NHS BLAGGER:
‘I’mgetting even more freesurgery’ After lying about having depression to get a nose job on the NHS, Carla Bellucci is now scrounging for a sexy body overhaul
CARE IF PEOPLE DON’T LIKE ME – AT LEAST I GET WHAT I WANT❜
November and complained that the one I got before wasn’t what I wanted – it was a bit wonky, not perfect. They said it needed a year to settle down, but I’ve got an appointment in April to discuss it further and I’m hoping they’ll give me another one. “I don’t care if people don’t like me for it – at least I get what I want.” HATE MAIL
Carla, who lives in a four-bed house in Hertfordshire paid for with housing benefit, has been bombarded with hate mail since she went public about her nose job in February 2019. She says, “I’d been to a Harley Street surgeon who quoted me £7,000 for a nose job. I only wanted to straighten out a slight bump and that seemed like a lot of money to fork out. So I lied to a doctor and told him my nose was

making me depressed. I flirted a bit with him as well and he wrote a letter referring me for surgery.” Carla – who is mum to Jermaine, 17, Tanisha, 15, and Jayden, 12 – has already had a boob job, which she paid for herself, 11 years ago. But next month, she is going to Turkey for her next round of free surgery. She will also get free flights, villa accommodation and meals. RISKY PROCEDURE

She says, “My boobs are OK, but I want to go up a cup, from a 34D to a 34E. I’d seen a documentary about this Turkish clinic where people go for surgery abroad, so I decided to chance it and email
the surgeon to ask if I could have any procedures for free. “Because I’m well-known, he said he’d operate – as long as I post a few pictures on Instagram. Once again, I’ve proved that if you don’t ask, you don’t get.” She naively adds, “I know the Brazilian butt lift is a dangerous procedure, and people have died during the surgery, but I’m sure it’s worth the risk. My bum is saggy and needs a lift.” It’s the latest in a long line of blags on the back of her notoriety. Carla also enjoys free Botox and fillers, threading, manicures, make-up, tickets to concerts, meals and Champagne thanks to Instagram collaborations and her sheer audacity. She says, “I know it seems unfair, and I admit I don’t deserve it, but if I can get free stuff then I will. “Anyone else could do the same – there’s nothing stopping them. People can hate me all they want, but I’ll be the one having the last laugh with my new boobs and bum!” By Mel Fallowfield CLOSERONLINE.CO.UK

arla Bellucci sparked controversy last year when she brazenly boasted about faking depression in order to con the NHS into giving her a £7k new nose. Since then, the shameless mum of three has dubbed herself the “Queen of Blagging” and next month she’s jetting off to Turkey to enjoy yet more free surgery, including a second boob job and a controversial Brazilian bum lift – regarded as the most dangerous nip/tuck op. Carla, 37, says, “I’m one of life’s takers. If I think I can get something for free, I’ll do my best to get it, and I don’t see anything wrong with that. If you don’t have the same view as me, you’re a mug. “I’m even hoping to get a second nose job on the NHS. I went back to my doctor in
