Alicia Douvall made headlines during her worrying former surgery addiction. Now, she warns that Katie Price risks 'seriously damaging' herself by going under the knife

Former glamour model Alicia Douvall has spent more than £1m on surgery after going under the knife 350 times.

However, she vowed to end her obsession with cosmetic procedures after she nearly died on the operating table in 2016.

Now Alicia, 38, who lived with Katie Price in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2015, is urging her friend to stop having surgery following her recent botched facelift, saying she risks causing herself "serious damage".

For her stint in the jungle in 2004, Jordan opted for practical corn rows and clear skin, but those shower scenes relaunched her career and set her firmly on a reality TV trajectory

Fresh out of the jungle and with a new man in the form of 90's pop sensation Peter Andre on her arm, Katie was all about the matchingoutfits. She ditched the braids and slap-free face for a more high maintenance look.

Now mainly known as Katie Price, she admitted after confirming her nose job, "I've always had a thing about my nose."I haven't had a full 100% nose job. They shaved the bone – they didn't break my nose. In fact, I liked my nose before and now. If I had a cupboard with both noses, I'd alternate between them!"

At 30, Katie was still young but already a fan of fillers."I get my forehead and around my eyes Botoxed every six months and I love it. You can't beat it," she said.

She's not been shy about the work she's had done on her teeth, either. "I didn't do it for cosmetics, I fell off a skateboard and cracked my teeth when I was younger," she admitted."They were so expensive. When I was in the US, I watched Extreme Makeover and went to see the dentist on there – $150,000 my bloody teeth cost me."

She was also one of the pioneers of lip fillers, sporting the plumped up pout that's so very mainstream these days.

By 2014, the boobs were most definitely BACK, as was a painfully taught-looking face.

As her facial muscles relaxed back to normal, her hair followed suit and Katie looked happier and more natural than she had in a while when she got together with Kieran Hayler.

Katie went into the CBB house in 2015 and admitted having her boobs reduced – but that things hadn't gone exactly to plan."They were going to take them out on Monday," she told her shocked housemates. "My implant was hanging out in New Year's Day. But it hasn't stopped me coming in, because I'm not running around."

We've lost track of where Katie's boobs were in 2016, but this is the year she seemed to become seriously addicted to fillers.

A botched botox job left Katie feeling 'ugly' in 2017."I absolutely hated it... the only thing I could do to sort it out was to remove the threads and then have a face lift. I never ever wanted a face lift at my age - I would have had one in years to come, but I didn't want one this young,"

She eventually returned the Brussels-based surgeon who fixed her botched boobs back in 2015.

By 2018 her face was back to normal, but not before shocking pictures emerged of her post surgery in Belgium, her face wrapped in bandaged and surgical fluid tubes hanging off her head.

Mum-of-two Alicia says: "I became addicted to surgery from a young age, so it’s hard to watch Katie going through the same thing.

"For me, going under the knife was my way of gaining control after a bad upbringing and the madness of the modelling world. And I believe Katie also uses it as a coping mechanism for her chaotic lifestyle.

"Just because surgery addiction isn’t as visible as alcoholism or drugs, it doesn’t mean that it’s any less of a struggle."

And Alicia worries that Katie may have serious regrets about her surgery in the future. She explains: "Katie needs to realise that plastic surgery isn’t her friend.

"She’s 39 years old, has five children and should understand that she’s never going to be 20 again. She needs to focus on who she is now."

The reality star went on to say: "I had lots of work done in my 20s because I never thought about what the consequences would be as I got older.

"I really regret it now and I often sit and dream about what I'd look like if I’d never had any surgery when I was a silly and gullible young girl.

"We were both too young to have surgery and that’s why we’ve had problems. She needs to stop, like I did, before she makes things any worse. It’s possible to cover-up a botched boob job but it’s impossible to hide if facial surgery goes wrong."

Instead, Alicia says that Katie should focus on other parts of her life. She says: "Katie needs to get a grip and have some tough love – because surgery will never help her gain control of her life.

"She needs to stop surgery for the sake of her five children - and she can still keep her great body through a healthy diet and exercise.

"Katie's a strong woman with an amazing life and an amazing career. She doesn’t need to fight to be in the spotlight anymore."

The Loose Women panelist recently unveiled her face after she decided to correct her facelift and it went down really well with fans.
