Infamous X Factor wannabe Emma Chawner has proudly shown off her 16 stone weight loss, 17 years after her first-ever audition on the reality singing competition.

Emma, now 35, first appeared on the hit ITV talent show in 2007 when she was just 17, where her family stormed the audition room to confront Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh when they rejected her.

Since then the former TV star has gone on to shed the pounds, confirming that she did it all herself and denied any help of a gastric band during an appearance on ITV's Lorraine back in 2019.

More recently, she posted some incredible 'before' and 'after' shots on her Instagram account, saying: "5years down and 16st 4 lost im still losing it but very slow now." Fans were quick to praise her, saying things like: "Fantastic, you look amazing," and "You look so beautiful and pretty!
