Published 7th Jul 2016

Tina Malone has shown off her bikini body after losing an incredible 12 stone.

In 2008 she’d been fitted with a gastric balloon and had a gastric band fitted in 2010. On Twitter she showed off her new body in a holiday picture, saying it's the first time she's been eight stone.

After losing the weight she’d undergone a £50,000 makeover last year to remove the excess skin.

She’d openly talked about her weight struggles in the past, admitting that she overate and ‘felt terrible’ about her life.

The 53-year-old added that it's a 'myth that fat people are jolly'.

The actress already has a toddler at home but recently admitted on Loose Women that she’d love to have more children.

She said that her doctor believes she’s fit and healthy enough but she doesn’t think her husband Paul could be persuaded.

The actress added that she has eight embryos frozen and has 12 months to decide if she’d want to become a mum again.

See the interview below. Tina married Paul Chase in 2010 and together they have a two-year-old daughter called Flame. She also has another daughter, Danielle, who is 34.

Tina is currently starring in Celebrity Masterchef.
