This announcement comes a few months after the initial launch of the eagerly anticipated Hike Life collection, which saw many followers express disappointment at the lack of sizes available.
Roz, a body positivity advocate, apologised at the time, saying that she had chosen not to release sizes 16 - 18 as they were "too small."
"I realise there's a lot of people who feel really disappointed and let down and I completely understand that," she said. "I feel like I didn't communicate correctly over the last few weeks about what was going on.
"When I first announced that I was doing the Hike Life gear and the initial drop was supposed to go up to a size 20 and hopefully moving on from that, the brand would go beyond a size 20.
"When the sample sizing arrived two weeks ago, all the sizes seemed absolutely fine, six to eight, ten to 12 but the 18 to 20 and the 16 to 18 were just too small."

Roz went onto say that she didn't "communicate the message well enough". She added that she wanted to introduce plus sized shoppers to her team to avoid such issues in the future.
"Hindsight's a great thing. I feel really stupid and f*cking really inconsiderate that I didn't actually just wait until everything was together," she said
"I really apologise for that and look it's made me really think as someone who's always worn straight sizes that if I do want the Hike Life brand to be inclusive I need to do better."
The new Hike Life collection is expected to drop at the end of May or the beginning of June.
