Charlotte Dawson is unrecognisable and 'mega proud' after 3.5 stone weight-loss journey

Charlotte Dawson appears unrecognisable as she shows off her incredible 3.5 stone weight loss.

TV star Charlotte, 30, told fans she's "so so proud" that she's changed her life after starting her fitness journey in 2021.

Sharing a picture of herself in an orange bikini before losing the weight, Charlotte told fans: "What the actual chuff?! Can’t believe this was exactly a year ago today!!"

She continued: "As you all know I had to shift some serious timber for health reasons because I was on the verge of Type 2 diabetes like my dad."

Type 2 diabetes causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high and can increase your risk of getting serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.

Comedian Les died of a heart attack in 1993 aged 62. Charlotte was just eight months old when her dad died.

Les was at a routine hospital appointment in Manchester when he died suddenly from a heart attack at the age of 62 – with second wife Tracy bringing Charlotte up alone.

Charlotte has discussed her grief and heartache over the loss of her comedian father on a number of occasions.

Recently, the reality star said her dad had been 'sending signs' after she suffered a devastating miscarriage in April this year.

And now she's completely overhauled her lifestyle and diet to get into a "healthier place" after worrying that she wouldn't be around for her son Noah, who turns two later this month.

After a break from her plan to enjoy Christmas and New Year, Charlotte is determined to get back on a health kick.

"I’m getting back to it today after having a fabulous Christmas & new year indulging on all my fave grub," she said.

The mum-of-one previously admitted that she 'went through hell' in order to shed a staggering amount of weight in just a matter of months.

She explained that she felt like a prisoner in own body before making the decision to overhaul her lifestyle, start working out, and changing her diet for the better.

Sharing a set of comparison pictures last year Charlotte admitted that she made the drastic weight transformation happen in just a matter of months.

"My darlings … 2k21 V 2k22," she penned. "Literally canny believe the difference! My whole life has changed so much in that time."
