Image overhaul: Big Brother's Josie Gibson reveals her new figure after dropping a stone and a half after being shocked by images of herself in a bikini in May

She shocked when she was spotted running on the sand in Ibiza earlier this year, sporting a much larger waistline as she unveiled all in a bikini.
But the images shocked Josie Gibson most of all, causing her to take action and drop the pounds.
The Big Brother winner has now lost a stone and a half and a dress size after admitting that she had become 'a beast'.
When Josie, 27, saw pictures of herself in a bright pink bikini from her holiday in May she stormed into action as she now wants to look 'hot' for the beach later this year.

Boost: Josie decided to drop weight after seeing how big she'd got while on holiday in Ibiza in May

She told this week's issue of Closer magazine: 'I’d gone out there to look at houses as I was thinking of investing in some property. The last thing I expected was to get photographed and, as far as I’m concerned, I look like a total beast.
'I was in denial about how big I’d got, but those pictures really brought it home. I couldn’t believe it when I weighed myself and realised I was 14st and a size 16.'
Gibson has since dropped down to 13 stone and a size 14.
And she's gaining her body confidence back so much she posed in just her underwear for the magazine.
Josie, who is engaged to 24-year-old boyfriend Luke Sanwo after proposing to him on Leap Year in February, smiles at the camera as she wears heels and a brown two-piece, which looks a far cry from the pictures of her last month.
She has blamed breaking her ankle on the weight gain as she ended up snacking a lot on takeaways.

But in a bid to overhaul her lifestyle and health, she hired a personal trainer and started to cut down on her calorie intake.
And now she's working towards losing another two stone to reach her ideal weight of 10 stone with a size 10 dress size.
Gibson added to Closer: 'I have a picture in my head of how I’m going to look when I’m slimmer. I’m planning a trip abroad in August and I want to look hot on the beach. 'The aim is to be a size 10 by next summer and hit the music festivals in cowboy boots and hot pants with a fringed bra top. I have the outfit, I just need to lose the weight!'
This week's Closer magazine is on sale now.
