Sinitta has revealed that she had previously had fillers injected into her face because she was underweight.
In an exclusive conversation with MailOnline, the singer, 59, claimed that her “gaunt” appearance made her opt for the cosmetic treatment from 2018, which she had done regularly for about four years.
Sinitta also explained that she had them dissolved last April because she “looked so crazy” with them in after she arrived.
The TV personality — who also admitted to getting Botox — confessed that getting the fillers removed was an uncomfortable process, but insisted she feels happier now.
Elsewhere in the chat, Sinitta revealed she’s asked Simon Cowell, 63, to set her up with an eligible bachelor, but she’s worried he’ll prank her by setting up a date with “an awful someone’.

Back to natural: Sinitta explained she had them resolved last April (pictured in May 2022, a month after her fillers resolved)
When asked what kind of work she’s done, Sinitta said, “I’ve got Botox, but I don’t have fillers – I’ve had all my fillers removed. I had them all decomposed last April.
‘I had lost a lot of weight before and the fillers looked great – I needed it because I was so thin. Once the weight came on I just looked so crazy so I got them all removed and I really feel better now.
‘It was really uncomfortable [having the fillers dissolved]. Look – there’s a picture of me before [with the fillers] and I look like a different person. Those are the cheeks – oh my God.
“At first I didn’t realize it, but suddenly when I look back at myself, I think: ‘What happened to my face?'”
“You have to be a skeleton with fillers, or you have to just be natural.” But I needed it because I had about three or four years where I was a little bit underweight, and so I would have fillers, but then I stopped taking the fillers.
“And I have a friend and she suggested an ultrasound and it was very uncomfortable.”
Sinitta – who recently appeared on Celebs Go Dating – revealed that she’s been getting men in her DMs since her time on the show.

The So Macho singer said, “I went for lunch with one person to a place owned by Gordon Ramsay and someone else. He was really cute.
“I didn’t even know the hidden messages [on Instagram] existed [until recently]so I followed up on a few.
it just goes out for lunch or dinner. Even if you don’t think someone is your type, you won’t know until you actually sit down and talk to them.’
Sinitta also admitted that she asked her boyfriend Simon Cowell to get her an eligible bachelorette.
However, she explained, “The problem is that most of his friends I’ve also known for years, so they’re almost like brothers to me.”
“But I told him, and he said to me, ‘Okay, okay.’

Speaking of Simon’s nine-year-old son Eric, Sinitta revealed that she can’t imagine him following his father into the world of showbiz.
She said, “I imagine he’s a marine biologist, because he likes being in the sea and swimming.”
When asked if she thinks Simon will ever have children again, Sinitta confessed, “I don’t know because there would be quite an age difference, but you never know. He loves being a father.’
