Imogen Thomas set for third boob job as she makes candid surgery confession
Welsh model Imogen Thomas won an army of fans on Big Brother in 2006 alongside her friend, the late Nikki Grahame, and there's been no stopping the 42-year-old since.
Here, the winner of Miss Wales 2003 – who shares daughters Ariana, 12, and Siera, 10, with her ex Adam Horsley – opens up exclusively to new about life with her banker boyfriend, why they have no plans to live together right now and her shock plans for a third boob job...
Hi, Imogen! How are you?
I'm just busy buying flats – I have five in total now. I buy them and rent. I bought my first one when I came out of Big Brother 20 years ago.
Did you watch Celebrity Big Brother?
I didn't, actually. I've been in Turkey and just got back – so I haven't seen any of it. I took my kids on holiday and it was so nice to get away. The weather was amazing.
Do you have regrets about your own time on the show?
Never, because it's what gave me the money to buy a place of my own at the very beginning. I loved it, and if they asked me to go on it now, I would. You're not doing much on there, and I think I've changed so much since my series, so I'd love to. We'll see – maybe one day.
How do you think you'd be different this time round?
I've grown up and I definitely speak my mind a lot more now. I say what I want. Personalities change over the years, and it was 20 years since I did the show. Crazy.
Are you still dating your mysterious banker?
Yes, we're still together. We've been together two years now. It's good because he's busy and I'm busy, and I think that's what makes the relationship work. I can't deal with a needy man – I really don't like needy men.
Do you have any plans to move in together?
No. I think we're both enjoying our own space, and that's fine. I think it's important when you're dating someone that you've still got your own life as well, although everyone is different. Some people really want to move in, move forward with things, but because I have my kids, I'm more laid-back. We see each other every other weekend. He lives in Mayfair and I'm in Wandsworth, and I'm always busy with the kids.
Have you introduced him to your girls yet?
Oh, yes! They have lunches together when he's not majorly busy, especially with everything that's going on with [Donald] Trump – he's crazy busy right now.
Does he want kids?
I think he would like one. He definitely said he would like one, but he's not in a rush. He's pretty laid-back too – he's a bit like me. We enjoy our life right now, and why not?
Would you like to try for another one?
I just don't know. I wouldn't rule it out, but I'm not like, 'Yes, we'll have one!' I feel like I'm done with my two, and we've got a good thing going on. So I don't know, we'll see.
Have you frozen your eggs?
I'm not doing that – if it's meant to happen, it will happen.
You've been very open about your surgery in the past – will you have anything else done soon?
Yes, I'm going to have a boob reduction, but I'm going to wait a while. I'm doing a lot of reformer Pilates, and when I do that I feel top heavy, and I've had a lot of lower back pain. They are quite big, so I would like to have a reduction. I'm hoping to go down to a size C cup, but my surgeon said, because I look curvaceous, it's not going to look even so I'm going to think about it for a bit. This will be my third boob job to date.
Does it ever bother you how much you've spent on surgery?
I don't pay for it! I do collaborations.
A lot of women are having their boobs reduced, including Jess Wright…
You have to remember, back in the day, it was very fashionable to have big boobs, and now it's not. I think that's the reason mainly. But also, we grow up, and we have kids, and suddenly you think, 'I don't know about that.' We're still working on our bodies as we get older.
Would you let your girls go under the knife when they're older?
No, I really don't want them to. I'd do everything to avoid it, because I know they would regret it.
Your mum Janette was sadly diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2023. How is she doing?
She's OK right now, but it's very difficult. Her right side has gone now, so it's dead. I go home a lot, now. I'm home once a month to Wales, for four days at a time. We're going on holiday soon. I bid for a holiday at a MND charity event, so she and I could go to Italy in June, but now I'm dreading it because the circumstances and how she feels have changed. But we are trying to stay positive.

Backstreet Boys' horrifying security scare after confronted by bloodied fans
Backstreet Boys have a global fanbase, but singer Brian Littrell admits it can sometimes be scary the lengths they go to to see the iconic boyband Backstreet Boys are back and they are ready for a larger than life show in Las Vegas' The Sphere. The iconic group remains one of the biggest boybands in history with over 75 million album sales worldwide. And with their pull undeniable, that number will only rise with the epic re-release of their hit album Millennium. As the newly produced Millennium 2.0 hits the shelves, and band member Brian Littrell has shared his love of the group's global fanbase. However, he also admits it's not always plain sailing being so popular. Brian, who joined up with Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough to create the group, confessed they are sometimes met with scary fan moments Despite loving the fact they have such loyal fans, singer Brian revealed a number of occasions have left him stunned. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Brian said: "One of the craziest was when we were in Germany and we showed up to our dressing room. "There's two girls sitting on the couch in our dressing room. I saw them, and I didn't say anything. So I just went into the bathroom and came back out. "I asked AJ 'Hey, do you know who these two girls are in our dressing room?' And he was like,'No, I thought they were like, press or something like that'. We came to find out they were two passionate fans. They ripped their jeans, and had blood on their shirt. "It was kind of crazy to find out they were fans. They broke into the venue and got into our dressing room somehow. And, yeah, it was pretty crazy." Opening up on another occasion, Brian said a similar situation occurred in the UK. "Another one was when some fans made up fake press passes," he went on. "They were backstage just walking around. I think it was in Manchester. And I was like, 'Who are these girls? Because we don't have press today'. We found out they were just chilling backstage, hanging out with us. We finally got them out of there." And he admitted "the stories go on and on". Despite the incident, Brian says the band loves the UK and claims they "never disappoint". He also admitted fans in Blighty are very similar to those stateside. "I find the UK and the US a lot alike," he said. "To pick a difference, you have to go down to South America. They are so passionate and so loving and also crazy in a good way. It's different down there. "When you go to Japan, they're much more reserved. They wait until you're finished singing, and then they clap. It's cool, because it's just different cultures. We love the UK. I have English descent and Welsh descent and all that stuff. So, you know, the fans are great." Speaking of why the band decided to re-release Millennium, Brian went on: "It's been 25 years. Well, it's actually 26 because it came out in '99. But this is a monumental moment. It was one of the biggest pop records in history around the world. And it's kind of the stamp of approval for us in the music business. "It set the benchmark, I think, for every pop group to come after us to be like 'wow, we've got to do something like that'. So, yeah, it's monumental for us to re-release the album and to have new versions and they're even going to be even more fantastic." And he added the decision to share that journey again also merged with their excitement to create history. "Why not share in that journey again, and build a show around it and be the first of our kind to do The Sphere? "The Backstreet Boys are carrying the pop torch into The Sphere!" The Backstreet Boys 'Into The Millennium' Sphere residency started July 11 with the album Millennium 2.0 also out now.

A giant 150ft mural of Pavarotti has appeared on a North Wales hillside
The widow of the great Luciano Pavarotti has given her seal of approval to a massive 150ft mural of her late husband. The chalk profile was created in just 24 hours on a hillside in North Wales. The artwork was create to celebrate Pavarotti's first appearance 70 years ago at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, Denbighshire. To mark the anniversary, his widow Nicoletta Mantovani was a guest of honour at this year's festival. She attended the mural's unveiling alongside members of the Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir – the choir that first hosted Luciano and his father Fernando in 1955. She arrived in the town on board a vintage steam train from Corwen where the choir serenaded her with a Welsh song special to her late husband. Nicoletta said she shed a tear when she heard the world-famous choir perform. The 45-metre by 30-metre artwork is visible from the Eisteddfod Pavilion below and from Castell Dinas Brân above – a ruined medieval castle built by the Welsh Princes. It's hosted by Wern Isaf campsite on Donkey Hill overlooking the Eisteddfod grounds. Nicoletta was given a clear view of the stunning chalk sculpture, which depicts the Maestro in full voice. It was designed in partnership with record label Decca. She said it was 'really great', adding: 'It is good that it is there for people to see someone who was so closely connected to the festival.' David Hennigan, Eisteddfod board director, said the mural has become an instant tourism attraction in the town. 'The reaction from eisteddfod concertgoers has been overwhelming,' he said. 'People have been standing in the car park to view the sculture and the comments have been amazing. 'We thought it would be well received but the response has been even better than we expected. It's been a very worthwhile project.' Nicoletta, who was married to the singing legend until his death in 2007, journeyed from Italy to celebrate three major milestones at this week's International Eisteddfod. Pavarotti was just 19 and a trainee teacher when he came to the Llangollen in 1955 with his father, Fernando, as part of Chorus Rossini from their home city of Modena. He returned as a global star in 1995 to perform a sell-out concert. This year would have been his 90th birthday. Today (Saturday, July 12) she will be on the famous Pavilion stage to help present the Pavarotti Trophy, named in honour of her late husband, to the winners of the Choir of the World Competition. In another coup for the festival, on Sunday evening Nicoletta will hand over the coveted Pendine Trophy to the winner of the International Voice of the Future competition. She will sharing the presentation with sponsors Mario and Gill Kreft and another megastar of the opera world, Sir Bryn Terfel. Songs performed by Froncysyllte Male Voice Choir as Nicoletta arrived in Denbighshire included We'll Keep a Welcome in the Hillside, which Pavarotti loved. At Llangollen train station she was also entertained by Italian and Bulgarian groups competing at the festival, both in colourful national costumes. She said: 'My arrival was incredible. It was exactly the way Luciano told me how the people of Wales are so warm and friendly. And to hear the Fron Choir perform – especially the welcome song that was a favourite of his – I cried. 'Travelling on the train was also very special, seeing the countryside and when we arrived at Llangollen station, I enjoyed the choir and the dancers who greeted us. I knew one of the songs and mimed along to it. 'At the Eisteddfod it was fantastic to meet the volunteers. It is really important and so precious for people from all different countries to come together in the name of culture and music.'
