'My boobs put me off having sex - they made me feel ashamed'

In surgery at a clinic in Turkey three days after her 29th birthday, Stephanie Davis clutched nervously at her boyfriend Joe McKalroy's hand.

The actress was going under the knife for the first time, for a boob job and liposuction, and was feeling anxious about the operation.

Since having her son Caben in 2017, Stephanie's A-size breasts had swollen to an E while breastfeeding and back to an A again, leaving her confidence shattered so much that intimacy had become a struggle.

Having opted for DDs and lipo on her arms and tummy, the three-hour operation at Clinic Center in Istanbul was a triumph, and unleashed a newfound confidence in Stephanie.

Revealing her transformation in new, Stephanie says, "I've gone from an A to a DD and was worried they weren't going to look how I wanted them to, but I love them! You can't really see any scarring. I keep staring at them in the mirror. I feel so womanly, I feel sexier. Before the operation, Joe said he was going to miss them. I said, 'No you won't! Not when I get the new ones.' And yes, he's very, very happy!"

Having surgery wasn't an easy decision for Steph, who has been contemplating the operation since her early twenties. She catapulted to fame as Sinead O'Connor in Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks, still "completely flat-chested". But too squeamish to even watch Casualty, she put off having the op for years until motherhood changed her body completely.
