Imogen Thomas has revealed she is set to undergo a breast reduction on Wednesday after jetting off to Istanbul, Turkey for the procedure.
The former Big Brother star, 42, and ex glamour model said she’d decided to under the knife in a bid to regain her ‘body confidence’ after weight loss left her boobs looking ‘really big’.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, leggy Imogen, who previously had breast augmentation, increasing her cup size from a 34C to a 34E looked stunning in skimpy denim shorts as she explored the sun-soaked city before her operation.
The mother-of-two captioned the snap: ‘Love Istanbul. Got a yacht today and had a great tour guide. Love the history.
‘Now I can’t wait for my surgery tomorrow morning. I’m so confident in my surgeon. It’s going to be a great day, goodnight x’.
Previously revealing her plans to go under the knife she told followers: ‘Hi everyone, so I just wanted to pop on and tell you a bit of news in my life. I am going to Istanbul on Monday for breast augmentation’.

She went on to say that she would also be undergoing an uplift and could not wait to feel ‘body confident again’ in her clothes
‘I cannot wait, my boobs right now are really big for me. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight and I just can’t have this anymore. So I found the best surgeon in Istanbul’.
She went on to say that she would also be undergoing an uplift and could not wait to feel ‘body confident again’ in her clothes.
Imogen previously spoke candidly about her struggle to maintain her slimmer figure, admitting she’s finding it difficult to balance her social and dating life with staying in shape.
She told Daily Mail in 2019: ‘It’s hard because I’ve been out drinking all week and then the next day you want to eat so much rubbish, but I’ve been trying to be good.
‘So, I’ll force myself to get up the next morning and go for a run. I’m really really strict. So, I will always try and maintain my weight and shape now.’
This is not the first time Imogen has had a breast reduction with the procedure in 2107 leaving her ‘petrified and in tears.
She told New! Magazine at the time: ‘I started crying. Going under [anaesthetic], you think the worst, like, ‘I’m being too selfish here for my kids. What if I don’t pull through?’ It can happen. I was more nervous about being put to sleep’
Last year Imogen confessed she cried herself to sleep worrying about her mother Janet following her motor neurone disease diagnosis.

She said that the illness had been a ‘huge game-changer’ and explained that she was now focusing on caring for her beloved parent.
The model previously shared via a heartbreaking Instagram post and has been updating her followers on the reality of caring for someone with MND ever since.
But, while she’s tried to remain positive, the Welsh beauty admitted that it has taken a toll on her and her family eight years after the death of her father.
But she added that her focus right now is on ‘making memories’ as a family.
Imogen and her sister have been caring for her mother for more than a year following her MND diagnosis but revealed that it has been difficult for her.
She said: ‘When you have someone so close to you diagnosed with MND it’s a massive game-changer.’
‘It’s a really awful inhumane disease and we know what’s to come which is painful every day.’
‘It’s heartbreaking and I feel robbed. I’ve already lost my Dad but then for her to be diagnosed with a terminal illness, that’s just it.’
‘It’s a big life change. I don’t want to sit here and moan about it. They’re your parents and you love them so you just get on with it but it has been a challenge.’ she said.
The model also admitted that she feels jealous sometimes watching able-bodied families but then immediately feels guilty.
She said: ‘There are days where I cry myself to sleep because I feel robbed. I see mothers and daughters going shopping and feel jealous but should I?’
‘I always feel so guilty for saying that. We do still go shopping, my mum comes in her chair but it’s not quite the same’

The brunette beauty is now focusing on making her mother comfortable and is trying to travel as much as possible.
Imogen said: ‘We don’t want to stop making memories and as time goes on you don’t know when it’ll stop and you won’t be able to make any more.’
But she explained that travelling with a disability is extremely difficult.
Imogen said that the family ‘always dread the plane’ and described one instance where staff left her and her mother Janet sat in the cabin for 45 minutes after all the other passengers had disembarked.
She said: ‘They just forgot about us. And it was difficult keeping her spirits high.’
‘Getting onto the plane is hard as well. Because my mum has lost feeling and control in her left side she needs a lot of help and if we’re last on then people are just staring, watching us sit down and my mum hates it – she’s in tears.’
‘And it doesn’t matter how hard I try and I call the airlines, it doesn’t make a difference.’
‘You don’t get treated like a person, you’re treated like a piece of cargo.’
The model also described hotels that advertised themselves as disabled friendly but when she arrived, she found the specialist equipment damaged or not even there.
The reality star said this added anxiety and worry to what was supposed to be a relaxing experience.
She described how on a recent holiday to Spain, her mother was unable to get into the pool because of a rusty seat and the pair weren’t given disabled-friendly sun loungers and the star was forced to pay extra so her mum could enjoy herself.
‘It’s just awful. My mother burst into tears and was having panic attacks.’
She added: ‘Don’t advertise yourself as disabled-friendly if you’re not. It kept me up at night worrying about her.’
Imogen also admitted that another worry is the cost of caring for her disabled mother.
The star revealed that she has already had to use her savings and raise funds through GoFundMe to pay for specialist equipment and treatment but conceded that she was lucky to have been able to access private healthcare.
