The former boxing promoter- formerly named Frank- revealed he was transgender earlier this year. He was booked to undergo sex change surgery in January, but the op has since been cancelled following a painful cosmetic procedure.

Speaking to The Mirror, he revealed: “I was bleeding out of my eyes and I was in unimaginable pain.

“Then I just felt my head inflating like a balloon. It was getting bigger and bigger by the second, I could hardly see. I feared it was going to explode.”

“When I looked at my face in the mirror after the surgery to save me I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. I saw my reflection and I just cried my eyes out.

“I thought I would never again pass as a woman or be able to go out in public. I was grotesquely swollen. I was black and blue and had drainage tubes coming out of my head. I had become a monster like Frankenstein’s.”

Kellie now regrets undergoing the procedure.

“I am so angry with myself for attempting to do something as radical as I had wanted.

“But it is every transsexual’s dream to leave home one day without anyone even thinking for a second that you could have once been a man.”

KELLIE MALONEY: 'I DONT KNOW WHAT MY SEXUALITY IS'

She continued: “The night I saw myself in the mirror after surgery was the longest of my life.

“I remember opening the window and staring down into the street, just wanting to prove to myself that I was still alive. I was devastated.

“It was as if I had gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson in his pomp and another 10 with Lennox Lewis for good measure.”
