And reality star Sophie, 33, came close to being a tragic statistic when she and co-star pal Chloe Ferry went for the procedure in Turkey.
Speaking to Chloe Burrows on the Chloe vs The World podcast, she explained: "It was so bad from the minute we got there. I remember they gave us a tablet, I was like I feel off it. I feel really f***ed. It was scary.
"Get on the bed and then I just remember counting down and that that was that."
Sophie recalled coming to in recovery and seeing a zombified Chloe Ferry staggering around making moaning noises while attached to a drip.

She continued: "It was about four weeks later I started feeling really unwell. I was getting dizzy and faint. I was like 'I don't really feel right' and started getting this really funny pain down my leg and I was like 'what is going on here?'
"Basically what had happened was I was like growing an abscess in my bum cheek. This abscess in my bum cheek was growing and growing, if that burst and got into my bloodstream, I would have been dead. That's how bad it was.
"I went straight into surgery and they said the cut a litre of puss from my butt cheek."
The graphic detail made Chloe recoil, and she said: "That's making me feel ill."
