‘My mum had better boobs than me and she’s had two kids! I had such big boobs before that it was literally like nothing.

‘When I had them done, my surgeon said he’s not going to give me implants, I’ve got to go somewhere else if I want them, so I was like, “you sound like a good guy, I’m going with you”. 

Shaughna, who is currently single on the show, after Callum Jones was stolen from her by twin Eve Gale, added she had undergone a few other ‘tweaks’ including lipfillers and filler into her laughter lines. 

Discussing her preparations for entering the villa, Shaughna said she watched what she ate over the festive period and didn’t ‘binge on everything’.

The interview comes after Shaughna showed off her stunning weight loss ahead of entering the villa in jaw-dropping Instagram snaps.

The star revealed her body transformation in November, with a series of before and after photos showing her posing in lingerie.

In 2016, the star showed off a curvier physique as she snapped a photo in a black bra and nude underwear.

A photo taken one year later revealed South Londoner Shaughna had dropped a substantial amount of weight, as she displayed her trim waist and bronzed legs.

A third sizzling snap from 2019 showed the beauty posing in her underwear once more as she displayed her trimmer toned frame.   

She captioned the snap: ‘Consistency, not perfection’ with the montage liked by more than 400 people.

Self-dubbed ‘politics nerd’ Shaughna revealed any new man she dates must get along with her beloved mother Tracey above all in a candid interview before the show.

She said: ‘I’m a big politics nerd. I work with people that are in politics. I sound completely different to them. 

‘My ideal man would be six foot-plus. or just taller than me in heels, nice to my mum, because if you don’t get on with Tracey then there’s no future. I am definitely what you would call a relationship girl. 

‘There’s nothing better than Sunday snuggles and a bit of Gogglebox. I have bad luck, it’s not even bad luck, it’s the cocky boys I attract. 

‘And then as soon as I’m sold the dream, I purchase, I throw the receipt away, and then hook line and sinker. 

‘I’m definitely confident when it comes to my looks, but I just think my personality tops it… No, that’s so big headed! I just want to get into the villa now. 

‘The thought of lying around the pool all day, beautiful men and lathered up, I mean what could do wrong?’   

With more Islanders set to be added after the show debuts on Sunday, Love Island’s winter edition is sure to keep fans warm during the long nights ahead. 

The latest batch of hopefuls are set to be protected by armed guards, as the show’s bosses parry kidnap concerns in South Africa.

The singletons will live in a luxurious £5.3million villa in Cape Town, one of the world’s most dangerous cities, for six weeks. As well as TV crews being given training on dealing with any potential security, breach guards will be on constant watch.

A Love Island spokesman told MailOnline: ‘The safety and security of our Islanders and crew are of the utmost importance.’ 

Winter Love Island will launch on ITV2 on Sunday, January 12.
