Sam Bailey reveals she’s had Botox and has put on 21lbs after junk food binges
The X Factor champion has had the face filler treatment on her forehead and cheekbones
X FACTOR queen Sam Bailey has admitted having Botox because she was "scared" about how old she looked - and confessed the cosmetic procedure can be "addictive."
Her newfound passion for face fillers comes as she also revealed binge eating has seen her weight increase by one and a half stone.
This summer, the talent show winner admitted she was tempted to follow in pal Katie Price's footsteps and opt for the plumping treatment.
After having the injections Sam, 39, said: "Once you get to a certain age you start to become scared about how old you look.
"I've got massive lines on my forehead so I've had Baby Botox - tiny doses - there and above my cheekbones.
Speaking to the publication this summer, Sam said: “I think Katie looks fantastic. I’m starting to consider getting Botox – I was always adamant that I wouldn’t do anything else after I got my teeth fixed, but I’ve got so many lines on my face.
"Although I’m scared I’ll be on national TV and not be able to move my face!”
Sam has now rounded off her touring stint with Chicago: The Musical, which saw her travel across the country on her hectic schedule.
She puts her increased dress size - which now borders on a 14 to 16 - down to munching on snacks like sweets instead of proper meals.
The yummy mummy was left shocked after seeing pictures of herself while on holiday in Barbados and has started tweaking her daily regime.
She said: "I'm 12 and a half stone now; I like my legs but I've got a bit of a belly.
"I don't get down about it, I tell myself that my belly gave me three wonderful children.
"Craig's not bothered about my weight gain either; he likes something to grab hold of."
She added: "It's not about being skinny; I just know I can make better choices.
"I'm trying not to snack on cakes and biscuits and I've not been joining in with our chippy Fridays, I just stick to fish."
