Abigail Clarke is going to extreme lengths to give herself an image overhaul ahead of a return to reality television.
The TV personality shot to fame as a cast member of The Only Way Is Essex in 2013 and has reportedly decided to go under the knife before her comeback to our screens.
But Abi is apparently terrified of going into the operating theatre ahead of appearing on the ITVBe show again.
She is said to considering removing a rib to make herself look thinner and undergoing liposuction.
A source told the Daily Mirror: “She’s absolutely scared - and is worried it’s going to go wrong, especially with her ribs.”
But Abi is determined to get what she sees as the perfect figure to compete with the younger cast members.
The source added: “She feels she needs to do this though, she thinks she needs to prove herself.
“She believes people think she’s a has-been, that she’s lost it, that she’s old news.”
Abi appeared on Channel 4’s Bodyshockers last year and spoke of the trouble she experienced after her lip fillers went wrong but the experience isn’t putting her off further enhancements.
In fact, she’s hoping it will get her even more noticed by telly producers.
The source concluded: “Abi wants to enhance herself to a point where it’s impossible to ignore her.”
