Amy Childs opens up about botched boob job and cosmetic surgery regrets

Amy Childs has opened up about her botched breast surgery and being bombarded with offers of cosmetic procedures when she was younger.

The 29-year-old TV star was just 20-years-old when she shot to fame as a star of The Only Way Is Essex back in 2010 – featuring on the first two seasons of the long running ITVBe show.

At the height of her reality show fame, Amy says she was frequently approached by cosmetic surgery companies offering free treatments.

The Sun on Sunday quotes Amy talking to Nicola Bonn on the Outspoken Beauty podcast about her regrets about accepting some of the offers – which left her with damaged breasts.

She said: “Being in the public eye, you get so much stuff gifted to you. At one point on Twitter, I had about 100 messages about lip fillers, all for free, all for publicity.

“Everyone was giving me free boob jobs and I thought, ‘You know what? I’m going to go a bit bigger’. So I had my second lot done then I had a rupture. I had an implant flip over in my body.

“Last year I had to have another operation when I had my children because they’d dropped so much. No one told me this when I was 18. So I want to put it all out there.”

Last week, Amy opened up about her past love for surgery, saying she thinks she looks like a “freak” in old photographs.

The star revealed all during a discussion on the BBC iPlayer show I’ve Been There.

She said: "I honestly look back at pictures now and I look like a freak.

"These 14 year old girls wanted to look up to me and I’m obviously part of the problem."

In the show, Amy met a pair of teenage fans who were planning to go under the knife – but the ex-TOWIE star tried to change their minds.

She advised: "I've got so much advice to give to you, it will definitely put you off surgery just so you know. I regret everything I've had done, everything."
