Bobby Norris Battles Body Dysmorphia and Filler Addiction

has revealed he is battling body dysmorphia, weeks after undergoing a at the age of 39.  

The  star revealed that his insecurities were exacerbated further by cruel trolls who poked fun at his changing appearance following years of abusing filler.

Bobby explained that the abuse finally forced him to undergo the extreme operation following his 'addiction' to injectables leaving his face irreparably damaged. 

He said: 'Faceless people were writing online that I looked like a hamster. I knew I had to go under the knife. I didn't want to look 19, I needed to correct my own own stupidity.' 

'I'd abused  in my cheeks and around my eyes, so badly and I'd stretched my skin so much it would never snap back. I had an addiction to filler and I think I might have body dysmorphia'.

His recent surgeries in Turkey involved lifting, tightening and repositioning muscles and skin on his face, neck and around his eyes to create a more youthful appearance. 

He told The Sun:'If you have subtle amounts of filler you can have it dissolved, but I'd crossed a point of no return, where I had gone so excessive with my cheeks my skin could never return to what it was'.

'I could have facials forever and slap on as much Oil of Olay as I liked it was never going to tighten up the damage I'd done to my face due to my addiction to filler. I was getting it injected religiously every 12 weeks.'

Bobby previously spoke about his decade of 'abusing' filler that he said had left his skin 'like a deflated balloon'.

Speaking on This Morning, he said : 'I'll be really honest, I've always documented everything, but I was really abusing fillers, and for a ten-year window. I was going every 12 weeks - some people don't go to the hairdressers that often.

'There was just nothing subtle about it and it's so important for people to realise, although fillers aren't permanent it's not a surgery, there's always a line you can cross.

'Skin is about elasticity and I'd stretched it, it's like filling up a balloon for ten years and then one day trying to pop the balloon, it's going to be stretched out and baggy.

'I was like a space hopper, so by the time I removed them all, there wasn't going to be a cream on a market that was going to get me there.

'I'd had health problems last year, but the doctor was quite honest - I was having so many tests done, there's more of my blood in fridges around Essex than Mounjaro.

'The lovely doctor said, "We've got a specialist here... You could be dead in twelve hours" and in your head you think, and this sounds really crazy to say, "Well, I can't die, I'm going to Sheesh tonight".

'At my age you don't expect to hear that, and I thought, we all have these age things in our heads and I thought, why am I waiting for my 40s to correct something [I want to do].

'I'm waiting for my 40s but tomorrow ain't guaranteed, and do what makes you feel better, and I was just always honest about it. I know I would get torn a new one on social media being in my 30s.'

'I just don't believe in lying to people who have followed me and watched me for 15 years because it's just not achievable through honey and oatmeal scrubs.

'We all know certain people who stand on a red carpet and go, "eight hours sleep, two litres of H20 and a honey and oatmeal scrub" and you think, "darling, don't lie to people".

'There's the influencer thing, they go up the David Lloyd, other gyms are available, and they will do three squats on the tripod and then they go on a five-day retreat and they come back trying to be a Kardashian.

'It's not fair to the people that follow them, like we had magazines when I was growing up, thankfully we didn't have social media, but I think you've just got to be really honest.'

Not shying away from the recovery process, Bobby admitted it had been in 'discomfort' for a period of time after the surgery and relief on 'pain relief'.

Asked by show host Ben if he worries about having 'regrets' over the surgery later down the line, Bobby hit back: 'I had no option where I'd stretched [the skin].

'When we went into lockdown [during coronavirus], ITV were playing a lot of old TOWIEs - and it's like looking through a photo album and it was a decade of my life, different nose, different teeth.

'Over the course of a few weeks, I could see what trolls had been saying for years, and you don't notice subtle things about yourself when you're changing them and it wasn't until I sat back in lockdown, then I started to get into my fitness.

'For me, I thought, I wanted to remove all my fillers but I had a crossed a line so, I can't really regret having the face lift because this is almost corrective of the abuse I had given myself.

'It's never I'm following a fashion with my things, I'm almost correcting my stupidity of abusing fillers and, I think it's really important for people to know. Do whatever makes you happy if it's for you, but with fillers, you can cross a line.'

Asked by Cat whether he felt he'd now 'done enough' when it comes to surgery, Bobby refused to rule out going under the knife again.

He added: 'I know the right answer to sit here and say, and I'm not going to lie to you, it's impossible for me to say and I know the reality is, I probably will.

'I can't lie and say I wouldn't have any more. I don't know, I think body dysmorphia is kind of a thing... it's never something that I just rush into.'
