THE Only Way Is Essex star Junaid Ahmed has opened up about spending over £10,000 on surgery before the show.

The reality TV newcomer – who joined the cast of the ITV Be show this year – has been open about having a number of enhancements made to his face, including having his teeth done in Turkey.


Despite insisting he has no regrets, Junaid, 27, has now revealed that he favours a more "natural look" and has no plans for future surgery.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online at Whisky brand The Label Maker's launch, he explained he was "happy" with his current look.

"I've had my veneers done, and Botox and fillers in the past," the social media star explained. "I prefer the more natural look now.

"[I spent] about £10,000. I don’t think that’s much compared to what some people have done. A lot get much more done now."

Junaid revealed how he flew to Turkey to have his teeth done – a procedure he strongly encouraged others to "research" about before jumping in to have done.

"I went to Turkey about seven years ago to have my teeth done – it was the trend," Junaid went on.

"There’s so many horror stories now so you really have to double-check, always do your research, and I would never advocate for people to have stuff done unless they look into it properly."

Despite having surgery and cosmetic enhancements in the past, he concluded: "I’ve no regrets about mine. I absolutely love them.

Meanwhile Junaid has spoken about his secret flings with famous footballers – saying it’s sad they “can’t come out.”
