The former ring girl opened up about the cosmetic work done after her appearance on the ITV2 reality dating show in 2021.
She said: ‘I had my lips done three months after leaving Love Island, and lip fillers last five to six months. They haven’t done anything to me since then; I just let it dissolve.
But people still assume I’ve had my lips done with Botox. People even say I’ve had a nose job when in fact I haven’t had any work.’
She explained: ‘I had braces for a long time and as my teeth moved they actually pushed my lips slightly. I feel like I don’t need it. If I did my lips with straight teeth now, it wouldn’t look good.’
