The star, who said she would now like to become a mother and get married, has since had silicone breast implants, her Adam’s apple removed, and her jawline shaved and her chin modified.
She added: “In 2018 when I was on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK here I was becoming desperate and very anxious, and I asked (producers) please send me wigs and dresses. I was already taking female hormones.”
