Gemma Collins has revealed that she’s had her £8,000 worth of Botox and filler dissolved in order to embrace her natural beauty.
The former TOWIE star admitted, “I have tried Botox and filler, and I had it all dissolved. I can’t stand it. I was looking at myself thinking ‘I just don’t look like me anymore’."
She added to The Sun, "The young girls of today, all these lips, it’s a bit too much. People think it’s the norm now, and it’s not.
"We’ve got to stay natural. People need to stop messing about with their faces!”
Multiple reality stars now seem to be advocating more natural beauty, including Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague who dissolved her lip filler back in October after she was left with “botched lips” following years of procedures from the age of 17.
