Love Island’s Jess Harding unrecognisable before fillers and Botox – and villa makeover
LOVE Island star Jess Harding has been seen before she underwent a villa makeover with fillers and botox.
The 22-year-old was pictured five years ago with braces, darker blonde hair and a natural pout.
Teenage Jess – who now works as an aesthetics practitioner – beamed for the photograph at 17 before having work done.
Jess told of the cosmetic treatments she had done ahead of joining the ITV2 show.
She said: “Obviously, my job is aesthetics, I’m a practitioner so I have had a bit done…
“I’ve had a bit of Botox and filler but nothing too much.
“I had my hair, lashes and nails done too… just the standard prep for a girl.”
In fact, Jess actually injected herself with botox.
Despite only being 22, Jess injected her forehead because she was so terrified of having ‘wrinkles’ on the ITV2 show.
She’s also been getting lip filler since she was 18 and progressed to her cheeks, because “it just gives a structure to the face”.
Jess, from West London, said before the Love Island launch: “The other day I did do my own Botox because no one was available.
“It was horrible but I had to do it, you can’t have wrinkles on telly.”
The blonde bombshell also admits to buying 50 brand new bikinis to take into the villa.
She added: “I do love a holiday, I am a proper jet setter, but I can’t rewear a bikini… I’ve had to buy 50 brand new bikinis.”
Jess coupled with Sammy in last night’s recoupling – despite his flirtation with love rival Leah.
Leah broke down after being described as a “test” by Sammy.
Jess was applauded when she entered the villa earlier this month due to her ‘real’ figure and natural curves.
