She went from fourteen stone down to seven stone, before becoming a size 16 in just two years, leading to severe hair loss.

“Gaining weight also changed my face.
“So this transplant is just one thing to get me on my way to feeling better about myself.”
The television star continued saying that her extreme weight fluctuation caused “lasting damage”.
She told the publication: “My doctor told me I’d done lasting damage and there’s nothing I can do to change that,” she said on Loose
“My hair is so thin and horrendous from the lack of nutrients, I’ve got like five real hairs left.

She said: “When I was slim if I just ate some sweets or a bag of chips I’d straight away put on 5lb because my body was so messed up.
“I find because I’ve been on such extreme diets in the past, if I try to lose weight my body won’t react in the same way.
“It’s a much slower process now because I’ve totally messed up my metabolism.”
