Speaking on Ireland AM, Alan revealed they had gotten a realm of procedures, admitting that they 'continued and continued to just enhance my appearance every time I walked into a clinic.'
They said: 'Back then I was just not understanding what I wanted to look like. I was just trying to change different looks. I was trying to enhance myself and I think I didn't know where I wanted to be and who I wanted to look like.'
Alan noted that growing up as a ginger and a 'little bit more chubbier' led him to going down the route of getting fillers which became an 'addiction.' View this post on Instagram

'It just went on from there and then I think I didn't realise when enough was enough.'
Despite their mum and friends begging them to 'lay off the filler,' Alan confessed that they never thought they had gone too far.
'Looking back at it, I was very kind of swollen looking,' they told presenters Alan Hughes and Muireann O'Connell. Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres on E! on Wednesday at 10pm and will see Alan alongside eight other well-know stars as they decide whether they want to reverse their cosmetic procedures.
