Everybody is saying I look exactly the same, which is fine. I just had small insecurities that I wanted to change, so I did it for me, no one else. “I could have done it without posting about it too, but I thought, why not? F**k it.” Most read in TV Documenting the surgery process via social media, Amy took fans along with her for the journey as she shared snaps from before and after the procedure – including when she took the bandages off and was very swollen. Back in 2024, the star was matched with Luke Debono on MAFS, but the pair failed to make things work on the reality show. She then went on to take part in Celebrity Ex On The Beach, which aired earlier this year. Following the stint, Amy remains single and says she is open to taking part in even more reality TV to find The One. She explained~ “I’m still single, so I’m open to more shows. ” I’m not sure the traditional dating ones would work for me though. I think I’m better suited to Masterchef or Bake Off – can they do a dating Bake Off show?!” Comment now
