‘I nearly destroyed my looks’
She’s previously revealed she suffered from body dysmorphia after turning to cosmetic procedures in 2013. And Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson now says it’s easy to become addicted to fillers – and says she worries for vulnerable teenage girls, who see cosmetic procedures as normal now.
Marnie, 26, says, “I was 21 when I first got fillers and I got them because everyone else was getting them. I had fillers put in my lips and cheeks. I had different types of filler put in my face and went to lots of different practitioners. Before I knew it, I looked completely different. But I thought I looked great and it became addictive.
“My lips were huge and my cheeks looked ridiculous. Some of the filler migrated to different parts of my face, making me look puffy. I remember my mum saying, ‘Marnie, you don’t look like you.’ I thought I looked OK, but one day I saw photos of me and I realised just how overboard I had gone.
“I got them dissolved about a year ago. It’s so easy to think that fillers will change your face for the better, but it’s a slippery slope. I feel so sorry for teenage girls – fillers just seem normal to them.
“I get so many messages from young fans asking me about them, and I tell them to have a long, hard think about it before doing anything. If you go overboard, you can destroy your natural looks, like I nearly did.”
