Love Island Jess Harding’s mum reveals star’s fillers and Botox before the villa – but insists ‘she doesn’t need it’
LOVE Island star Jess Harding’s mum has talked about the star getting fillers and Botox before going into the villa.
However her mother also insisted that she doesn’t think her daughter “needed any work done.”
Jess has caused a storm in the famous villa so far this series, and is now one of the most popular Islanders.
The reality star – who works as an aesthetics practitioner – has been open and honest about her love of cosmetic treatments.
But today her mum Sarah revealed that she didn’t think her daughter needed any work done.
Speaking to this week’s New magazine, she said: “Well, she’s 22 and an adult.
“Personally I don’t think she should at her age.
“But she hasn’t had much done, just some lip filler and a bit of Botox in her forehead – which she really didn’t need!”
Her mum also said that she was “very proud” of Jess being on Love Island, and added that she was “really herself” with “no fakeness”.
Meanwhile, Jess was recently seen before she underwent a villa makeover with fillers and Botox.
The blonde stunner was pictured five years ago with braces, darker blonde hair and a natural pout.
In the throwback snap, a teenage Jess beams for the photograph at 17 before having work done.
Jess previously told of the cosmetic treatments she had done ahead of joining the ITV2 show.
She said: “Obviously, my job is aesthetics, I’m a practitioner so I have had a bit done…
“I’ve had a bit of Botox and filler but nothing too much.
“I had my hair, lashes and nails done too… just the standard prep for a girl.”
In fact, Jess actually injected herself with Botox.
Despite only being 22, Jess injected her forehead because she was so terrified of having “wrinkles” on the ITV2 show.
She’s also been getting lip filler since she was 18 and progressed to her cheeks, because “it just gives a structure to the face”.
Jess, from West London, said before the Love Island launch: “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.”
Meanwhile, Jess was applauded when she entered the villa last month due to her ‘real’ figure and natural curves.
