Love Island’s Jess Harding unrecognisable before lip fillers as she poses with a pal on her birthday
LOVE Island’s Jess Harding looks adorable in throwback snaps from before she found fame in the telly villa.
The beautician is unrecognisable before having lip fillers and botox as she poses with a pal.
Teenage Jess - who now works as an aesthetics practitioner - beamed for the photograph at 17 before having work done.
Islanders are known for their love of cosmetic surgery, and many past stars have entered the villa with a variety of tweakments.
And the beauty clinic owner Jess is no different - even revealing she injected her own Botox before entering the show.
Despite only being 22, Jess injected her forehead because she was so terrified of having "wrinkles" on the ITV2 show.

She's also been getting lip filler since she was 18 and progressed to her cheeks, because "it just gives a structure to the face".
Jess, from West London, said before the Love Island launch: "The other day I did do my own Botox because no one was available.
"It was horrible but I had to do it, you can’t have wrinkles on telly."
Jess was applauded when she entered the villa earlier this month due to her 'real' figure and natural curves.

Jess told of the cosmetic treatments she had done ahead of joining the ITV2 show.
She said: "Obviously, my job is aesthetics, I'm a practitioner so I have had a bit done…
"I've had a bit of Botox and filler but nothing too much.
"I had my hair, lashes and nails done too… just the standard prep for a girl."
