X Factor's Christopher Maloney shares new face after surgery sparked concern

Christopher Maloney has given fans an update on his recent eyelid surgery after the X Factor star concerned fans over his cosmetic procedure with bloody and graphic pictures.

The singer, 45, who rose to fame on the ITV talent competition back in 2012, has given fans an update on his facial transformation as he continues through the healing process.

Sharing his progress on Instagram, the singer's face looked less bloody and he smiled for the selfie with his face still swollen from the surgery. The star's eyes still featured stitches across the eyelids, but it was a healed improvement compared to the shocking surgery snaps he shared with fans previously.

In his latest snap, Chris seemed in much happier spirits compared to previous updates as he said: "Thank you for all your lovely messages. Feeling so much better today. You ROCK."

Sharing snaps of his bloody face fresh from surgery, fans of the star were left immediately concerned as he struggled to open his eyes.

The star has also opened up to fans as he told them he'd "gone too far" with this being his 20th cosmetic procedure.

Since shooting to fame on The X Factor back in 2012, Chris has suffered from several health issues and has been plagued by his body dysmorphia which he has previously opened up to fans over.

The star has battled the mental health condition to the point that in 2017 he flew to Poland with his friend and former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook for a rhinoplasty, eye lift and a hair transplant - all at once.

He was taken to hospital shortly after his procedures due to a blood clot in his leg.

Overall, Chris has previously admitted to forking out a whopping £60,000 on cosmetic surgery over the years.

He has undergone three hair transplants, two nose jobs, an eyelid lift and veneers in recent years and now finds that he cannot stop himself from altering his appearance.

During an appearance on This Morning back in 2015, Christopher revealed that he decided to go under the knife for the first time due to the excessive amount of trolling he received on social media over his appearance.

At the time, he admitted: "The X Factor was great, but as the series was going on, I was getting really bad trolls.

"I was called Mr Potato Head, that I was ugly, that I had a big nose, and it just affected me so much, and at the end of the final, I did have a breakdown.

"I feel so much better now. It has made me more confident and now I'm looking forward to the future."
