Married At First Sight’s Gemma Rose shows off weight loss after gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey
MARRIED At First Sight’s Gemma Rose Barnes showed off her weight loss after getting gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey.
The 31-year-old, who appeared on the Channel 4 show last year, took to Instagram to show off before and after pics.
Gemma headed off to Turkey to go under the knife eight weeks ago.
The reality star revealed some snaps of her slimmed down frame after the surgery on her social media.
In one picture Gemma posed in a black sports bra with bandages on her stomach.
This was followed by a snap of her in a black spaghetti strap crop top and black leggings, which showed off her shrinking waist.
Gemma captioned the post: “Grateful to have changed my life @booking_surgery @davidturker1981.”
Fans rushed to share the love.
One wrote: “Looking incredible 
.”
“Stunning beaut 
I’m 7 weeks post op today x,” a second said.
A third chimed in: “Look amazing.. I’d love to do this too but can’t afford it 
x well done on ur hard work x.”
It comes after Gemma revealed her previous alcohol addiction which ‘took over her life’.
She opened up about it all in a candid post in April.
Gemma said: “Hi guys. I’m just coming onto Instagram to talk about something incredibly important and something that has been affecting my life for a really, really long time.
“I’ve been struggling with addiction and it’s taken over my life. This has been the hardest few years. I definitely think Covid was the biggest catalyst for all my problems.”
She went on: “I struggled to get better. I’ve been very, very poorly.
“Addiction is an illness. It’s a disease and there is just so much help available. My addiction has left me pushing away friends and family.
“Pushing people away that were closest to me and still mattered, isolated myself. It left me in a really dark place.
“I promised that I would always be open and honest, no matter how hard it is and this is hard.”
Gemma bravely continued: “It’s really hard admitting that you have a problem.
“I can’t live my life with this illness anymore. My life has become unmanageable.”
The reality revealed she had tried to recover from the illness by attempting to stop drinking altogether and although it worked for some time she found herself slipping back.
She went on: “I’m allergic to that lifestyle. It’s made me very poorly, mentally and physically.”
Looking stunning in a leopard print shirt with flawless make-up and hair, the reality star told fans she was now in recovery by taking part in the 12 steps of recovery programme and has a sponsor.
She told her fans: “It’s changed my life already.
“In this period I’ve reached out and asked for help from people who understand because they’ve been through it.”
Gemma tied the knot with Matt Murray on the show in 2022.
