We’re all familiar with Kellie Maloney after she appeared on the last series of Celebrity Big Brother, but wait, what’s this? There’s a brand new Kellie knocking about.
The former boxing promoter, 61, has spent more than £3,000 on cosmetic treatments ahead of her full transformation from man to woman.
Kellie, who was previously named Frank, had a £760 Power Brow treatment, a £1,000 Eye Intensifier on both the top and bottom lids and a £1,270 Kiss Proof Lip treatment by leading Harley Street beauty guru Debra Robson.
The reality star shocked the world of boxing when she came out as a transsexual earlier this year but says doing so saved her life.
She said: “If I hadn’t come out as a woman, I wouldn’t be laying here on a beauty clinic treatment bed, I would be laying on a slab in an undertakers.
“That was the choice I had, it was either let it beat me and have the depression kill me or come out and embrace the world.
“On my way to the clinic today, some girls stopped me and said they really admired what I was doing and how brave I was.
“But I don’t put it down to bravery, I put it down to being a necessity of what I had to do.”
Kellie decided to splash out on her semi-permanent treatments as she’s not perfected doing her own make-up yet.
She said: “I find it really hard to do eyeliner, I smudge it every time, and this will help me so that when I get up out of bed in the morning I don’t have to spend so much time doing my make-up, and I’ve always wanted my eyebrows to have a more feminine arch and look more natural.
“When I was Frank I tried to keep my eyebrows quite fine, and I always wanted to have arches. I was quite vain as Frank but now I’m even vainer as Kellie.”
But Kellie is lucky enough to have her supportive mum to help her with tips on how to look good.
She added: “My mother tells me not to wear heavy make-up every day, she tells me I must let my skin breathe.
“My mother hardly wears much make-up – a little bit of lipstick and a bit of powder, and she’d just wear a bit of Nivea cream and she still uses it today.
“She’s 81 and she’s got beautiful skin. She looks like she’s in her 60s. We are very close now and she’s very protective of me and she sits and shows me pictures of her when she was younger and she’s stunning.”
Loving the new look, Kellie!
