Her pals shared a glimpse of the huge barn-style wedding party with singing and dancing around tables.

But hours later Chanelle, 36, revealed her Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) flare up after being diagnosed with the devastating condition three years ago.

Chanelle, who is mum to Blakely, 12, and Frankie, five, from previous relationships, shared a photo from her bed.

She wrote over the top: “And the post exam, post wedding CFS /ME crash we knew was finally coming has arrived.

“Pain relief, hot water bottle, fluids, and plenty of sleep for this wife.

Chanelle announced her engagement to Dan in May 2022.

Just one year before and said at the time that her M.E. went undiagnosed for years because of her obesity and was only discovered after she lost nine stone.

Her health has got so bad she’s been forced to give up going to the gym, drinking alcohol and enjoying nights out with friends because she’s always so exhausted.

“It’s a hidden disability that people scoff at thinking you’re just being lazy,” said Chanelle.

“But there are days I’ve slept for 14 hours and when I wake up in the morning I still haven’t got enough energy to brush my teeth or do my hair.

“It’s literally awful and so frustrating. I’ve found myself crying because I get so mad at how tired I get.

“I can’t understand why my body won’t let me do certain things.

“I’m a qualified personal trainer and love going to the gym, but I physically can’t go anymore. Once I go I’m out of action for about four days in bed.

“I feel like I am missing out on lots of time with the kids because I’m sleeping so much. I’ve even lost more weight than I wanted to because of how much I’m asleep.”

Chanelle – who found fame on Channel 4’s Big Brother in 2007 when she was just 19 – has struggled with fatigue, as well as joint and muscular pain for years prior to her diagnosis.

The star told The Sun: “I always put my symptoms down to being so obese

“I thought ‘I’m overweight, it’s my own fault, no wonder I’m tired all of the time and no wonder my joints are killing me.’

“Then as I started to lose weight I felt like the pain was getting worse and worse.”
