Love Island’s Jess, 22, reveals she did her OWN Botox days before villa to avoid ‘biggest fear’
LOVE Island star Jess Harding has revealed she injected her own Botox before going into the villa.
Despite only being 22 the beautician said she was terrified of having wrinkles on telly.
Jess, from West London, said before the show: “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.”
She admitted: “I do have a little bit of Botox and filler. I just got it because when it’s your job it’s quite easy to just say, ‘Go on then.’
“A lot of the practitioners work together. I’ve had so many of my practitioner friends come to me, like, ‘Babe, can you just put it in my face?’
“To us it’s nothing, and people are spending hundreds and thousands. It’s easily influenced but I’m quite scared of needles, considering it’s my job.”
“When it’s cheap and you can get someone else to do it for you, you can’t really turn it down.”
Jess said she has been getting lip filler since she was 18 and progressed to her cheeks, because “it just gives a structure to the face.”
She added: “I don’t think it looks fake or anything like that.”
Islanders are known for their love of cosmetic surgery, and many past stars have entered the villa with new veneers or, as they are nicknamed, “Turkey teeth“.
They are called this because people often fly to Turkey to get them done cheaply.
Jess revealed this is something that she actually finds attractive.
Speaking on day one in the ITV2 villa, she told Maya Jama: “I like Turkey teeth, I don’t know why!”
Taken aback, Maya replied: “Well, do you know what, that is niche!”
Jess then said: “Don’t get me wrong I’m not just looking for someone with Turkey teeth, if they’e got nice teeth that’s fine, but if they’ve got Turkey teeth that’s a bonus!”
