Last year was difficult in more ways than one, but Davina Rankin has proven that she took something positive out of 2021 – a whole new figure.
The former Married At First Sight and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star revealed the incredible way she transformed her body in just over one year on Thursday.
Sharing four before and after photos on Instagram, the mum-of-one revealed she had shed 13 kilos but said that the changes have been more than just physical.
“These photos were taken exactly 1 year and 1 month apart, 13kgs difference,” Davina penned.

“In the bottom photos I was sad, depressed, insecure & had breast implants that were silently making me sick and tired.”
The 29-year-old confessed that before she began her transformation, she felt like everything was “too hard” and had given up on looking after herself.
Being a new mum, combined with lockdowns and the symptoms of breast implant illness, made for “one super sh—ty cocktail” of circumstances that had Davina struggling with feelings of low self-worth.
But she decided to turn it around by putting in the work to improve her physical and mental health over the last 13 months – starting with surgery to remove her breast implants.
The MAFS star had her breast implants removed in November 2021.

“I thrive on taking care of myself and make my health an absolute priority every day.”
Sharing some insight into how she transformed her body as well as her mindset, Davina credited daily meditation, regular training and being kinder to herself.
“Even if I don’t train I still make sure I move (even if it’s dancing in the lounge room with my daughter),” she added of how she’s keeping fit.

Though Davina confessed that it took her 28 years to truly understand how important it is to maintain your physical, mental and spiritual health, she couldn’t be happier with where she is now.
“I feel more alive than I have in the last 12 years!” she wrote. “My words of advice [are] it’s never too late to start, even if you are at rock bottom.”
The photos she shared showing off her incredible transformation were flooded with positive comments and support from her former TV co-stars.
“Wowww!!!😍,” wrote fellow Married At First Sight alum Blair Rachael, while I’m A Celeb’s Tottie Goldsmith commented: “So proud of you beautiful woman ❤️”
Fans also showered Davina in love, writing how proud they are of her for being so honest about her journey, both physical and mental.
