Olivia Attwood meets 29-year-old woman whose bum implants 'fell out' while doing a squat at the gym, forcing her to spend £63,000 on corrective procedures
Chelsea Robinson Harrison, 29, from London, who has spent between £103,000 and £105,000 in total on plastic surgery, settled on a trip to the Dominican Republic in 2019 to increase the appearance of her backside.
The self-described businesswoman, model, and mother said she decided to have the surgery abroad because she had heard that doctors in the Caribbean country are particularly skilled in the procedure.
However, after going under the knife and returning home, Chelsea found quite the opposite when a gym workout caused her bum implants to 'come out'.
Talking in ITV 's Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, Chelsea said, 'Six years ago, I went to the Dominican Republic because I heard that they were the best at doing bum implants.
'But then, when I got back from there, I went to the gym. I was squatting in the gym, and I felt something. My leg went all tingly, and I felt something come out. My implant was hanging.
Chelsea explained that her implant had come out from under her muscle, adding that the experience was 'horrendous'.
She added, 'If I knew all the ins and outs, I would have never got the bum implants because that was the worst, absolute worst journey I've ever been through, and it wasn't worth it.'
Chelsea spent £63,000 on corrective procedures to fix the issue caused in the Dominican Republic.
While the procedure might have put Chelsea off of bum implant surgery, she's by no means been deterred from undergoing other procedures.
In the latest episode of her docuseries, Olivia Attwood joined Chelsea as she underwent her fourth boob job for just shy of £8,000.
Recalling her journey into plastic surgery, Chelsea said, 'I was quite eager, and as soon as I turned 18, I was booked straight away to get my boobs done.'
When looking at old photographs of herself before receiving breast implants, Chelsea said, 'I look so ugly there. There's just no definition anywhere, there's no boobs, there's no bum.'
Chelsea's career as a glamour model led her to compare herself to others in the industry, which made her feel her chest wasn't as big enough to compete with her colleagues.
'I kind of fell into lingerie modelling, but I felt like I wasn't competing with the other glamour models that I was seeing. I had no boobs, I had like an A-cup, so I wanted to look like everyone else.'
She soon went on to have two additional breast implants before her most recent one, in a bid to get a 'fuller' and 'bigger' result.
Chelsea said, 'All in all, I've definitely spent over £100,000, probably between £103,000 to £105,000, it's been eleven years, and a pricey eleven years.'
Her latest procedure, costing near £8,000, saw her receive two breast implants weighing almost 1kg each.
'It's a lot if you think about carrying two of those around,' Olivia said while Chelsea went under the knife.
The implants are the largest available at the London-based clinic that Chelsea visited, and the doctor added that people with the implant size can use a walking stick to help bear the weight.
Chelsea concluded, 'There's always something else you need, you want, or something that could make you look better. It's almost like adrenaline, and I feel like that's what you're chasing as well.'
Elsewhere in the episode, Olivia gasped in shock as a woman who spent £250,000 on plastic surgery revealed what she looked like before her extreme human Barbie transformation.
The woman, called Olivia, now has large lips and breasts - a striking look alongside her incredibly long platinum blonde hair and Barbie pink outfit with long nails and large hoop earrings.
Olivia looked through a scrapbook of old photos of Alicia, who pointed out some snaps of her taken when she was around 18 years old, in 2016.
Alicia's look from nearly ten years ago, before all the procedures, is completely unrecognisable compared to how she looks now.
Though her hair was still the same bright blonde shade, she was seen in the pictures wearing much more lowkey clothes than her habitual all-pink look now.
Alicia laughed nervously while Olivia gasps, 'Oh. My. God.'
The host asked: 'Do you think this girl had any idea how your life would be and how you'd look?'
Alicia replies: 'No! To people who really knew me back then, knew what I was like, it wouldn't be a big shock because I've always sort of been quite outgoing and confident and sexual and stuff like that. I just needed to find my niche, you know?'
As Olivia flicked through more pages of the scrapbook, Alicia pointed out more images at various stages of her transformation.
Some of the procedures Alicia has undergone include breast implants, lip filler and a rhinoplasty.
Olivia asked if Alicia has ever gone without other things in her life, so as to be able to spend more money on surgery.
'There's never been anything I didn't do just because I had my plastic surgery', she replies.
'I choose my health and my looks over everything so I spend a lot of money on the stuff I put into my body such as food and that kind of thing.'
She added, 'And I spend a lot of money on getting the right kind of filler, the best products.'
The presenter asked if she thinks she will ever wake up and want to look how she used to - and Alicia was certain about her answer: 'No, this is so much fun! I just have such a fun life and I would never want it to change.'
Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection is available to stream on ITVX.

‘I was struck by the grammar of it, the angular nature': Elizabeth Day's best phone picture
Elizabeth Day felt as if she hadn't seen the sun for decades. It was a gloomy December morning and the podcaster and author was headed towards a London recording studio. On the way, she passed a row of houses that were being renovated. The windows on one particular house had just been replaced and covered with a translucent blue sheet and haphazard orange tape; the scene caught her eye, so she paused to capture it with her iPhone 15 Pro. 'I'm known among my loved ones as someone who takes photos of random things, but I just found this so arresting,' Day says. 'I was struck by the grammar of it, the angular nature. The tape reminded me of art's golden ratio, the geometry like a Mondrian crossed with a Rothko. I was exhausted that morning and it completely brightened my mood.'

'I love the fact that anyone can enter,' Day says. 'It proves that anyone can be an artist, and that art is for everyone.' She's now in touch with an interested buyer. 'The RA will keep 35%, but I'll donate the remainder to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund.' Day passed by the house again recently to find the renovation complete. The window looked like any other, but, she says, 'The transient nature makes it more special, I think. I just hope people will have a conversation with the image. Maybe it makes you reflect on your own life, or the life of the person on the other side of the window. Who were they? Who will they be?'

Barbarella, London E14: ‘A large scoop of Lady Gaga does House of Gucci' – restaurant review
The Big Mamma group's gargantuan, flamboyant, frothily decorated pleasure palaces, which have grown rapidly across London – from Gloria in Shoreditch to Circolo Popolare in Fitzrovia and from Avo Mario in Covent Garden to Jacuzzi in Marylebone, among others – not to mention across Europe in general, tend to cause earnest food sorts to sigh wearily. If the lofty scofferati could have found a way to scupper Big Mamma's growth, they probably would have, because these restaurants are unashamedly focused on big, sexy, silly and Italian-inspired fun. The dining rooms are styled with the chaotic yet elegant detail of a big-budget movie set; no two are remotely the same, but each branch is connected by dependably over-the-top Italian serving staff, usually male and every one of them determined to be your best friend all the way from the antipasti to the dolci, even if your stiff British mentality fights their displays of chumminess. The latest Big Mamma opening, Barbarella in Canary Wharf, east London, is no different, and features all of those elements with which we've become so familiar: the tall, wobbly lemon meringue pie, the camp banquettes, the huge flappy menu with 100-plus items all written in Italian and in a teensy-tiny red font. At Barbarella, there are also oversized sculptures, vintage Fiorucci in glass display cases and, vibe-wise, a large scoop of Gaga does House of Gucci. Why are clever food people so sniffy about Big Mamma, despite its restaurants being full to the brim every night? Well, there are two reasons: first, Barbarella and her sisters are determinedly fun; almost forced fun, if we're completely honest. Just try telling your server that you're not here to have a laugh, but instead have come for a sparse, sensible, calorie-counting meal, so there's no need for a double martini or to be spooned tiramisu from a huge bowl by a winking man from Sicily called Gianluca. They just won't understand you. The second, and possibly more logical reason for the raised eyebrows is because – let's cut to the chase – the food in all of these restaurants isn't always terribly good and is sometimes actively awful. Not that you'll ever cajole any of the staff into admitting that: 'This tiramisu is my favourite tiramisu in the world, even better than my own nonna's,' is just one line directed at me at Barbarella. The staff simply cannot break character, so all the pasta is, according to them at least, 'freshly made this hour' and 'better than they serve in the village I come from in Italy'. Every T-bone steak is the juiciest and every brunello on the extensive wine-list is the most thoughtfully sourced. You've more chance of seeing Mickey Mouse at the front of a Disney parade with his headpiece off and smoking a Marlboro than hear a Barbarella server admit that this food is just OK – and hugely overpriced, too. Not that you'd really want that, either. Barbarella, like all of these places, is about escapism, boisterous group dining and being swept up in the moment, with someone else – a lover, a boss, a father-in-law – hopefully picking up the hefty bill afterwards. Lunching here stone-cold sober is a real eye-opener. I've only ever been to a Big Mamma restaurant while a bit tipsy, but here I'm being served a £24 plate of 'millefoglie di patate con tartare di manzo e tartufo', or a sort of cold fried potato rösti with a spoon of unseasoned beef tartare that's not remotely delicious. A courgette and cheese insalata limps on to my table hoping for love, but it's another hopeless state of affairs. This is not good courgette, these are not pleasant croutons. Next up, lobster linguine for £36 in a thick, one-note bisque sauce and with half a lobster on top – fine, but nothing earth-shattering. A £38 fillet steak with green peppercorn sauce is by some distance the most delicious thing we eat, and comes with a side of actually great rosemary potatoes. Then again, it's also probably the least Italian thing on the menu. But the tiramisu is, as ever, rich, thick, cocoa-covered and comes with that timeworn trick of offering a second scoop to denote largesse. Upstairs is the place to sit, it being the room with all the movie-star glamour; downstairs is, dare I say, a little less exciting. But, from my seat by the till (not somewhere I wanted to linger) and having to move plates about to make them fit on a tiny table that's about as big as one of the pizzas, there's just something about Barbarella that left me a little cold. Perhaps glamour isn't supposed to be practical. The wild Italian party continues in Canary Wharf regardless, but I don't think I'll be running back for a scoop of gelato any time soon. Barbarella Unit 3, YY London, 30 South Colonnade, London E14 (no phone). Open all week, noon-midnight. From about £40 a head à la carte, plus drinks and service. The next episode of Grace's Comfort Eating podcast is out on Tuesday 15 July – listen to it here.

Emmerdale fans convinced soap has confirmed another death after grave clue
Emmerdale viewers believe there's another shocking death on the cards for the Dingles, after spotting something about a recent graveside scenes after Nate Robinson's funeral Fans of Emmerdale fear an autumn or winter death has been confirmed by a worrying scene on the ITV soap. Just last week we saw Cain Dingle's flashforward scenes from December appear to finally play out. But some inconsistencies within the past and present day scenes left fans convinced a twist was on the cards. In fact, some viewers now believe Cain's flashforward, initially shown in the New Year episodes, has yet to air after all. It was assumed the scene would be the funeral of his tragic son Nate Robinson, who was killed off in a major twist. At the time of the flashforward, filmed last winter, we did not know Nate was dead so fans were left guessing whose funeral it was. Nate's body was found a few months ago and his funeral took place last Thursday on the ITV soap. In the episode we saw Cain at his son's grave, mourning the loss of Nate with Tracy Robinson soon joining Cain. This appeared to be the flashforward finally playing out, looking very similiar. The only thing is there were some differences including Cain's facial expression, the fact he was wearing a big coat in the first clip and not in the latest one, and even the position of the graves and the flowers there were different. Tracy also didn't feature in the first scene. Emmerdale 'lets slip' how killer John gets found out - and it'll happen very soon Now this can all be put down to continuity errors or even the fact that the scenes were filmed in different seasons, and things were being kept secret. The flashforwards would have been filmed around November time, when it was autumn/winter and very cold. This would explain the coat, and the darker sky and the frost on the trees. We didn't know Nate was dead then too, so they would never have included things like the "daddy" flowers. The whole scene wouldn't match identically surely too, as the former scene was filmed specifically for the flashforward countdown before the actual scene aired last week. But some fans are convinced that the differences between the scenes prove there's another death and a funeral on the cards. Wondering if another scene will see Cain mourn later this year, they think there will be another scene of him in a coat mourning someone that isn't Nate. Fans are now speculating Cain's granddaughter Sarah Sugden could sadly pass away amid her recent health battle, while another prediction is the death of Charity Dingle, the mother of Cain's daughter Debbie. Taking to X, one fan said: "I think it's Sarah's," as another said: "I still think Sarah and I think it will be around Christmas time." A third fan posted: "Not Nate's grave, I think it will be Sarah's." A further post read: "I'm becoming more and more convinced it's Charity or Sarah's grave." One fan said: "The grave we saw Cain crying over wasn't Nate's. I wonder who it is I'm dying to know now. Unless he goes back to the grave and cries on his own then." It was the coat that sparked the most concern, with one writing: "He's got a coat on in the flash forward... gonna be a autumn/winter episode." Another agreed: "In the flash forward Cain had a thick coat on when he was stood at the grave like it was cold weather he didn't have a thick coat on at Nate's." The comments kept on coming with a tweet reading: "The two scenes are different seasons so have a feeling it be towards Christmas that we see this as there frost on the flash forward scene. The one we just saw is in summer." Other fans were sure it was Nate's though, putting the differences down to continuity or the time of year of filming.
