Shaughna Phillips, 30, has shown off her incredible weight loss in a jaw-dropping before and after video. The Love Island star shared a video on Instagram, contrasting herself today to how she looked over a year ago. In the video, Shaughna placed a clip of herself 14 months ago on the left, in which she sat and chatted while wearing a bandeau-style orange bikini. On the right, she wore the exact same bikini, admitting she’d had to adjust the piece in order to make it fit her much smaller frame.
Good Morning Britain’s Shaughna said: “I can’t believe that was me in that video. And this is the same iconic bikini - albeit with a few adjustments because it just didn’t fit me anymore, but now I’m back. That video was taken over 14 months ago now, and I’m so glad you can finally see the hard work that I’ve put in.
“I have so much compassion for that person in that video, because she was going through it. She was new to motherhood, she was fighting trials and tribulations that everyone’s life throws at them, and it creeps up on you. But I decided to take hold and take control of my life. I have now dropped over five stone, and dropped over six dress sizes. And I’m very happy with the end product!”.
Shaughna also touched upon the health scare that prompted her weight loss, revealing: “Now I have to be honest, although I’m loving the way my clothes are looking and I’m loving the way I look in the mirror, this was not done for vanity. I had quite a serious health scare when I had a scan and they told me I had loads of visceral fat around my organs, which can lead to so many nasty illnesses. I have a daughter now and it is my goal in life to be the best role model and the best mum I can be for her - so this was all for her, albeit a little bit of my waistline was shed in the process.”.
