Former heroin addict stuns Jeremy Kyle fans with incredible transformation

Former The Jeremy Kyle Show participant Michelle Wallace has stunned fans of the axed show by unveiling her transformation after a year of sobriety.

The talk show star lived a life of prostitution and was addicted to heroin for 20 years before she turned her life around following an appearance on the now axed ITV show.

Next month will mark 12-months since Michelle quit her drug habit and she took to social media to show fans how far she had come by sharing before-and-after photos of herself.

Taking to popular video sharing app Tik Tok, Michelle unveiled her new, healthier appearance.

"Today a year ago I'm came [sic] to Luton off the jk show to rehab I'm gonna be a year clean on the 1/12/09,” she wrote as she shared her striking images.

Fans of The Jeremy Kyle Show would be forgiven for not recognising the formerly gaunt, grey-skinned woman as she shared her new look.

Gone are the greasy, dark locks of hair and instead Michelle has a fresh, thicker head of hair, while her face looks noticeably refreshed, fuller, and healthier.

Michelle featured on The Jeremy Kyle show after her sister banned her from her grandmother’s funeral amid accusations she was a thief.

Michelle then vowed to kick her heroin habit - shocking fans when she appeared on the show again in April after beginning rehab.

One fan of the show wrote on Twitter : "Oh my god, she looks amazing! #JeremyKyle,” while another said: " She looks 20 years younger. #jeremykyle".

The Jeremy Kyle Show was pulled off the air and axed for good earlier this year after another participant killed themselves after filming scenes which never aired.
