Chantelle Houghton laments her lockdown transformation

‘Ugliest face ever, 2st weight gain and grey hair’: Chantelle Houghton poses with her catch of the day as she laments her lockdown transformation

She’s blissfully in love after getting engaged to partner Michael Strutt in April. 

And Chantelle Houghton, 36, shared a picture of herself on a fishing trip with her love as she excitedly posed with her catch of the day. 

However, while she was having a lovely time, she was clearly feeling self-conscious about her looks during lockdown, even though she still looks lovely. 

‘Ugliest face ever, 2st weight gain and grey hair’: Chantelle Houghton posed with her catch of the day on Instagram on Wednesday as she lamented her lockdown transformation

She wrote: ‘Ugliest face ever, 2 stone weight gain and grey hair due to lockdown but look how excited I am to hold my first river fish!! #fishing #river #weightgain 

‘PS I have a hairdressers appointment next week, beyond excited!! #haircolor #grey #upyourgame.’

It’s fair to say that closed salons, boredom and snacking has got many people feeling less than their best and Chantelle wanted to post something real about her feelings. 

No need to worry: The reality star had been on a fishing trip and despite looking lovely, was on a bit of a downer about herself

She penned: ‘I will love this man forever, he is my rock and loves me unconditionally. 

‘I adore you @strutt.michael ❤️❤️❤️ #unconditionallove #love #rock #iloveyou’.
