Erin McGregor hits back at online trolls who called her a man and accused her of getting cheek fillers

Erin McGregor has hit back at online trolls who claim she gets cheek fillers.

The eldest sister of controversial UFC star Conor McGregor admitted she gets lip fillers – but denied getting cheek fillers to her followers.

Speaking on Instagram, Erin said: “I see these comments from people giving the large one about my face or calling me a man.

“Giving the large one saying 'what I’ve done to my face' and 'look at her face'…. And 'they are full of filler' and 'relax on the filler'.

“I actually don’t have any filler in my face bar a little bit in my lip. I never really really liked my cheeks.. I absolutely hate them.”

The former Dancing With The Stars contestant said her beauty therapist who injects filler into her lips is trying to encourage Erin to love her natural cheeks.

“So when you see comments like that, I’m like ‘really? I actually don't have f***ing fillers in my cheeks’. I actually don’t like them.

“Just to confirm, I don’t have fillers in my cheeks, they are all my own, I don’t particularly like them but there you go,” she said.

The mum-of-two is currently recovering from surgery to remove her botched breast implants she got done several years ago.

The Dubliner is one of thousands of women who are part of the Poly Implant Prostheses breast implant scandal.

It was revealed that the implants used on these patients were not approved for medical use because they were made from a cheaper, industrial-grade silicone and were causing ruptures at a rate that was double the industry average.

Erin said: “Still lots of questions about my surgery. So I think… this is day ten but yeah I was up and about yesterday but I was a little bit pale last night.”

Erin also took to Instagram to correct the media over her story – saying it wasn’t a “botched boob job”.

“It wasn’t a botched boob job. It was a scandal that happened to hundreds of thousands of women that was actually a crime. A crime happened. It wasn’t a botched job. It was actual something criminal that happened for hundreds of thousands of women across the world and a man went to jail for that.

“It wasn’t like some bad boob job. The boob job was actually gorgeous, and I got amazing years out of it apart from the fact that it was the wrong implant.”

Erin said she has been doing "really well" and that the "pain meds have been amazing" even though the "last few days have been a bit blurry from the meds".

She said: "I put clingfilm around my chest. There's still all brown sticky paper there. So that's a little bit wet and then you have like a sports bra on."

Erin said her fiancé Terry has been helping her and even washing her but added that she "doesn't actually need as much minding as what she thought".

She said she kept putting off the surgery which she was supposed to do years ago until finally she went to her doctor and asked him, "Have you got something tomorrow?".

She said she didn't want to have to overthink it "because I've been thinking about it for so long, I don't want to be lying in bed awake thinking about my surgery."

She also added: "I was grand after the anaesthetic which I'm normally sick after."

Erin previously said she had been quoted €7,500 to fix her botched boob job and that she was too scared to get them done in case something happened to her while under the knife.
