    The blonde beauty revealed she suffered an allergic reaction to the cosmetic injections

    In an interview with Fabulous magazine, the blonde beauty revealed she indulged in the lip filling treatment ahead of her 30th birthday, but had a bad reaction to the injections.

    And for now she’s said she’ll be staying away from any more surgical enhancements.

    ‘I was silly, it was a very silly thing to do,’ she added, speaking of the treatment, which caused her lips to swell after she suffered an allergic reaction. ‘Thankfully they have gone back down now.’
