Claire Richards has revealed her new look as she shares her hair makeover and incredible weight loss on Lorraine.

Taking to her Instagram a few weeks ago, Claire shared with fans that she was about to have a dramatic haircut as she captioned the post: “It's all coming off!!! Bit scared but I know I'm in good hands with @jamiestevens7 in charge of these locks! Wish me luck.”

She then revealed to her fans her new short ‘do in two posts showing off her blonde bob.

Claire recently dropped from a size 20 to a size 8 and hopes this time “it’s for good” as she told Bella magazine.

"I hope I've broken the cycle but I think I've learned my lesson by saying: ‘This time it's for good’. Portion sizes have always been my downfall."

And fans were quick to comment on Claire’s transformation, positively praising the singer, saying:

“Wow you look gorgeous it really suits you”

“You look absolutely fabulous”

“It's like 1998 all over again you look amazing”

Claire has always been in the media for her yo-yo dieting, as she has gained between 4-6 stone, six times since being in the spotlight.

But now, the 38 year old is the healthiest she has ever been after losing six stone in two years.

Claire has managed to maintain her weight and live a healthy lifestyle by controlling her portion sizes, which she previously revealed in her book All Of Me: My Story was one of her biggest problems.

“Food for me is almost like a drug - I get an instant gratification from it, but it doesn't last very long,” she wrote.

Elsewhere in the singer's life, Claire recently returned from India, where she worked with Save the Children to raise awareness for their Den Day campaign.

Whilst in India, the mum-of-two saw first hand how Save the Children helps bring education to the children who aren't able to enrol.

Speaking about Arjun, one of the children she met, Claire said: "All he wants is to be able to go to school and be with children his own age.

"He deserves to have an education and not to be excluded from school like so many other boys in India are."

Speaking to Lorraine today about her time there, Claire also revealed her fab new look, and said: “I feel good, I’m really happy.

“I feel this is the longest I’ve managed to maintain it, and that was always my big problem.

"I'm trying really hard. It's not rocket science how you lose weight but keeping it off has always been my problem."

And Twitter certainly thought she looks great too, as they tweeted:

We think you look amazing too, Claire – well done!
