A TIPPING Point contestant who was fat-shamed following their appearance on the show has revealed they've since lost half their body weight.
Erika, a patient's adviser from Swansea, appeared on the ITV show in an episode that aired on July 17.
However, it was a repeat show and since she first appeared on Tipping Point, Erika has transformed her appearance.
Watching the repeat along with other ITV viewers, Erika took to X – formerly Twitter – to share a snap of her incredible weight loss.
She revealed she had been fat-shamed by online trolls after her episode originally aired, and it had inspired her to shed the pounds.
She wrote alongside the picture of her slimmed down physique: "So after seeing myself on #tippingpoint and being fat-shamed on here I changed my life and lost almost half my body weight! Thanks everyone for the motivation!”
