Clare Verrall flaunts slimmed down figure, revealing she’s a size 12

She’s the Married At First Sight bride who vowed to ‘get healthy again’ after a 44kg weight gain left her ‘too embarrassed’ to leave the house.

And on Friday, Clare Verrall, 34, proved she’s got her confidence back when she flaunted her slimmed down figure at the White Horse venue launch at The Albion hotel in Melbourne on Friday.

The blonde beauty struck a number of poses at the red carpet event, proving she’s regained the radiance she displayed on the reality TV show.

On Saturday, the reality TV star told Daily Mail Australia that her focus on her health meant she had thrown out the scales, adding she’s ‘down to a size 12’.

‘I was a size 18 in January,’ Clare said, she then added candidly, ‘Last night’s dress was a size 12 though.’

For the outing, Clare turned heads in an elegant blue lace dress which featured a scoop neck, sheer sleeves and below-the-knee tailoring.

The blonde bombshell opted for a number of accessories, including her Apple watch and a pair of red suede heels.

The reality star, who has been open about her weight loss journey, opted to wear her blonde hair out and slightly curled and a nude make-up palette.

At times, Clare showed off her comedic side as she posed with a large bottle of Grey Goose vodka – sponsors of the event – and pretending to pour its contents into her mouth.

Having lost more than 26kgs, Clare told Daily Mail Australia in July that she is excited to have a sense of renewed sense of confidence.

‘I am now excited to be back out in the world rather than confined to my room,’ she said. ‘Mental health has played a huge part in my weight loss.’

She then added: ‘After putting so much work into my mental health recovery, I now feel like I am the best version of myself.’

Additionally, Clare revealed she has now come off anti-depressant medication and has ‘stopped turning to food for comfort’.

In May, Clare revealed the catalyst for her body transformation was humiliating incident when she got stuck in the ‘skinny doors’ at a restaurant.

Clare admitted the incident shocked her, saying: ‘All the employees were laughing at me,’ and said that there was a second incident with an aeroplane seat belt.

In January, Clare revealed after she went on Married At First Sight, her weight went up from 70kgs to 114kgs, and confessed PTSD had affected her lifestyle choices.

‘I have been avoiding going out or attending any events for the past year, as I am very embarrassed by how out of control my weight has become,’ she told Daily Mail Australia at the time. 

‘My body went into fight or flight mode,’ she added.

‘Your brain tells your body to store every ounce of fat as it thinks you are on Survivor when in reality I was in bed eating poorly.’ 

'My body went into fight or flight mode': Previously, Clare said it was lifestyle issues relating to her PTSD which saw her weight become "out of control"
