Megan McKenna on TOWIE pressure to get boobs done and how she resisted

Megan McKenna has shared her pride that she didn't have a boob job saying she is happy with her 100% natural assets.

The Essex-born beauty said she once felt she ''needed'' to go under the knife as she was surrounded by other TV stars who had opted to have enhancements to improve their looks.

The Former TOWIE star told The Sun on Sunday: “Back in the day I definitely considered getting my boobs done.

“Maybe it was the crowd and the TV shows I was on that were making me feel like I needed that.

"But I am so happy I didn’t have that done, because I love my boobs now.”

And 29-year-old says people often wrongly assume she has had work done on her derrière but she is quick to point out she is simply blessed with a naturally curvy bottom.

Meghan admits that trends over body image will always attempt to influence those in the spotlight but she remains passionate about her ''100% natural body''.

She concluded: "So I’m so happy that I’ve kept my body the way it is. I would never change it.

“And surgery can get addictive. Ultimately, you are what you are.”

But there is one thing Meghan has happily altered - she's ditched her brunette locks for platinum blonde as she quips ''blondes have more fun'' as she admits to ''completely changing her look'' as she embarks on a new phase of her career.

Since finding fame in Ex On The Beach, TOWIE and Celebrity Big Brother, Meghan has pursued her passion for country music and proved her talents as she topped the the iTunes country charts with her debut album Story Of Me in 2018.

Her other notable achievements include a victory on X Factor: Celebrity, performing Leona Lewis’s One More Sleep in the show’s 2019 final.

Since then she landed a dream job performing with music legend Sir Tom Jones, 81, on tour last autumn, and admits she would love to 'crack America' on her own 'big tour bus' in the next decade.

Megan's love life has recently taken a blow as she announced she split from boyfriend Josh, 28, the owner of a luxury fashion brand, after 20 months of dating.

But despite feeling down about the 'amicable' split, she insists she's not ready to settled down as she turns 30 next year but wouldn't rule out future romances that come along.

And the tough transition from reality star to country singer has seen her face a torrent of abuse on social media.

Much of the focus of the abuse was surrounding her weight but she has since reassured followers that the fluctuation is due to an autoimmune condition celiac disease.

In the most harsh accusations one troll accuses her of ''smoking crack'' as her weight dropped dramatically, with another calling her anorexic’' and even the ''Grim Reaper''.

Despite the abuse surrounding her weight after a stint on Celebrity MasterChef she was inspired to release a cook book 'Can You Make That Gluten-Free?' for those on a restrictive diet like herself.
