The Real Housewives of Cheshire star Rachel Lugo looked incredible in her latest Instagram sharing as she told fans that she had put on a stone in weight. The interior designer wowed as she posted a video of herself looking sensational in a summery yellow two piece outfit.
The mum-of-five oozed body confidence at nearly 50 as she strutted towards the camera and said she might have gone up a dress size 'but that's ok.' Rachel, who joined the ITVBe reality show back in 2017, was flooded with compliments.
"I might of gone up in dress size .. but that’s ok .. I’m nearly 50 after all … but nothing made me realise more than when I watched Moulin Rouge last week that it’s not about how skinny you are or how pretty you are… it’s about the confidence you have!," she typed.

In 2020 Rachel laid bare' how she looked before having a tummy tuck. The reality star, who is currently filming the 15th series of The Real Housewives, was left with excess saggy skin and was 'covered in stretch marks' after having children that she couldn't shift by working out.
She wanted to regain confidence so decided to have surgery two years earlier to remove the excess skin. And in 2019 she hit the gym to lose weight and tone up.
Explaining about her operation she said: "I had very bad diastasis recti (the gap down the centre of your tummy where your muscles have separated) which I think was the reason for my constant lower back ache. So two years ago I had a full tummy tuck with no lipo."
She continued: "The excess skin was removed and my abdominal muscles were sewn back together then a year ago I decided to tone up and lose weight. I started working out and eating healthily and I lost 16lbs." On the ITVBe reality show Rachel posed for a Lady Godiva-style photoshoot with her horse Fil wearing just a lacy nude thong.
Last week Rachel spoke of her horror after her boyfriend Nick walked away unscathed following a car accident close to Manchester Airport. The reality star took to as her social media to share images after the smash, which showed a visibly crushed bonnet.
The interior designer had been away when Nick had been making his way to Manchester Airport to collect her and her twin Katie before the accident happened. Since the terrifying incident she said: "Nick would like me to pass on his thanks for all your lovely messages. There have literally been thousands... I'm so sorry if I don't get a chance to reply to each one. Somebody was looking down on him that day, thank God."
