These are the biggest reality TV celeb transformations of the last decade

It’s no surprise that people who go on reality TV shows have huge transformations – but when you look at the before and afters of some of the biggest celeb changes right next to each other, it’s still shocking every time.

Some of our favourite reality shows such as Love Island, Made in Chelsea, Geordie Shore and TOWIE are years old now, and former cast members are looking totally different. That might be because they’ve had surgery and cosmetic work done, but sometimes it’s just because they’ve grown up and moved away from awful trends back in the day.

Here is a rundown of the biggest reality TV celeb transformations there have been this decade. Strap in!

Faye is another Love Island star who had loads of old pictures of her resurface when she was in the villa. At the time, she said she has had lip fillers, breast implants and botox injections done. She told her fellow Islanders she had breast implants gifted to her from her parents for her 18th birthday – as she had been insecure about them for years.

Since leaving the 2021 villa, Faye has had loads of her filler removed and is looking a lot more natural. On Instagram she said she had a “lip flip” done, to make her lips look more shapely, but less full. She went on to say at “the biggest they were” her lips had 4ml of filler in them.

It was later reported she had a £2.5k chin liposuction and contouring procedure. She has said that she’s been having filler “for years”.

Back in 2019, after she was in the villa, Olivia said she had some of her top lip filler removed, and said she had taken getting it done “too far”. But, since getting some removed, she has said she is “excited” to have more work in the future. Ahead of her stint in the I’m A Celeb jungle, Olivia is said to have had some more work done, including botox.
