Over the course of the six episodes, the Loose Woman panellist met with various experts and patients to get a closing look at the world of cosmetic surgery.
But it was when Olivia met Alicia towards the end of the latest episode that people were left stunned.
Alicia's £250,000 left her looking completely unrecognisable, with large lips, breasts and long platinum blonde hair to complete the look.
The surgery fan even donned a pink outfit and accessories in a bid to look more like Barbie.
At one point in the episode, Olivia was taken aback by a scrapbook full of old pictures of Alicia.
Inside were pictures of Alicia taken when she was around 18-years-old, in 2016, but the girl looked nothing like the Alicia standing next to Olivia.
Despite having the same blonde hair, the surgery fan looked much more natural, sporting a casual outfit and nothing too attention grabbing.
Olivia gasped at the before pictures: "Oh. My. God."
Then, speaking about if she knew her look would change so drastically, Alicia confessed: "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."
In complete shock, Olivia continued to flip through the pictures, pinpointing different stages of Alicia's cosmetic journey, from breast implants, to a rhinoplasty.

But despite what some might assume, Alicia said her surgery has never stopped her from doing anything.
"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.
"And I spend a lot of money on getting the right kind of filler, the best products," she explained.
The surgery lover also revealed that she'd never want to go back to her old self, even as she gets older.
"I just have such a fun life and I would never want it to change," she said.

What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.

I pride myself on the no Que cards so thankyou for noticing'.

A stand-out moment in Maya's interviews was when Toni's ex Harrison Solomon, 22, rolled his eyes when she made a comment about his behaviour during the show. In her candid style, Maya pointed out: 'You did say that you learnt a lot being in here...' to which Toni said: 'That's for damn sure'. An intrigued Maya continued: 'What has been the biggest lesson for you do you reckon?' Toni replied: 'Don't put up with sh**ty men.' The camera then went to Harrison sitting with partner Lauren Wood, 26, at a table in the audience. The footballer rolled his eyes a number of times shortly after she made the dig at him.

My role is to deliver information and facts but, because I love it so much, I just want to be their best mate and be like, 'Are you sure you really like that guy?'' 'I'll be as involved as I can.'

Sky Sports launch new Premier League show with I'm A Celeb star signed up as presenter
One Show presenter Roman Kemp has been signed up by Sky Sports to present a new Premier League preview show on Friday evenings this season. SunSport has learned that Kemp will front a new show, Premier League Friday, to be broadcast on 5pm on Sky Sports News. 2 The first programme will air next Friday before the opening Premier League game of the season, Liverpool 's visit to Bournemouth, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Kemp is a big Arsenal fan and has played in the celebrity charity match Soccer Aid, but has not worked in football broadcasting before. The former Capital One DJ, son of Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp, will be joined on the Sky Sports News show by rotating panel of pundits and reporters to discuss the top talking points in football and preview the weekend's games. Sky's move to hire Kemp is their latest attempt to attract younger viewers to their programmes. The broadcaster have had a turbulent summer, with seven senior staff made redundant in June including presenters Melissa Reddy and Rob Wotton. Wotton said a tearful goodbye after 30 years at the end of May as he was applauded by the studio team. And Reddy blasted the abuse she had received on social media during her five years in the job. The other presenters to be let go were Teddy Draper and Jasper Taylor, along with senior reporters Jeremy Langdon and Melissa Reddy and Fadumo Olow. Sky Sports News are also launching a new weekday magazine programme next week, The Premier League Show, which will air on Monday to Thursday from 5pm to 7pm. Presenting duties will be shared and rotated between Julian Warren and Emma Paton, with each episode also featuring a reporter and pundit to discuss the day's biggest Premier League stories. Emma Paton is Sky Sports' leading darts presenter while also regularly hosting Sky Sports News. Julian Warren, meanwhile took charge of hosting Soccer Saturday last week. But he was left less than impressed when the vidiprinter made three errors in one match.
