These are the biggest reality TV celeb transformations of the last decade

I need to sit down for this

| UPDATED

It’s no surprise that people who go on reality TV shows have huge transformations – but when you look at the before and afters of some of the biggest celeb changes right next to each other, it’s still shocking every time.

Some of our favourite reality shows such as Love Island, Made in Chelsea, Geordie Shore and TOWIE are years old now, and former cast members are looking totally different. That might be because they’ve had surgery and cosmetic work done, but sometimes it’s just because they’ve grown up and moved away from awful trends back in the day.

Here is a rundown of the biggest reality TV celeb transformations there have been this decade. Strap in!

Back in 2019, after she was in the villa, Olivia said she had some of her top lip filler removed, and said she had taken getting it done “too far”. But, since getting some removed, she has said she is “excited” to have more work in the future. Ahead of her stint in the I’m A Celeb jungle, Olivia is said to have had some more work done, including botox.
