She was disappointed that “only old men” are interested in her. She said, “I’m open to meeting somebody. I’m not closed off from it, but I certainly haven’t met anyone that I’d want to progress things with.”
