Shannon Singh opens up on Cosmetic Surgery Offers

Shannon Singh has admitted that she has had offers to have cosmetic surgery.

But despite the offers, she said she won’t give in to other people’s beauty standards.

The Love Island star has said that since the show, she has received positive comments, but some people have made comments about her appearance.

Shannon explained that people have suggested that she’s “had work done” and, in light of her having a small chip on one of her teeth that people have commented on, she’s been inundated with offers to fix them.

She said: “There are many people who are like, ‘you’ve had work done’ – no I’ve not. Ever. And if I did, I’d be honest about it.

“I always joke to people who say this that if I was to get anything, I wouldn’t be putting filler into my face, I’d be fixing my teeth.

“I’ve got a really big chip on my front bottom tooth, and it’s really irritating me, but I feel like I’m making a stance by not getting it fixed. It’s a part of me.”

The 23-year-old went on to say that she has had offers to fix her tooth for free, but she is adamant to leave it as it is.

Her boyfriend, DJ Ben Sterling, also encouraged her to stay the way she is.

Shannon told OK!: “Ben has said to me, ‘please leave it as it is, it’s part of you. You really don’t need them done’.”

Since leaving Love Island, Shannon has started her own body positivity campaign called #Ilovemine.

She elaborated: “I did the campaign to push out a positive message and to encourage people to post stuff they wouldn’t usually post.

“I want people to be like, ‘this is my body, and no one is going to make me feel shameful for anything I’ve ever done. I’m proud of who I am’.

“The campaign was to try to get people on Instagram to stop being so perfect.”

On whether she edits any of her photos, Shannon Singh admitted that she used to do it, but now she also edits the lighting in pictures.

“You’ll never catch me altering myself. I just don’t think it’s normal and healthy.”

“I used to do it. I remember I used to make my nose look smaller, and I used to do other things. I think it’s really toxic.

“But as soon as I went on TV I thought what’s the point in me altering it because everyone knows what I look like.

“That’s what (the campaign) sort of stemmed from.

“I thought that all these young girls need to know that it’s not normal to be constantly dressed up, and it’s not normal to have an expensive new handbag every five minutes. That is not a normal lifestyle.”
