TOWIE star admits they were plunged into a 'dark, dark place' following botched surgery

Former TOWIE star Charlie King has opened up about his mental health struggles following a nose job that went horribly wrong, leaving him in a "dark, dark place".

Former TOWIE star Charlie King has spoken out about the struggles he has faced since having a botched cosmetic surgery, revealing that the pressure of fame led him to focus unhealthily on his appearance and left him in a “dark place”. He added: “I think you can get very caught up in your image, in this day and age, with what you think you need to be, and obviously the social media world that we live in, and my background with reality TV and having a bit of exposure and being in in the spotlight once upon a time, you do get very consumed with how you look.” He told MPs at the time: “During lockdown I became obsessed with my nose… I saw a plastic surgeon who agreed 'we could fix that' and he gave me validation."
