She recently told MailOnline that she 'thinks eat a croissant and get over it' when bodyshamers slam her weight. 

And Chanelle Hayes once again remained defiant as she displayed her fuller figure in a skimpy black bikini during a sun-drenched getaway to Spain last week. 

The 28-year-old Big Brother star showed off her curves in the black two-piece while going make-up free as she enjoyed the blissful sun.

Her weight loss and gains have been a well-chronicled journey yet Chanelle refuses to hide away in the face of her critics.

Yet Chanelle previously insisted she is confident in her size 16 body after 'extreme dieting' made her ill leading to her renewed self-assurance.

She oozed confidence as she sat by the pool in the swimwear which did little to contain her curves as she turned around to display her derriere and tribal tattoo. 

Her surgically-enhanced chest was highlighted by the tiny triangle bikini top which featured a frilled detail around the cup.

With her hair scraped into a top knot, she ensured her face would catch maximum tan - perfect for a glowing finish. 

She kept her hair off her face with a pair of clear sunglasses which also added a superstar touch to the ensemble.

Since her appearance on Big Brother nine years ago, Chanelle was catapulted to fame with a huge focus of her public profile being on her fluctuating weight although she is now super confident and strutted her stuff on the festival's catwalk.

After gaining six stone and shooting from a size eight to a size 16, she embarked on a huge health kick in 2014 which saw her hurtle back to her tiny size, while showing off her physique in a series of barely-there bikinis.

Two years later however, the Yorkshire-born beauty is back to a size 16 although she is insistent she is happier than ever as she oozes body confidence after finding love with P.E. teacher, Ryan Oates. 

To silence her haters, Chanelle made a widely-discussed appearance on Loose Women last month in which she stripped down to a bikini after unflattering pictures of her on a beach were published - leading to an onslaught of hurtful comments.

Speaking to MailOnline about body shamers, she revealed: 'Sometimes I get upset by it but then I just think eat a croissant and get over it... I'm so glad I was in my bikini when I went on Loose Women!

'I get social anxiety and get flustered so I was so glad I was in my bikini because I was like feel the breeze! It was so warm! I'm definitely confident in myself.'
