Chanelle – who recently unveiled her weight loss, recently broke down in tears amid mental health struggles.
The television personality took to social media last week to insist she was “perfectly fine” after she burst into tears over her mental health struggles.
She said she “likes to keep her social media transparent and revealing what my actual life is like,” rather than creating an illusion.
The makeup-free reality star asked her followers not to judge her as she thanked them for their support after breaking down earlier this month, saying: “Please don’t judge me”.
“I just wanted to thank you all for the lovely messages of support and for making you feel the same way at times and the appreciation that life can be crazy.
“Anyway, I don’t want to bore you, I just wanted to let you know that everything is fine.

Chanelle admitted that “growing up is hard” and that she doesn’t enjoy putting on a fake smile for social media because “things aren’t always great.”
She continued: “It was just a trash day in a really trash week. I like to keep my Instagram reflective and transparent of how my actual life is.
“A lot of people just post highlights, which is totally fine, share what you want to share, but sometimes it’s hard to grow up and social media can be really bad.
“You see all this stuff like everything is great, but you sat there and didn’t feel that great, so my post was about showing how easy it is to put on a smile and emphasize the good when we do.” could really use it when we realize that things aren’t always great.’
It comes after Chanelle sobbed on social media that she felt “lost and overwhelmed” after a “garbage” start to 2023.

Earlier this month, she took to Instagram to show how a picture-perfect lifestyle can be an illusion.
Chanelle says she’s one of many who are “so sad at this time of year” in a candid post about her mental health and how social media can be a front.
She wrote: “Happy new year guys…or not? I didn’t really post much over Christmas and New Years as I had so much to do both for my degree and actual work and then obviously I was trying to squeeze it all in to spend time with family. It was a lot. I feel challenged.
“I’m feeling a little lost and overwhelmed by how quickly the years are going by and that I might not be getting anywhere with them. Like I’m stuck
“I’ve seen so many fabulous, happy and celebratory posts over the last few weeks and rightly so.
“But I haven’t really seen anyone acknowledge that sooooo many people are sad at this time of year.
“I bet so many of us are, but behind our screens and through our feeds, we paint a different picture.
“Just wanted to post to say it’s okay to feel overwhelmed, there’s no need to hide it and I’m not.
“This week has been rubbish and I’ve got so much to do this year that the only thing I’m afraid of is lumps in my stomach.
