Skye Wheatley reveals how much she's spent on plastic surgery as she details most ‘horrific' one yet
Skye Wheatley has spoken candidly about all the surgeries she's had in the past, even revealing the whopping total amount she has spent so far. Speaking on her new Nova Podcast Skye & Callum with co-host Callum Hole, the 31-year-old estimates that she has probably spent close to half a million dollars in her quest for perfection. 'Honestly, I would say all up maybe $200,000,' she shared before factoring in cosmetic procedures such as skin treatments, Botox which she says costs $300 to $400 a pop, and fillers such as profhilo which can cost $500 a pop. 'But if we're going off my life, I'm going to say $500,000,' she added in the episode, released today. Wheatley also shared her surgery journey with co-host Hole, who rose to fame on Love Island Australia in 2022. He joked that if she had a book for all her surgeries, it 'would be like a bible'. The social media star recalled going under the knife for the first time to have breast augmentation surgery after her breakout stint on Big Brother in 2014 – a surgery that almost ended with her having 'three boobs'. 'I went to Thailand for that. I went through some CosMedi Tour thing. You know, the Australian companies that fly you over to Thailand because it's cheaper,' she said. 'So I had that done and that was a massive disaster. I ended up getting double bubble, so I had like a massive lump.' 'I literally had three boobs, actually. That's the best way to describe it.' Wheatley would go on to have breast revision surgery after having her two sons, as well as rhinoplasty, liposuction and blepharoplasty, a procedure that improves the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin and fat surrounding it. The reality star underwent another procedure in the last year: canthoplasty, which is commonly known as a fox eye lift. Wheatley said she had this done in Turkey after being recommended a surgeon by fellow users on Instagram. 'The reason I went to this Turkish doctor is that I had spoken to three girls in Australia who had had it done. And I'm like OK, he's gotta be good,' she said. 'Did my research and all of that and I was like. 'Yep, that's definitely going to be my surgeon.' I had full trust.' That's not to say she didn't find the experience 'nerve-racking', revealing she had never 'been so nervous to be put to sleep before'. And her fears were warranted because when she woke up from the procedure, she couldn't see and it was 'horrific' due to the language barrier, even with an interpreter. 'I was blind for three days. No one spoke any English,' she says of waking up in a Turkish hospital. 'So I couldn't see anything, my face was bandaged.' Wheatley is thankful she travelled there with a friend named Elle, who came running in the hospital when she needed help. 'I woke up from surgery fully blind – I couldn't see. The nurses would come in speaking their language and I'm trying to talk to them and we could not understand each other,' she recalled. 'I couldn't walk, couldn't move, fully blind and I was screaming help.' With the help of Elle and being dosed up on Morphine for three days, Wheatley was able to recover and travel back home to Australia, where she was spotted out and about in Brisbane with bandages still on her face last September. Although she says it takes at least 6 to 12 months to completely heel for her fox eye lift, the star is happy with the outcome so far. Wheatley says she's planning on yet more surgery, and plans to have her pingueculas cut off – a procedure where the small growth in the sides of your eyes is removed. 'I wish that I had a magical mirror that I could look into and be like, 'OK, longer hair, longer lashes, no freckles …' It's f***ed. I'm sorry I don't know why I'm like that,' she said of wanting to constantly change her look. 'I've always just had an interest in tweaking. I find it so fascinating.'

Cringe video of Indian cricket boss roasted by Aussie fans
Well that was weird. Cricket fans have been left scratching their heads at a 45-second clip released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) following South Africa's win over Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. South Africa defeated Australia by five wickets at Lord's last week to win the WTC mace as Aiden Markram's century in the second innings proving pivotal as the Proteas chased 282 to win. The ICC, world cricket's governing body, posted a 45-second clip on its official social media channels that has gone viral and elicited chuckles for a bizarre reason. In the slow-mo clip, which you can watch below, new ICC chairman Jay Shah is very much the star of the show, featuring in 11 of the 23 frames in the video. Shots of the Proteas celebrating on the Lord's balcony and lifting the trophy are interspersed with shots of Shah watching on in the stands and congratulating South Africa's players as they lifted the WTC mace. Shah, the 36-year-old son of Indian's Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah, became ICC president in December, taking over from New Zealand's Greg Barclay. India were defeated by New Zealand in the inaugural WTC final before losing to Australia in the 2023 final, so cricket fans were bemused by the Indian cricket boss getting far more screen time than the actual players in the harmless social clip. Leading cricket writer Gideon Haigh wrote for Cricket. et al: 'Sick bag at the ready? I may just have just seen the worst thing ever. Or maybe it was this. The cumulative message is hard to miss. 'You may have imagined that the World Test Championship final was a soul-stirring triumph for South Africa, a memento mori for Australia, a testament to the red ball cricket's timeless appeal, or whatever. 'But the ICC has news: it was all just a Trumpesque parade for ICC chairman Jay Shah, whose personal videographer was on hand to capture him receiving homage in Peckinpahesque slow motion.' Cricket broadcaster Paul Dennett chuckled: 'This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. He's everywhere in the video. The ICC has jumped the shark.' Adding to the intrigue was the fact the ICC deleted the original video, then reuploaded the clip simply to tag the correct Cricket Australia account. Cricket reporter Andrew Wu wrote on X: 'If you blink at the wrong time, you'll miss the only shot of Pat Cummins. Jay Shah on the other hand… 'Great to see the ICC got rid of the original post that featured Jay Shah in 11 of the 23 frames. Would've been crazy to let an administrator overshadow what happened on the field. Oh wait …' Shah will be keeping an eye on India's five Test series against India that kicks off at Headingley on Friday. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has asked the BCCI not to be considered for the captaincy for the series, with Shubman Gill likely to take over following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. 'I called the BCCI and said I don't want to be looked at in a leadership role because I won't be able to give all the Test matches in a five-Test match series.' Bumrah left the SCG Test against Australia in January with back spasms, cruelling India's hopes of levelling the series and retaining the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
