Single mum Chloe Sims explains why she keeps her 14-year-old daughter in the dark about the multiple nip/tucks she’s had done – and why she’s planning more
She’s been refreshingly open about having multiple cosmetic procedures, totalling a reported £32,000, but when it comes to revealing the truth about her transformation to her 14-year-old daughter, Madison, Chloe Sims isn’t ready to come clean.
Chloe, 36 – who has had two boob jobs, two Brazilian bum lifts, Botox, fillers and veneers – says, "I don’t discuss it [surgery] with Maddy. I had my boobs done five or six years ago, when she was really young.
"I just didn’t talk to her about it. [When] I was in pain, I’d just say I’d fallen over on my boobs and she’d totally buy it. I don’t think she even knows what ‘fake boobs’ means. I just don’t think I need to sit down and go, ‘Mummy’s done this and that’."

Sam Faiers

Yes apparently at 24 I have had an eye lift. "At fashion week I tried new looks with my makeup & now according to them I have had a face lift. "It's hurtful & not true!"So we've decided to leave these photos here; on the left she was 19 and on the right she's 27...
Meg Ryan

Alicia Douvall

Lauren Goodger

Tulisa Contostavlos
After shocking fans with her transformation, N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos has admitted she's altered her face. On the Jonathan Ross show, she explained: "To clarify, I haven't had surgery.

Katie Price
Katie Price is one celeb who has been VERY open and honest about having surgery done; people accused her of being on drugs after she posted a bizarre video about her facelift, she then said she needs to "sort out" her plastic surgery before her agent admitted her facelift "knocked her confidence". Over the years the former glamour model has had boob jobs, a nose job, veneers, a facelift, botox, liposuction, dermal fillers and non-surgical procedures that include dermal roller micro-needling treatment and a Geneo+ facial.Wowza!
Kylie Jenner
One of the most dramatic celeb transformations is definitely Kylie Jenner. After months of speculation the KUWTK star finally admitted that she did get lip fillers when she was 17 because it was an "insecurity" of hers. However, surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe told Closer that Kylie's face is out of proportion. He explained: "Kylie looks as though she's had too much filler in her cheeks, lips and above her eyebrows."As a result, her cheeks are now alarmingly wife and her eyes appear sunken. Her whole face appears out of proportion. She looks way beyond her years, maybe even a decade older."

And I'm almost like, I swear things are still in my face."

Renée Zellweger
After a five-year break from movies no one could quite believe how different Renée Zellweger looked. However, the Bridget Jones star denied having any surgery in a letter written for Huffington Post.She wrote: "Not that it's anyone's business, but I did not make a decision to alter my face and have surgery on my eyes. "This fact is of no true import to anyone at all, but that the possibility alone was discussed among respected journalists and became a public conversation is a disconcerting illustration of news/entertainment confusion and society's fixation on physicality."
Amy Childs
TOWIE's Amy Childs had admitted to having a boob job, botox, lip fillers and veneers. However in an interview with Closer magazine she admitted: "I'm not planning on getting anything else done and don't think I ever will because surgery has left me with so many problems."My boobs have drooped so much now and they're so heavy. I need to wear as push-up bra - nobody told me this before I had my boobs done."
Lauren Pope
TOWIE star Lauren Pope looks VERY different from when she first graced our screens in 2010. The reality tv star has admitted she's had a boob job, botox and a 'his and hers' nose job she got alongside her then boyfriend Kirk Norcross.
Chloe Sims
As well as having two boob jobs and a Brazilian bum lift, TOWIE's Chloe Sims has admitted to having veneers, Botox and filler. She told Now Magazine: "I've had Botox in my forehead. I've also had fillers around my mouth and in my lips and I've got a set of veneers."
Bobby Norris
Last year TOWIE fans were shocked at Bobby Norris' face and while there was lots of speculation that he had plastic surgery, the reality star quickly shut down all the rumours. Sharing a video on Twitter, he explained that he's only had a nose job: "I can assure you, categorically that I've only had one septo-rhinoplasty on my nose."I've had no other surgeries - I'm just a little bit swollen. Sorry to disappoint guys but just the one surgery and I love it."

Friends star Courteney Cox surprised everyone in 2016 with her new err, look. The actress looked miles different and has since admitted to removing the filler in her face. She told New Beauty: "I've had all my fillers dissolved. I'm as natural as I can be. I feel better because I look like myself. I think that I now look more like the person I was."I've had to learn to embrace movement and realise that fillers are not my friend."
Georgia Kousoulou
TOWIE's Georgia Kousoulou is another reality star whose face looks very different from when she first graced our screens. The TV star has admitted to having a nose job, lip fillers and a boob job.
Chloe Khan
X Factor turned Celebrity Big Brother star Chloe Khan has definitely changed over the years.The reality star has had chin filler to get rid of her dimple, two boob jobs, veneers, a Brazilian bum lift, a nose job and we can't forget the time she got her lips done but the surgery went terribly wrong.Eek!Speaking about the cosmetic surgery she has had, Chloe told Closer magazine: "I understand surgery's not for everyone, but I look a million times better after this [bum lift] procedure."I really don't care what people think."
Ferne McCann
After being bullied at school for her nose, former TOWIE star Ferne McCann got a nose job in 2016 and showed it off on TV.Despite fans thinking she had lip fillers while she was pregnant, Ferne's previously told Closer magazine she won't have Botox or face fillers."Everyone thinks surgery is a slippery slope and that you get addicted but, for me, my nose job was the only thing I wanted to get done."I don't know what else I would have done, even if I wanted it," she told the magazine.She added: "I'm 26 and I think Botox and fillers actually make you look older. I like expression on a face."
She adds, "I don’t think this is the right age for her. Obviously she’s going to hear things in school, but it isn’t enough for her to question me. I haven’t explained what a boob job is because I don’t think it’s a relevant conversation for her right now."
Chloe was 18 when she got pregnant by her then-boyfriend Matthew, whom she dated for seven years. In May, he was pictured for the first time with Chloe at Madison’s birthday.
Madison, who has learning difficulties, has made occasional appearances on TOWIE and Chloe describes her as “a young 14-year-old” who she protects fiercely and she hasn’t yet allowed her to pierce her ears, wear make-up or go out with her friends unaccompanied.
Chloe became obsessed with fake eyelashes, fake tan and make-up when she was 15, and would wipe it off on the school bus home to avoid being reprimanded by her "really strict" dad, Tony – but she doesn’t want the same for her daughter.
She says, "I’m a lioness. It’s very important to have a long childhood. I just tell her every day, 'You’re beautiful, you’re perfect' because I want her to be confident and not rely on hair and make-up and clothes to feel that way, because I was insecure as a youngster and I never felt beautiful."
In the past, Chloe has faced abuse on social media over her dramatic cosmetic overhaul, which began four years before she joined TOWIE in 2011. In her 2013 autobiography The Only Way Is Up, Chloe revealed the Botox she first tried in 2009 had become "addictive".
The same year she boosted her bust from a 34B to a 34DD-cup, and in 2011 she underwent more surgery to have an EE-cup. Her first collagen lip treatment was in 2010 when she was working as a Playboy bunny in French night clubs and a year later she splashed out £19,000 on veneers, which were too big for her mouth and needed replacing in 2014.
In 2012, Chloe invested £4,500 in a Brazilian butt lift to enhance her "flat granny bum" but later deemed the surgery a "failure", so last year she went under the knife again and is "delighted" with the results.
And Chloe is now contemplating more work – removing her implants. She says, "I would love to have my boobs removed, I know they’re big but they look even bigger in photos.
"It really cheapens me and even though I shouldn’t care what people think, I feel that people judge me. I would really like to just click my fingers and just have my B-cup back. It’s such a big operation. I don’t need to do it for health reasons or need to change them right now, so maybe I should just wait."
Chloe has had a colourful love life. After a short-lived fling with Mario Falcone in 2014, she went on to date another fellow TOWIE co-star, Elliott Wright, who has two children, and they holidayed as one big blended family. She also dated TOWIE newbie Adam Oukhellou last year. Falling for co-star Dan Edgar while filming in Thailand left Chloe heartbroken when he returned to on/off girlfriend Amber Turner last month.
But while Chloe is yet to meet Mr Right, she admits the prospect of living with a man is daunting because of the impact on Madison.
She says, "Since I broke up with Maddy’s dad, I’ve not lived with another guy and that would be the biggest problem because Maddy’s used to having me all to herself.
"If anyone talks about me having any more kids, she hates it. She goes, 'No Mummy, you don’t want to have any more children, because you’ve got me'."

But Chloe says she is "swaying" towards not having any more children anyway.
She adds, "I thought I would for ages then, in the past couple of years, I’ve started thinking I won’t. We live in a scary world and I already worry myself sick over the child I’ve got, so I don’t know if I want togo through that.
"But you never know, I might be married and pregnant next year!"
