Lottie Moss makes jaw-dropping confession after 'terrifying' Ozempic overdose
TV star and model Lottie Moss has opened up on her scary experience of having a seizure following an overdose of Ozempic as she admitted she's thought about taking it again
Model Lottie Moss has discussed her 'terrifying' experiences with medication Ozempic on a new ITV show. The young model has revealed she was hospitalised after taking the medication, which is used to treat diabetes.
Lottie, Kate Moss' younger half-sister, said: 'I'd lost like, six or seven kg, like, it was so dramatic. "Coming off really quickly, and you almost don't even notice it, because you're so sick and, like, tired all the time. That's why they, like, rushed me to the hospital. In the ER, I started to feel something really weird happen as soon as I got on the bed, I had the seizure, and they were holding me down. I was terrified.
"I do remember it, I started to feel, I honestly felt like I was dying. And it sounds really dramatic, but I've never had a seizure before. And I was just like this so isn't worth it? Like, what am I doing to my body? Like, why did I feel like I needed to do this.
"But I remember when I was just after I'd come out the hospital, I felt good because I was so slim, and I get how that feeling can be so addictive now.'
Despite all the pain and horror, Lottie says she has 'thought about' going back to the injections before remembering it 'didn't work out for a reason'. Other celebrities have used the jabs or similar ones including Sharon Osbourne and Gemma Collins. While some have used the medication for weight loss purposes, the drug isn't licensed for this. Instead, it is used to treat diabetes and side effects of the drug is weight loss.
On ITV show The Price Of Perfection, Olivia Attwood speaks to Lottie and also continues her search for how science and social media are redefining beauty as we all chase the perfect selfie.
Lottie decided to open up on her scary hospital experience last year as she wanted to warn people of the dangers. She said on her Dream On with Lottie Moss podcast that her face and hands clenching up was one of the 'scariest' things she has ever gone through.
Medical professionals told her that the dosage she was injecting into her leg would have been prescribed to someone who weighed at least 100 kilos despite the star being in 'her 50s' range. She said: "A few months ago, I was not feeling happy about my weight, I had a friend, and she could get it for me.
"It was below board, from a doctor, but it wasn't like you go into a doctor's office and he prescribes it for you, takes your blood pressure, and takes tests, which is what you need when you go on something like Ozempic. At the end of the day, it is a medication, it is dangerous and really meant for weight loss of people of a very large size.
"When I was taking it, the amount that I was taking was meant for people who are 100 kilos and over and I'm in the 50s range. It's these small things I wish I'd known before taking it. But I took it, you inject it into your leg, and it was the worst decision I ever made.
She added: "I would rather die any day than take it again. It made me feel so nauseous. I took it for two weeks. It comes with a pen and different doses, you take one injection one week, one injection the next week and you take it every week, and I've never felt sicker in my life. I was throwing up, it was horrible. I took a lower dosage the first time I took it then I went up higher. I ended up being in bed for two days, felt so sick, my weight had dropped."
The new series of Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection is available this Thursday on ITVX.

Council tax bills set to rise at fastest rate for two decades, economist warns
Paul Johnson said that local government in England did 'perhaps a little bit better than it might have expected' out of the Chancellor's statement on Wednesday, but the 'sting in the tail' is the assumption that 'council tax bills will rise by 5% a year' as part of the funding. The core spending power of councils is set to increase by 2.6% a year from next year, and 'if English councils do choose 5% increases – and most almost certainly will – council tax bills look set to rise at their fastest rate over any parliament since 2001-05', Mr Johnson said on Thursday. On Wednesday, Ms Reeves said that ministers will not be 'going above' the 5% annual increases in council tax. She told ITV: 'The previous government increased council tax by 5% a year, and we have stuck to that. We won't be going above that. 'That is the council tax policy that we inherited from the previous government, and that we will be continuing.' The biggest winner from Wednesday's statement was the NHS, which will see its budget rise by £29 billion per year in real terms. Ruth Curtice, the chief executive of the Resolution Foundation, has said that Britain is turning into a 'National Health State'. Overnight, the think tank said Ms Reeves' announcements had followed a recent trend that saw increases for the NHS come at the expense of other public services. Ms Curtice said: 'Health accounted for 90% of the extra public service spending, continuing a trend that is seeing the British state morph into a National Health State, with half of public service spending set to be on health by the end of the decade.' Defence was another of Wednesday's winners, Ms Curtice said, receiving a significant increase in capital spending while other departments saw an overall £3.6 billion real-terms cut in investment. The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) made similar arguments about 'substantial' investment in the NHS and defence coming at the expense of other departments, although Mr Johnson warned on Wednesday the money may not be enough. In his snap reaction to the review, Mr Johnson said: 'Aiming to get back to meeting the NHS 18-week target for hospital waiting times within this Parliament is enormously ambitious – an NHS funding settlement below the long-run average might not measure up. 'And on defence, it's entirely possible that an increase in the Nato spending target will mean that maintaining defence spending at 2.6% of GDP no longer cuts the mustard.' Ms Curtice added that low and middle-income families had also done well out of the spending review 'after two rounds of painful tax rises and welfare cuts', with the poorest fifth of families benefiting from an average of £1,700 in extra spending on schools, hospitals and the police. She warned that, without economic growth, another round of tax rises was likely to come in the autumn as the Chancellor seeks to balance the books. She said: 'The extra money in this spending review has already been accounted for in the last forecast. 'But a weaker economic outlook and the unfunded changes to winter fuel payments mean the Chancellor will likely need to look again at tax rises in the autumn.' Speaking after delivering her spending review, Ms Reeves insisted she would not have to raise taxes to cover her spending review. She told GB News: 'Every penny of this is funded through the tax increases and the changes to the fiscal rules that we set out last autumn.' Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch described rising health spending as a 'conundrum', with a similar approach having been taken 'again and again' as she spoke at a business conference in central London on Thursday morning. In reference to a pro-Brexit campaign stunt, Mrs Badenoch said: 'I mean, who remembers the side of a red bus that said 'we're going to give the NHS £350 million more a week'? 'Many people don't know that we did that. We did do that, and yet, still we're not seeing the returns. 'We've put more and more money in, and we're getting less and less out.' The Government have not explained how and why the NHS will be better as a result of its spending plans, the Tory leader added, and claimed the public know 'we need to start talking about productivity reforms, public sector reforms'.
