She tells us she took advice from author Fay Wheldon (“her surgery was eight years ago, and in Hollywood. ‘So much better, and you can sue,’ she trilled”) and describes the facelift operation itself as being “chopped”) but ex-MP and reality star Edwina Curry has finally lifted the lid on her dabble in cosmetic surgery.
The 65 year old had the operation in 1995 following the Conservative’s government’s crashing loss of power to Tony Blair. She descibes having it done to celebrate the downfall of her party leader and Prime Minister, John Major – with whom she had had an affair.
She descibes the procedure as “five hours on the operating table and £7,700 lighter. My chin’s tight (hooray), the eyes are surrounded by yellow bruises and my lower neck’s gone a pale purple.”
And, although she descibes some uncomfortable detail, she confesses that even immediately after the operation she knows she’s going to love the result: “Stitches everywhere, especially around my ears: I look like somebody tore them off in a fight. No pain, though my eyes are a bit pricky. Forehead (lasered) is horrible — shan’t have that done again. When the dressing comes off and it’s washed, it stings to screaming point.
“Main stitches out on Friday, then I’m nearly done. I think I’m going to like this result, too.”
