plastic surgery – and a quarter of those who go under the knife do so to look better in selfies.In 2019, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons revealed that breast enlargement was the most common procedure carried out on women while breast reductions, liposuction, tummy ticks and eyelid surgery were also common.For men, nose jobs, ear surgery, breast reductions and liposuctions were the most common.The rise of the curvy Instagram figure has also lead to an increase in often deadly surgeries like the Brazilian Butt Lift.While all new surgery trends such as threads, lip flips, fox or cat eye surgery and mini face lifts have stormed the country as people seek the perfect, celebrity look.One person who decided to go under the knife over the last few years was Stacey Marie Clarke, 32, a photographer, from Wales.She admitted to spending more than £30,000 on a BBL, popular cat eye surgery – which makes the eyes look more almond shaped and lifted – a face lift and a lip lift.The mum-of-two, from Swansea, explained that she had never been curvy and fell pregnant as a teenager.After a relationship breakdown she wanted to have a full makeover to feel more confident.She told Fabulous: “Growing up, I was flat-chested, had no curves and no cheekbones.“I fell pregnant at 15 and by 18 was mum to two boys now aged 15 and 16.“When my relationship with my long-term partner broke down in 2019 I wanted a drastic makeover to start afresh.” But, plastic surgery in Britain is extremely expensive with Linia Cosmetic Surgery estimating that a BBL alone would have set Stacey back “between £6,250 and £7,000 or sometimes more.” So, the photographer did what many young Brits do for surgery and flew to Turkey.The country has become a

sexpert has revealed how 'horny' travellers can join the mile high club without getting caught.Tracey Cox offered her top tips for couples who want to get it on in the sky - including a handy phone hack.Writing for Femail, advised that couples choose a red-eye overnight flight for the best opportunities.She wrote: "The cabin lights are dimmed, there are pillows and blankets and most passengers are asleep."If you’re in business or first with a flat bed, joining the club is a cinch."It’s simply a matter of spooning, penetrating and timing the thrusts for when the crew aren’t walking through."If you're in economy class, Tracey said there is still an opportunity to get away with some "serious heavy petting" in your seats "if your clothing allows".She recommends hiding under the blankets and a handy phone hack of pretending to be watching a film on your phones rather than kissing while doing it.Tracey said your hands can then "get up to all sorts".If you want to go down the traditional route and do it in the loo, then Tracey doesn't recommend doing itwhen the seat belt sign is on.Instead, she advises to be discreet and quiet and then "most flight crew will turn a blind eye".She claims people are only usually told off when they are "drunk, loud and obvious".Describing what to do, she says: "One person goes to the loo, the other surveys the scene and if no-one is looking, does a secret knock (worked out beforehand) and discreetly disappears inside."Once inside, don’t waste time. The longer you’re in there, the most likely you are to be rumbled."Push clothing aside rather than remove it.

I am determined that my mistakes will not define me,” the email continued, before referencing the ongoing court trial which he credited as the reason for his first resignation in January.
