Over the course of the six episodes, the Loose Woman panellist met with various experts and patients to get a closing look at the world of cosmetic surgery.
But it was when Olivia met Alicia towards the end of the latest episode that people were left stunned.
Alicia's £250,000 left her looking completely unrecognisable, with large lips, breasts and long platinum blonde hair to complete the look.
The surgery fan even donned a
pink
outfit and accessories in a bid to look more like Barbie.

At one point in the episode, Olivia was taken aback by a scrapbook full of old pictures of Alicia.
Inside were pictures of Alicia taken when she was around 18-years-old, in 2016, but the girl looked nothing like the Alicia standing next to Olivia.
Despite having the same blonde hair, the surgery fan looked much more natural, sporting a casual outfit and nothing too attention grabbing.
Olivia gasped at the before pictures: "Oh. My. God."

Then, speaking about if she knew her look would change so drastically, Alicia confessed: "To people who really knew me back then, knew what I was like, it wouldn't be a big shock because I've always sort of been quite outgoing and confident and sexual and stuff like that."
In complete shock, Olivia continued to flip through the pictures, pinpointing different stages of Alicia's cosmetic journey, from breast implants, to a rhinoplasty.

But despite what some might assume, Alicia said her surgery has never stopped her from doing anything.
"I choose my health and my looks over everything so I spend a lot of
money
on the stuff I put into my body such as food and that kind of thing.

"And I spend a lot of money on getting the right kind of filler, the best products," she explained.
The surgery lover also revealed that she'd never want to go back to her old self, even as she gets older.
"I just have such a fun life and I would never want it to change," she said.

What are the risks of getting surgery abroad?
IT'S important to do your research if you're thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad.
It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks.
Safety standards in different countries may not be as high.
No surgery is risk-free. Complications can happen after surgery in the UK or abroad.
If you have complications after an operation in the UK, the surgeon is responsible for providing follow-up treatment.
Overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or they may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK.
Also, they may not have a healthcare professional in the UK you can visit if you have any problems.
