She’s gone “au naturel” during lockdown – ditching the hair extensions and heavy make-up. But Ferne McCann will always be a TOWIE girl at heart, and that means never shying away from a procedure or two. According to insiders, the recently single star has decided it’s time to sex up her image to find a new man – and that means boosting her bust.

THE GLOW UP - Maria Fowler now

We use the term 'now" very loosely with Maria, this picture is from early 2017 - that's because we can't find any recent pics as she is keeping it on the down low. We do know that is she is a makeup artist now, she's married to Kelvin Batey and they're expecting their second child later this year.

“Ferne’s been desperate to have a boob job for years,” says an insider close to the First Time Mum star, who recently posted seriously fit pictures after undergoing a 21-day body transformation challenge.

“She studies photos of herself in detail and compares herself to other celebrities. She wants a raunchy image, as she thinks that every man loves a woman with a Kim Kardashian-style hourglass figure. She reckons that, with some subtle changes, she can look sexier and less athletic.”

While the 29 year old – who has daughter Sunday, two – has been open about having a nose job in the past, she’s denied having any other surgery. But according to our source, her recent split from city trader Albie Gibbs, which she blamed on long-distance (he’s living in New York), has left her feeling insecure.

She’s now convinced that bigger boobs will bag her a new man – and she won’t be told otherwise. “Her friends and family are just hoping that she’ll forget about it after lockdown eases,” we’re told. “They’re telling her it’s a cheap fix and she’ll have to live with the results for the rest of her life.”

Listen to your mates, Ferne. They’ve got your breast interests at heart.
