Having a whale of a time: Frankie Essex looked the height of body-confident on Friday, as she showcased her svelte frame during a night out in her native Essex

The former reality star styled her blonde hair in a middle-parting that framed her face with tumbling waves.

She plumped her pout with a frosty pink lipstick and highlighted her eyes with lashings of mascara and smokey shadow.

Letting her statement dress do all the talking, she carried a simple black leather tote bag.

She first revealed the staggering results of her weight loss in November last year, and spoke to MailOnline at the time about her journey.

She revealed: 'I've had a year and a half of being sad and depressed and not even wanting to leave the house at times.

'I just want to make everyone feel good like I do now,' she said, about sharing her fitness tips in new DVD, Frankie Essex Weight Loss Workouts.

Frankie continued: 'Burning calories and getting a sweat on, it just releases the endorphins and it makes you feel better.'

The reality star had to overcome the fear of being judged when she first rejoined a gym and embarked on her weight loss journey.

'Sometimes I think the gym's a bit scary,' she said. 'I didn't go for ages, it's a bit intimidating. Especially being on TV, I felt like everyone was looking at me anyway, and I was bigger and I felt fat.

'Now I talk to all the men about their regimes and we all kind of copy each other's routines.'
