Chantelle Houghton shows off dramatic new look after 'liquid facelift' amid her five-stone weight loss
The former Celebrity Big Brother winner, 41, took to Instagram to flaunt her refreshed appearance and praised the results of the non-surgical tweakment.
Chantelle wrote: 'I went to @thelondonaesthetics and had a liquid facelift and skin rejuvenation, the results are instant.
'Little by little, I'm finding my way back… not to who I was, but to who I'm becoming. @thelondonaesthetics have been a big part of that journey.'
Fas took to her comment section to share their thoughts on the procedure writing: 'Wow!! That's insane'
'You'll always be beautiful chantelle.'
'You look amazing girl ❤️'
'Absolutely amazing you have such a beautiful soul and you shine so brightly never let anyone take that away from you ✨✨❤️ xxxxxxxx'
'U always look stunning'
However other followers urged Chantelle to put the needle down saying: 'Age gracefully you don't need it'
'You have always been naturally pretty. In my opinion you don't need fillers etc... but it's you who has to feel confident. Good luck on you're journey Chantelle'.
The star, who famously entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2006 as a non-celebrity tasked with convincing her housemates she was famous, bagged the win - and £25,000 - after becoming a fan favourite.
Since then, Chantelle has largely stepped out of the limelight but has recently returned to the public eye after shedding a whopping five stone.
Earlier this year, she opened up about her impressive weight loss and insisted that she has not taken the drug Ozempic.
Fans had mixed thoughts on the procedure and took to the comment section of social media to raise their praise and concerns
Instead, she credits 'blood, sweat, and tears' into dropping the pounds.
Chantelle first embarked on her weight loss transformation after reaching 13 stone following her 2021 split from ex-fiancé Michael Strutt and was relentlessly trolled for her weight.
The TV personality used the negative comments as motivation and embarked on her weight loss journey that saw her drop an impressive five stone without stepping into a gym.
Chantelle committed herself to a strict diet, avoiding processed foods and focusing on healthy eating but has since been accused of relying on weight loss drug Ozempic.
She told The Sun: 'There was an article online not long ago, and the comments section was full of people saying, 'Ozempic, Ozempic. But I've never taken it. If I had, I'd happily admit it – I'm an open book.
'But I worked hard to lose that weight through blood, sweat, and tears, and it really p**sed me off that people dismissed my effort. I've had to learn to have thick skin and do what's best for me, but the comments did hurt.'
Chantelle said she would never take the drug but warned people if they do turn to Ozempic to make sure it is 'from a legitimate source'.
She continued: 'I personally wouldn't take it – things like that scare me – but I can understand why some people do. If you're going to use it, make sure it's from a legitimate source and not something dodgy. It's your body, and you have to do what feels right for you.'
Previously Chantelle also said she had cut out alcohol from her diet because of the high sugar content as she gave an insight into her lifestyle overhaul.

Pregnant Katherine Ryan admits she's feeling 'dejected' at the thought of her next baby being a boy as she's been 'antagonised by men' throughout her life and jokes her son is a 'toxic male'
has admitted that she's feeling 'dejected' at the thought of her next baby being a boy. The comedian, 42, who is expecting her fourth child with husband Bobby Kootstra, already has son Fred, four, as well as daughters Violet, 16, and Fenna, two. However, during a recent interview, Katherine spoke of her dread at adding another boy to her brood, recalling how she's been 'antagonised by men' throughout her life. The TV personality also joked that her son Fred is a 'toxic male' as she opened up about facing gender disappointment. Speaking to Jamie Theakston and Zoe Hardman on Heart Breakfast on Monday, Katherine responded candidly when the radio hosts asked how she felt ahead of welcoming her fourth child. She explained: 'I have to say, that I can't ever complain post first trimester, I'm quite big, so I think it might be a boy, so I'm feeling dejected about that, because men have just antagonized me all life, even before their born.' The star went on to confirm the gender order of her children so far, stating: 'Girl, boy, girl', before that she 'never' finds out the sex of her child. 'It's always a surprise and I love that, it's vintage', she explained. The 8 Out Of 10 favourite then went on to confess that she'll no doubt have 'gender disappointment' with her upcoming child if it was a boy as she spoke about her four-year-old son. She told the hosts: 'I will have it this time if it's a boy. You know what it is, my son is a toxic male, he's four years old and he always wants to fight me, I drove him to nursery the other day, he sat behind me and he had a sword held to my throat for a while. 'Like whose giving you weapons. I didn't grow up with brothers, so it's been an adjustment for me. But I love him, he's a very special guy.' Katherine, who initially announce her pregnancy last month, has been open about her fertility struggles in recent years, revealing in 2024 that she had had three miscarriages in five years. Speaking in November, Katherine admitted she would love to have more kids – but was worried about her age. 'I'm old. I used to think I was going to be the babies' dad because I'm working but actually I'm like their grandmother,' she quipped at the time. 'My back hurts, sometimes I give them treats. I'm like a fun grandma.' The TV personality also joked that her son Fred is a 'toxic male' as she opened up about facing gender disappointment The 8 Out Of 10 favourite then went on to confess that she'll no doubt have 'gender disappointment' with her upcoming child if it was a boy as she spoke about her four-year-old son The TV star revealed in 2022 that she had kept her second pregnancy a secret because she was scared it would lead to her losing work. She was eight months pregnant when she presented ITV's Ready To Mingle, a fact that she hid from everyone. Katherine and her husband Bobby have been together since 2018, but have known each other since they were children as they grew up together in Canada. Childhood sweethearts, the two parted ways initially before rekindling their romance this side of the Atlantic. The couple revealed in the latest series of the family's reality show that they 'wanted the option of having a fourth [child].' The series saw the couple exploring their marriage through therapy before visiting a fertility clinic. Katherine admitted in the scenes which aired in February that she knew conceiving a fourth child would be challenging thanks to both her and Bobby's age. 'It's not that surprising that over 40 women have fewer follicles than we once did,' said Katherine. 'But we talk a lot about male fertility as well, which is on a steep decline. But I would still like a fourth baby. 'We are so blessed to have the kids that we do have. Having children is not for everyone, but I personally really like making people. I think it's a superpower if you can do it.' She explained at the time how she and her husband had never previously struggled with getting pregnant but had suffered multiple losses. 'We've always gotten pregnant with the babies quite quickly. I've been pregnant five times in five years, but that also means I've had three miscarriages in five years and the likelihood of that increases as you get older,' she explained.

Man tests £16 Harrods chicken Kiev to see how it compares to the £6 M&S variety - with very surprising results
A food fanatic has revealed that he prefers M&S 's £6.75 chicken Kiev over the £16 version from Harrods. Carmie Sellitto tested both varieties the Ukrainian staple but felt that the high street chain's version was a tastier meal - despite being less than half the price. The British TikToker, who goes by the name @touchdalight online, said 'in some chicken Kievs you get a lot of overpowered flavours but this is just perfect' when reviewing M&S's version. He added that 'the garlic butter in this is actually incredible, the flavour is brilliant and even the coating of the chicken is perfect'. But the luxury department store's imitation left much to be desired, despite costing considerably more. 'This is three times more expensive [sic] than the M&S one so it better taste three times better,' he commented as he unpacked the meal. When he first cuts into the chicken, Mr Selitto exclaims 'what! Look at the garlic butter in there' and showed the food to the camera. Whereas M&S's version had garlic butter 'bursting out' when it was sliced, the Harrods sauce held its shape more and did not trickle out in the same way. Mr Selitto, who often makes videos comparing food, said it 'kind of looks like pea sauce' but noted that 'it's pretty loaded with chicken to be fair, you can't go wrong with that'. However, the fault the critic had issue most with was its allegedly strong lemon flavours. He said: 'The sauce is really good to be fair, I really like that, but I'm getting mad hints of lemon which I don't like too much. 'The sauce is also a lot thicker than the M&S one, I'm assuming they've got completely different ingredients because they taste very different. 'The sauce is very overpowering in this.' He added: 'I do prefer the breadcrumbs on the M&S one, it just feels more crunchy and this one is more soggy.' The influencer then concluded: 'I would rate the M&S one a nine out of 10 and the Harrods one a 8.5 out of 10.' He explained this was due to the pricing but remained unconvinced if he would choose the Harrods variety if it cost the same. 'I think its mainly because of the pricing but if they were the same price maybe I'd buy Harrods but then again I'm not sure,' he said. On its website, Harrods advertises its Chicken Kiev at £16 (despite Mr Sellitto saying he bought his for £14) and served two people. The M&S variety said that it served one person. Chicken Kievs caused a huge debate in 2023 over its pronunciation - in a one-off Christmas special, William Sitwell delivered a homemade version on Celebrity Masterchef, but the dish was repeatedly pronounced as 'Chicken Kyiv.' The pronunciation, which has been re-adopted by Ukranians following the country's invasion by Russia in February 2022, caught many viewers off-guard. One posted: 'WTH... have I been saying it wrong all thes years???,' and another shared: '#masterchef we all been calling it wrong should be chick keev not chicken kieyev.' The pronounciation, which has been re-adopted by Ukranians following the country's invasion by Russia in February 2022, caught many viewers off-guard A third posted: 'So, are there any other obviously uncultured souls out there, who still pronounce it chicken kiev, rather than chicken keeev?' 'I've just learned I've been pronouncing chicken Kiev wrong,' one added. 'Kiev' was the standardised spelling for the city under Soviet rule, but recent Russian aggression has seen more Western institutions heed calls to abandon it in favour of the Ukrainian alternative. And after the invasion began in 2022, many shoppers called for supermarkets to rename the dish as chicken kviv.

Britain's deepest lido boasting its own lagoon moves one step closer to reopening after three-year closure
A BELOVED UK lido is moving closer to reopening after three years of renovation works. Britain's deepest lido has been undergoing a £7.6million refurbishment under a government programme. 3 3 3 Hilsea Lido in Portsmouth has been a go-to place for local families since its original opening in 1935. Legendary actor Sean Connery also frequented the outdoor pool for his swimming sessions. Hilsea Lido first closed its doors back in 2007, but it reopened back in 2014 after its management was taken over by Hilsea Lido Pool for the People - a charity formed by residents.

"From invigorating swims and soul-soothing sauna sessions to family themed activities, delicious eats and energising events, there will be something for everyone. "To help us create our vision we want to hear from the Portsmouth community as to how Hilsea Lido can meet their needs." New facilities Thanks to the Government's Levelling Up programme, the outdoor pool has received a £7.6million worth of investment. Look around historic 200-year-old lido with stunning seaside views abandoned for decades Once the lido has reopened, it will have upgraded facilities including new changing rooms, benches, tables, and a fountain. The fully functioning unheated pool will also feature ramps to provide more accessibility to people with mobility issues. The new modern filtration system has been installed to ensure clear and safe for swimming water for years to come. The team at Sea Lanes will also be bringing food and drink pop up stores, saunas and health and wellbeing businesses into the area. Opening date Local residents have been excited about the re-opening of the lido for which they hold fond memories. No official opening date has been revealed just yet, but there is more information on the Portsmouth City Council website. It reads: "The project is set to reopen in early autumn 2025, which is the same year the lido will celebrate its 90th anniversary." And here are the .
