Loose Women panelist Olivia Attwood has opened up about her surgery procedures and how much she’s spent over the years.
The former Love Island contestant, who appeared on the ITV reality dating show in 2017, has gone through quite a physical transformation. However, unlike many stars who try and deny it, Olivia has always been transparent about her surgery.
Olivia Attwood says part of her job is ‘looking a certain way’
During a new interview with the MailOnline, Olivia, 33, said she spends “a couple of grand a month” on keeping her image in tip-top shape.
From skincare products, vitamins, gym memberships and all of her aesthetic procedures, she admitted: “It’s mental, but that’s the tax I pay for the life I’ve put myself into.”
Olivia insisted it is necessary to splash the cash, stating it’s part of her job to look good.
“My appearance wasn’t just social currency; it was economic currency for me. Part of the job is taking care of yourself and looking a certain way,” she said.
Olivia spent £10k to get her breast implants removed
Olivia, who hosts her own podcast, So Wrong It’s Right, outside of her Loose Women gig, has been open about getting Botox and filler every couple of months. She also has laser treatment regularly for skin pigmentation and medical-grade facials.
She insisted that by age 70, she’ll “probably have had a facelift”.
At age 20, Olivia underwent her first boob job, which gave her a 32E and cost £3k. She described her breasts as “watermelons”, and not in proportion to her figure.
As a result of them feeling “uncomfortable” and if her skin was “stretched”, Olivia spent roughly £10k to have the implants removed. She went down to a 32DD.
In 2019, Olivia had chin liposuction and contouring procedure for £2.5k. She also had her lip filler dissolved after she said it made her look “grotesque”.
‘People want celebrities to look like they haven’t had cosmetic interventions’
Olivia isn’t ashamed of her surgery and believes it’s “snobby” to put people down for it.
“People want celebrities to look like they haven’t had cosmetic interventions,” she said.
“But [the ‘natural’ look] is contrived and just a wealth divide between those who can afford really well-created and well-performed tweaks versus people who can’t. It’s another way to make women feel inadequate.”
Olivia insisted a “monthly non-negotiable” is getting her brows “tinted and laminated”. In between, she uses a “nano brow” to help them grow.
Olivia Attwood might be an open book when it comes to discussing her surgery. But, she’s also discussed how public scrutiny hasn’t changed how she feels about herself.
Olivia Attwood: ‘I was always confident about the way I looked’
During an interview with The Guardian, Olivia said that growing up, she was “always confident about the way I looked”.
“Being pretty was definitely social currency when I growing up, and I was aware of it from a young age. I was told I should feel lucky, which I definitely did, but sometimes I did worry it was the only thing I brought to the table. Especially when I got into modelling. No one gave a [bleep] about what I had to say,” she continued.
“When I was doing promotions work, I had to have hair past my shoulders and a certain french manicure. There was a uniform to it. When I was in Love Island, I was totally free to look the way I wanted. I came out and people were actually listening to me – they also thought I was funny, which is the biggest compliment anyone could ever pay me.”
‘I looked a mess’
During her early modelling days, Olivia insisted she “looked a mess” for the first two years. She was “partying every night of the week”, her “extensions were hanging out”, her “lips were overfilled”, and her fake tan was “patchy”.
Olivia added: “Now I am a bit more considered. It’s not that I think women can’t be in a skimpy dress and be taken seriously, because I still do the skimpy dress. But I’ve now made the link between how you show up and how people receive you.”
She stated that when she creates her documentaries, she doesn’t wear makeup as she wants “the show to be about whoever I am speaking to, not my [bleep]s and lips”.
Olivia shared it is “liberating to scrape my hair back, pull a jumper on and get on with my job”.
She credited her footballer husband, Bradley Dack, for being “an amazing support system for me”. However, she is “not dependent on him”.
