Love Island star Jess Harding, 22, has been having cosmetic surgery for FOUR years

She’s just 22, but Love Islander Jess Harding has been having cosmetic surgery for FOUR years.

The singleton is hoping to find love in the villa, but is already running her own successful West London cosmetic procedure company Candy Aesthetics, where she offers fat dissolving treatments, fillers, Botox and Brazilian bum lifts.

And she first started dabbling in her own procedures aged just 18, but now has more since joining the industry - after she was sacked from her job at a plumbers.

When it’s cheap and you can get someone else to do it for you, you can’t really turn it down,” she says.

“Considering it’s my job I don’t actually have a lot done,” she adds. “I think a lot of practitioners do have their whole face jabbed, but I do stick to the natural look.

“I’ve had a little bit of Botox and just a bit of cheek and chin filler and lips.

“I had my lips done, since I was 18 I had such little lips, but it started off getting a little bit in my cheeks, just because it gives off that nice contour, it just gives a structure to the face.

“I don’t think it looks fake or anything like that.”

She started having Botox six months ago after a social media post drew a comment about a line on her forehead, which she said was her “biggest insecurity” and says her procedures give her more confidence.

“They do say for prevention you should start getting Botox in your early 20s to prevent you from getting wrinkles by the time you’re older. So, it’s a positive.”

Now, she’s packed a case full of beauty products for her time in the villa.

“I bought all my hair oil, eyebrow tint, can’t forget that cause she’s my world bless her,” she says, referring to her brows as “she”.

“Little essentials, foot cream. I actually thought if I’m gonna be in the sun all day maybe walking around with no shoes on, my feet are gonna get dry, so you’ve got to think outside the box in these situations.

“I’ve had my hair done, had my lashes done. I’ve still got hairy legs, I’m saving them till the last day.

Love Island starts on Monday at 9pm on ITV2.
