Earlier this year, Rochelle Wiseman hit the headlines with her slimmer figure.
After previously being unfairly subjected to 'fat' taunts online, when she was clearly a healthy size 10, many thought The Saturdays singer had been feeling the pressure to lose weight.
But in actual fact, the 22-year-old admitted her slimmer weight was her actual size and a health problem had led to pile on the pounds last year.

Speaking about her health scare for the first time, Wiseman admitted she had an operation when doctors discovered a cyst on her ovary.
She tells the latest issue of New! magazine: 'I had an operation at the start of last year. I had a cyst on my ovary and it made me put on a lot of weight.
'I went a full dress size bigger - from a size 8 up to a 10, maybe even a 12. Everyone thinks I’ve tried to lose weight, but I genuinely haven’t.'
Last year, the outspoken star took to Twitter to hit back at critics of her figure.

She said: 'I'm really getting annoyed reading that people are calling me fat! I'm a size 10 not 100! I'm human and curvy get over it! It's boring!
'I'm just starting to get sick of it!!! No wonder people get a complex!! I think it's a disgrace!!
'As a band we take pride in being role models to children and other young girls and I think that the best role model is someone who is comfortable in their own skin! And I am.'
Meanwhile, Wiseman reflected on her two month split from JLS singer boyfriend Marvin Humes.
The couple started dating in March 2010, but called time on their romance the following November.
But by January this year, the pair were back together and are now stronger than ever.
She explains: 'We’ve been together two years and I think everyone has a stage when something like that happens. It’s not a big deal.
'We got back together because I think we realised that we didn’t want to let go of what we had.'
The full interview with Wiseman is in the new issue of New! magazine, on sale now.
