Australian Survivor: Brains vs Brawn star Laura Wells reveals her body transformation after losing 6kg on the show
Laura Wells has revealed she lost six kilos on Australian Survivor: Brains vs Brawn.
The body-positive model, 36, told Monday's TV Week she shed the weight filming the show in the outback, but soon put it back on again.
'I lost about six kilos but quickly put that on when I got out,' she said.

Laura has mostly been the same size her entire adult life, saying she's been a size 14 since she was 14 years of age.
But she has occasionally had requests from clients to gain or lose weight for particular campaigns.
'I've been told to lose weight and I've been told to gain weight in this industry,' she told the magazine.

But she added: 'I refuse to do any of it - I am who I am.'
Laura, who has modelled in fashion capitals New York City and London, also has a degree in biology.
She revealed earlier this month she didn't just sign up for Survivor to test her strength of character, but also wanted to share her 'environmental messages'.

'I went on Survivor because it actually does spread my environmental messages to a completely new platform that weren't following me,' she told Daily Mail Australia.
'It's a great challenge. It's a mental, physical and social challenge, but for me, it was a way to extend my platform to people that don't know me,' she added.
With her work as a conservationist, Laura is leading the charge as an advocate and ambassador for change.

As a model with 15 years' experience, Laura has had to adapt to the new digital age.
'I think Instagram can be a blessing and a curse,' she said.
'It can be great for spreading messages and seeing more diversity within people in body shapes and everything.
'It also gives people an easy way to compare themselves to others.'
