A Playboy star who spent £80,000 has reversed all of her enhancements – for just £500. Lucy Kemp, 40, started undergoing cosmetic treatments and 'tweakments' at the age of 18, when she had a breast enlargement - going from an A to a B cup. Following her first breast enhancement, she was scouted by a photographer and started posing for a string of lads mags. Over her 16 year career, Lucy spent around around £80,000 on treatments such as cheek and lip filler, tattooed eyebrows and veneers. But after turning her back on the industry just five years ago, Lucy spent a mere £500 to completely reverse her look for a more natural appearance, thanks to the help of her GP sister.

The former model praised her idols including Pamela Anderson and Elizabeth Hurley, admitting she wanted to "age gracefully" like the Hollywood icons. "I'm totally done with all the trends - I never want to put filler in my body again," the horse trainer from Bedford said. She went on to add: "I'm older now - I've got lumps and bumps, and I don't care. I don't want to look like anybody else out there - I want to look like myself.

At 18, after losing weight, Lucy decided to get a breast enlargement which cost her £4,000 on finance, increasing her cup size from an A to a B. However, her implants flipped, appearing "flat" on the front, and she claims her surgeon encouraged her to continue getting enlargements. She eventually ended up having 400cc implants - taking her from an A to a D cup. "By the time I went to Playboy, they were massive," Lucy said. "Everyone would look at me and be like: 'Oh my god, this woman thinks she's Jordan.' But the fact is, I was approached by photographers afterwards.".

In 2004, Lucy was approached by a photographer at a car show, taking place at NEC Birmingham, West Midlands. She was asked to pose with men at the show who wanted to take pictures with her and the cars. The former model quickly made industry contacts, and began doing photoshoots for "lads' mags" like Nuts and Zoo - which earned her a job as a Playboy model. "I was taking home £4,000 a week, doing nothing," she said. "It was so easy." But Lucy was immediately struck by how much makeup the other models were expected to wear - and felt like "a total d**k" wearing it herself. She says she felt the need to undergo "tweakments" in order to keep up with the younger models. But when entering her late 20s, she had already started getting Botox in her cupid's bow and forehead.

Lucy commented: "Glamour modelling warped my beauty standards - I'd look at myself in all that makeup and think: 'This isn't me.' All of a sudden, I wasn't 18 anymore - and I noticed frown lines on my forehead, and wrinkles around my upper lip from smoking. Botox was becoming more mainstream, even for people who weren't in the industry.". Throughout her modelling and later dominatrix career, Lucy has lost track of the number of beauty treatments she's had. She estimates she's spent £80k overall - including on then-experimental beauty treatments like 'vampire facials' - a procedure which uses your own blood to rejuvenate your skin - and thread-lifts, which involves pulling facial skin back with threads.

In 2020, she quit the industry for good, as well as the £250-per-hour she was making from being a dominatrix. "I couldn't be a model or a dominatrix during the pandemic, because we were all socially-distancing," she said, adding: "I was spending time at home and around the animals - enjoying just being me. "I wasn't on TV, or in the spotlight, I wasn't being looked at by the public - and I even started feeling dirty and greasy, wearing makeup." Over the next four years, Lucy has spent just £500 dissolving her fillers little-by-little.

Now, she feels "cleaner and fresher", and more often than not is wearing tracksuits and wellies on her farm, and feels totally herself. She said: "I'm not interested in butterfly lips, or Kardashian makeup. I realise now that these beauty standards are destroying young boys' and girls' mental health. Everyone looks the same - and I don't want that for myself.". After Geordie Shore icon Chloe Ferry revealed she was planning to "correct" her previous cosmetic surgery on January 27, Lucy said it was a "breath of fresh air.".

She added: "[Chloe's statement] gives me a really good feeling that we can go back to born beauty and start to take a fresh, new, healthy look at ourselves without all the surgery and fillers. Seeing such a positive face, body and mind image being portrayed by such a powerful influencer is a breath of fresh air. She's rewinding to the realistic.". Like this story?
