Actress, Leslie Ash has revealed that she wanted to hide away after suffering an allergic reaction to lip implants she has in 2003.

Ash told The Mirror: “The media had a field day and I became a figure of fun. Ashamed of the way I looked, I wanted to hide away but that was impossible because I was still filming the BBC TV drama Mersey Beat.

“I can remember feeling wretched and helpless, standing in the middle of a field on location in Liverpool shouting up to the sky: ‘No!’”

Leslie added that she had used the same surgeon for a similar procedure in 2001 with no problems.

She said: “I expected her to use the same filler again and thought it was odd when she used many more injections than before. But I trusted her and it didn’t occur to me to question what she was doing. That was a mistake I will always regret.”
