'A year ago, after telling my GP how ugly I felt when I looked in the mirror, I was diagnosed with body dysmorphia and referred for therapy to help me learn to believe in myself,' she said.
'But I still feel like I have to get hair extensions and fillers – it's like I'm being injected with confidence.'

Posting regular selfies to her Twitter feed, one showed off her before and after pictures, captioned 'No one is ugly just broke'.
Alex currently works as a flight attendant, and draws in comparisons to Chloe Khan's makeover.
Speaking to The Daily Star, she said: 'I totally applaud Chloe for what's she done, how she looks and the way she's become. She's transformed her life and proved everybody wrong.

'[Chloe] She did make a bit of a show of herself on TV, as did I, and I just think it gives you more determination to do well for yourself and to better yourself. She looks phenomenal she should be proud.'
'I do not behave how those girls behave. I don't watch Geordie Shore so I only go off what people tell me but people having sex on TV and getting your boobs out it's just not me'

'I do not behave how those girls behave. I don't watch Geordie Shore so I only go off what people tell me but people having sex on TV and getting your boobs out it's just not me,' she told the publication.
