KIMBERLY Maberly endured a devastating side effect to fat jabs so she could walk down the aisle with a smaller waistline.
The 42-year-old comedian has dropped 4st since starting GLP-1 injections last October - but says the powerful slimming drug has left her thick blonde hair falling out in clumps.

Hair loss can't hide the happy bride-to-be

"If the hair loss had been a side effect from day one, I probably wouldn't have stuck with it," the bride-to-be from Stoke-on-Trent.
"It's now at a point where if I'm in the shower it literally falls out in clumps."
The comedy club owner tipped the scales at 17st and a dress size 22 at her heaviest when she decided to fork out £220 for a month's worth of the jabs from a pharmacy after a consultation with her GP.
Kimberly, now a size 16 and weighing 13st, was sick of dodging jokes about her "six chins" during her comedy roast battles and refused to be a "fat bride" for her wedding in July 2026.
The family of drugs known as GLP-1 RAs, originally developed to treat diabetes, are now often being used for weight loss as they were found to suppress appetite.
She said: "I looked and felt awful and I wanted to look good for my wedding, I don't want to be a fat bride."
"I did diet clubs and slimming shakes but the results were always mediocre. I was drawn to [weight loss jabs] as it seemed like a quick fix."
"I do roast battles at the comedy club and one of the things that people mentioned all the time was my weight.
"When all you're looking at is your six chins, instead of going 'oh I got a few laughs there' that becomes another reason for wanting to lose weight."
But the jabs came with a cruel price.
Kimberly has had to stop washing her hair regularly to prevent more fallout and now hides it under a cap when out and about.
Weight Loss Jabs - Pros vs Cons
She doesn't even let her fiancé, Andrew Fisher, see what is left of her locks.
"I know he doesn't care, but I do," she explained.
"She added: I was FaceTiming my sister who is a hairdresser and showing her and I just started crying.
"I was looking underneath and it was patchy. I daren't get anyone to check my full head because I don't want to know the full extent."
Trying to see the positives, Kimberly has embraced wigs - even making them a bit of fun.
She said: "[In May] I thought 'what if I try a wig?' That way I could carry on with the [weight-loss injections] and hide behind the wigs."

"I was really trying to make the most of my hair by wearing headbands, trying to part it differently so it didn't look so bad, but wigs have become part of my everyday as it got worse."
"It's a bit of fun and I can be different every day."
Despite what Kimberly thinks, Andrew has been loving the new looks too.
"He's been telling everyone he's getting a different girlfriend every day," she said.
"He likes the pink wig — he says that one is his favourite."
'You don't have to worry about bad hair days'
Despite the hair loss, Kimberly is determined to stay positive.
She added: "I decided I could either cry and moan about how little [hair] I've got or not, I'm just having fun with it and embracing it.
"The way I look at it is that my hair's going to grow back, but the weight isn't going to come back on.
"I'm still taking it now and if I could go back to October and decide not to take it, I wouldn't change a thing.
Now on her last prescription, Kimberly wants to give her hair a year to recover ahead of the wedding.
"I'm aiming to lose the last stone before the big day without using skinny jabs."
"I'm not at my target weight, but I wanted a whole year off the jabs to recover my hair for the wedding.
"Even if I want a hair piece or extensions for the wedding day, I need to have more growth before that's possible."
She said wearing wigs has given her the confidence she needed.
"But I see them [wigs] as a temporary measure to a problem that will go away."
She added: "I'd say to other women suffering from hair loss to see it as another accessory to add to your look, plus you don't have to worry about bad hair days."

Bonnie Blue dark secrets behind sex fame uncovered in new Channel 4 documentary
Bonnie has split from her husband and her closest friends seem to be Josh, who posts her videos, and a stylist. The dark secret behind Bonnie Blue's sex fame is reportedly uncovered in the new channel 4 documentary about her life. The pornstar hit headlines and stormed social media after her biggest event was in January, when she had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours, the inspiration for the title of a new Channel 4 documentary, 1,000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story. At a screening of the documentary, Bonnie insisted she was 'very happy' with her life. But her notoriety, and her boasts of sex with married men, who, she says, should not feel guilty about cheating on their wives, come at a price. In the film, Bonnie, a 26-year-old former NHS recruitment worker from Derbyshire, whose real name is Tia Billinger, says: 'The last time I went out by myself was probably about six months ago. Now it is not that safe. I get hundreds of death threats a day, so it is not that safe when I walk around. 'I say, 'It is going to happen at some point, someone will come and give me stick ' and fair play to her, at least they are getting up off their sofa. My worst one is acid, if someone did acid, and I could see some spiteful girl doing that.' Bonnie has split from her husband and her closest friends seem to be Josh, who posts her videos, and a stylist. She says: 'My sort of circles got smaller, but my team are also my best friends.' Director Victoria Silver followed Bonnie for six months, gathering footage of her having sex, and was at her January marathon for a couple of hours, reports the Mirror. At the documentary screening, Bonnie expressed surprise at the amount of explicit footage used. Asked if she was expecting complaints, Victoria said: 'If I was making a film about a musician or some kind of other performer their work would be in there. I think it is important to see what she does.' Bonnie is clearly proud of her work. Of her sex marathon, she says: 'I love the fact that I was able to experience that day with over 1,000 subscribers, fans, people that spent time out of the day to come meet me. 'But, yeah, I also need money to be able to take time out of my days to be able to do that, to hold these events. These events aren't cheap by the time you pay for staff, security, the venue.' But she says she has earned more than £1million in some months, and the documentary shows the increasingly extreme lengths she will go to for clicks and views. One scene shows Bonnie at home with mum Sarah, who speaks with pride about how her daughter was a great dancer as a child. She also seems proud of her career as a porn star. She says: 'Would it be something that I chose for her to do, no. I was really, really shocked, but now would I want her to do anything else? No, not at all. It's her choice.' Sarah and other relatives have given up their jobs to be on Bonnie's payroll. Sarah says: 'People I know always liked us both, but think it's OK to make nasty comments. 'Most of the time I just laugh. I'm like, 'If you could earn a million pounds in a month, your morals would soon change, and you'd get your bits out'. I don't care what people say.' Bonnie says: 'My family started to put up with hate, I get that, but I also get the life I live and the money. So it's like I also want them to receive some of the rewards.'

The documentary ends as Bonnie is about to head to Romania to meet influencer Andrew Tate, who is facing rape and human trafficking charges, which he denies, and is a self proclaimed misogynist. Bonnie says: 'He's probably just as controversial as I am. Whether people love him or hate him, he's a marketing genius.' Director Victoria asks her: 'You talk about female empowerment, but how do you square that with aligning yourself with the most misogynistic male on the internet?' Bonnie says: 'Piers Morgan interviews serial killers all the time. It's not messed up his brand. He [Tate] has been labelled multiple things by the media, and so have I. We're probably the two most misunderstood people out there at the moment.' Channel 4 defended the documentary, telling the Mirror: 'The explicit content is editorially justified and provides essential context.' * 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, Channel 4, Tuesday, 10pm.
