A woman has shocked millions on TikTok revealing her dramatic transformation after losing 12 stone – now strongly resembling an A-list celeb.
Ellie Jefferies went viral on the app, with the pictures garnering 2.3 million views.
Following a trend on TikTok where users show off their celebrity lookalikes, the 26-year-old, from East Midlands, shared a picture of herself before losing weight, saying: “Kylie, make me pretty like you.”

A picture of Kylie Jenner appears, with the writing: “Ask Margot.”
A shot of the Hollywood actress can then be seen, with the text: “I’ve got you.”
The post then swaps to a recent picture of Ellie, showing the dramatic change in her appearance – and the visible similarities to Margot.
The popular post racked up more than 290,000 likes and left viewers stunned by the likeness.
“Girl. I. Was. Not. Ready,” one follower wrote.
Another person commented: “This is the first one of these that I’ve been actually blow away by.”
“Omg Margot Robbie!! You go girl, banging glow up!” someone else agreed.
Another fan wrote: “Oh my god if this isn’t inspo.”
“My jaw dropped,” another user added.
Someone else commented: “You could be her sister!”
Ellie made headlines after flying to Turkey to have a gastric sleeve fitted, alongside her husband Rhys, after years of disordered eating led their weights to swell.
Back in January 2022, Ellie weighed 23 stone and was desperate to get out of food addiction.
After they shed 24 stone between them – with Ellie now weighing 11st and Rhys dropping from 26st to 14st 5lbs – they flew back to Turkey for a ‘couple’s tummy tuck’, spending a total of £20,000 funding their new, healthier bodies.
Ellie told Need To Know: “We put buying a house on hold because, by this point, we were desperate to lose weight.
“Anything we had saved in the bank needed to be used to save our lives.
“Some people there say we cheated – but nobody understands the mental side of having the surgery.
“We’ve had to completely change the way we think about food.
“A lot of work has gone into becoming who we are today – the surgery was just the beginning.
“We track our calories daily and work extremely hard to maintain our weight and stay healthy.
“Our results have been incredible.
“Losing weight is the best thing we have ever done.
“We are both over the moon, feeling very active and ready to do life!”
