Former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has opened up about her incredible weight loss journey, revealing she's lost over five stone.The 30 year old reality TV star was given a wake-up call last January when doctors labelled her as "clinically obese", prompting her to make some serious lifestyle changes. "I'm feeling the best I've felt in a long time, potentially ever, admits a visibly glowing Shaughna as she sits down with OK!

for an exclusive interview. " "I can't believe how far I've come in a year. I was on a walk a year ago and there was a moment where it dawned on me how much weight I actually had to lose.

I felt so overwhelmed. It was like, 'Where on earth do you even start? ' But you do – and eventually it comes off. I'm just so glad I did start because that was the hardest part." Having shot to fame on Love Island in 2020, Shaughna confessed that the show, which sees young singles living together in a luxurious villa, brings with it immense pressure regarding physical appearance.

After welcoming her daughter Lucia in April 2023, she found herself battling with body confidence issues due to her post-pregnancy figure. "I can't blame pregnancy, because I did do quite a bit of damage after I had Lucia, I was just eating and eating and doing nothing else," she admits. "But It was hard because, in my mind, people would look at me and their first thought would be, 'Oh, Shaughna from Love Island' and their second thought would be, 'Oh my God, she's got huge.' I don't know whether that is what they thought, but in my mind it was, and that was enough to keep me indoors. "A lot of it does stem from post-partum anxiety.
