Shaughna Phillips has revealed the emotional battles that led to her drastic weight gain as she candidly confesses she tipped the scales to 15 stone at her heaviest. 

The Love Island star, 30, delved into the difficulties she has faced since welcoming her daughter Lucia in April last year.

The blonde beauty, who has been showing off her drastic weight loss on social media, recently opened up about how she had overhauled her lifestyle after being told she was ‘seriously overweight’ by her doctor. 

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Shaughna explained that she has struggled with comfort eating and used it to deal with stressful episodes in her life.

She said: ‘I’m a reactive eater and I look to food as a comfort

‘If there’s anything stressful in my life that’s how I dealt with it, anything sweet and biscuits.’
