Charlotte Crosby has breast implants removed after terrifying health scare and will reveal all on her reality show
The former Geordie Shore star had the op after finding herself in excruciating pain when her boob went hard
CHARLOTTE Crosby has had her boob implants removed after suffering weeks of agonising pain in her breasts, The Sun Online can reveal.
The 28-year-old reality favourite had the op this week after returning from a trip to Brazil with boyfriend Josh Ritchie - with a big reveal being planned for her MTV reality series.
A source close to the star explained: "Charlotte has been in quite severe pain with her breasts, one in particular.
"She saw a specialist before Brazil and he diagnosed severe inflammation and capsular contracture - which is when the scar tissue around the implant inside the body gets tight and hard.
"This can cause chronic pain and hardness which was what Charlotte was experiencing. As a precaution she has also been referred for breast scans to ensure there is nothing else going on."
Charlotte originally had an op to correct her symmastia – the so-called ‘uniboob’ where breasts merge across the breastbone – in 2017.
However, she had implants put in at the same time as fixing the problem, which she was born with, and now wishes she hadn't.
The insider explained: "She bitterly regrets having implants at the same time. Those implants have been removed and Dr Hassan has tried to fix the symmastia for a second time."
Our insider added that the timing of the surgery will mean Charlotte spending a long stretch at home laid up at home recovering.
That caused her to have the procedure this week and cover it on The Charlotte Show when it airs later this year.
Josh has been by her side throughout the ordeal, supporting her through the surgery.
Charlotte has had surgical procedures before, including a nose job in 2016.
She and Josh combined their luxury holiday with promoting The Charlotte Show, the series where TV viewers will get to see the results of her procedures.
Charlotte shot to fame in 2011 when she signed up to reality series Geordie Shore, which she quit in 2016.
