Bianca Gascoigne has revealed the heartbreaking reason she opted to get a Brazilian Butt Lift.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star opened up about the fact she suffered body dysmorphia during an interview with Lisa Snowdon for Fabulous magazine 's podcast, Things I Told My Daughter.
Revealing that she would always see herself as a "fat, chubby kid," Bianca claimed she had struggled with her body image for years.
She said: "It’s something I thought about for years and years and, like I said, I have this body dysmorphia.
"I have tried to get my bum how I wanted but I never really got there so I saw this as an option. But it really was a scary thing."
Bianca revealed she had multiple chats with both the doctors and her mum Sheryl before finally deciding to go through with the controversial operation.
Then, after careful consideration, four weeks ago she flew to Marbella for the treatment – which was booked with a doctor with over 25 years' experience.
Despite this, Bianca admitted that she hadn't been able to sit down for four weeks, and even getting dressed was currently hard for her.
Brazilian Butt Lifts have faced a lot of criticism online, after various reports of botched jobs and even women dying as a result of a shoddy operation.
Speaking about her daughter's decision to have the operation, her mum Sheryl told Lisa: "I was exceptionally worried because it was literally a week after sadly someone passed away from the operation," she said.
"I get annoyed that she doesn’t see how beautiful she is. She’s stunning and she doesn’t see that."
