‘There's no shame in having a boob job at 61'

We’re used to seeing her light up our screens as the Wright clan’s glamorous matriarch. But Carol Wright admits that behind the scenes, her low body confidence had left her feeling like the “unsexiest woman on the beach”.

So the former TOWIE star had a breast uplift and reduction to help her get back to feeling like the old Carol – and she’s thrilled with the results.

“I got exactly what I wanted,” Carol tells new. “I feel so much more confident. I’m 61 and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Why not make yourself feel better?”

As for what her husband of 38 years, Mark Snr, thinks of her new assets, Carol says, “He’s a bit squeamish and I’ve still got some scars. I keep showing him them and saying, ‘Don’t you think they look good?’ and he says ‘Yeah’, then turns his head. He’s a bit too scared to look at the moment!”

Carol adds that sons Mark, 34, and Josh, 32, “don’t get involved with things like that” but her girls Jess, 36, and Natalya, 21, “fully understood why I was doing it”.

Meanwhile, Jess and Josh recently made Carol’s year when they told her they were expecting their first children with their respective partners, something she is “over the moon” about.

So here, as Carol welcomes new into her gorgeous Essex home, she talks about entering 2022 with new confidence, preparing to be a gran of two and the truth behind those Wright family reality show rumours...

Hi, Carol! You look amazing. How are you feeling since your op?
