Fern, who once admitted she was "terrified" to strip off in front of a new partner, has been on a dramatic weight loss journey over the years, starting when she underwent gastric band surgery in 2006.
She dropped from a size 22 down to a size 12 following the stomach procedure almost 20 years ago, and has followed a healthy diet and exercise plan ever since.
In January, the mother-of-four opened up about her new fitness regime, which prioritised running, cycling, walking and weightlifting.

She said: "I've started running again and gone back to couch to 5K.
"New year, new fitness regime. Later on in the year I'll be walking a small leg of the south west coast parts which will take about a week to do.
"I'll be meeting my friend, who will be doing the whole 360 miles of coast, but I'm in training doing some walks throughout the week and wearing a rucksack with some weight in it and wearing my boots to wear them in.
"I shall start running again, two or three times a week and I'm going to start cycling again and will do some weights to get my arms and shoulder a bit stronger again."
Before her stint on Celebrity Big Brother in 2024, Fern revealed she had completed Couch to 5k, which she described as "a fantastic thing to do".
Speaking of the popular running challenge, she said: "The slow and steady approach is a great confidence builder and soon I was running just a few minutes more each time and my legs were getting stronger."
