Britain’s Got Talent star Francine Lewis, 47, has opened up about her botched cosmetic surgery procedure.
The impressionist revealed that she held off having her 18-year-old implants replaced and ended up with severe inflammation, which looked like she had grown a third breast.
The ITV star regrets having the operation in the first place and has warned other women against the procedure.

She confessed: “I feel like I’m on a rollercoaster I wish I’d never got on, and now can’t get off.
“Getting breast implants is not a one-off operation. This is something you have to keep doing to maintain them, and now I’m stuck in such a horrible situation.”

The comedian, who appeared on Britains Got Talent in 2013, got her implants in 2003 after feeling as though her 28C boobs got droopy and deflated following breastfeeding.
She admitted: “Before pregnancy, I had nice full breasts, but afterwards, they were just empty bean bags. Trying to get a cleavage was impossible and it really affected my confidence.
“So I went to a surgeon recommended to me by Katie Price and I loved my new double Ds. He did an amazing job and they literally suited me.”

Following the surgery, Francine was happy. However, it wasn’t until November 2020 that she noticed some swelling in her left breast.
She said: “I was about to start filming the Christmas special for BGT when I got this excruciating pain in my left breast. Then all of a sudden, it swelled to the point where I looked deformed like I had a third breast.”
Following a trip to the doctor, Francine was told: “I’ve been telling you for years that these needed to come out, but you wouldn’t listen!”

Opening up about her regret, she confessed:” ‘Why did I do this?’ It was for my vanity and now look where I’d ended up.”
She revealed the operation to replace the implants took three hours as the complications were more severe than doctors first thought.
Reflecting on the ordeal, she said: “If I’d not had them done in the first place, I would have been fine.”
