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!”

Erika was flooded with compliments and praise for her achievements, with one writing: “Well done.”

Another tweeted: “You look beautiful but I am sure you did before but well done and to all the fat shamers…….”

A third added: “Wow Erika. Well done! Not everyone would be that motivated. Heartiest congratulations on looking fabulous.

“I bet you feel better in yourself. are healthier & are more confident. Good luck for the future!”

Meanwhile a fourth shared: “Just watched it and you weren’t fat and looked lovely, loving the orange outfit and well done on losing the weight.”

Erika’s time on Tipping Point – which is hosted by Ben Shephard – was short-lived as she ended up being sent home after the first round.

Tipping Point airs weekdays from 4pm on ITV1.
