ONE of Britain’s most controversial mums has revealed that her eye-watering sum she has spent on surgery to look like her 20-year-old daughter.
Sarah Burge, 63, made headlines a decade ago after spending a staggering £500,000 on 27 operations, plus countless cosmetic treatments, to turn herself into a human Barbie doll.
Since then, she has spent a further £100,000 in pursuit of eternal youth.
The mum-of-three caused controversy in 2010 when she gave then-15-year-old daughter, Hannah, Botox in her face.
Back then, Sarah was spending an average of £20,000 a year maintaining her looks, which she started changing when she was 26.
Now, she is using discounted Botox to stop her face from ageing.
She told Closer magazine that she has access to discounted Botox and filler due to her job and is determined to “look even younger” than her 20-year-old daughter, Poppy.
“It’s not that I’m jealous of Poppy; I’m pleased that she looks gorgeous,” she said.
“But I miss having that youthful glow.
“She’s a permanent reminder of how I want to look.
“In fact, I want to look even younger than her.
“I’m addicted to surgery – once you get a taste for improving your looks and you know what’s possible, you want to keep doing it.”
It was reported in 2012 that Sarah gave Poppy plastic surgery vouchers when she was just seven-years-old, including one for £7,000 for a boob job.
Poppy is yet to cash in the vouchers but her surgery-mad mum insists that they’re “there if she wants it”.
Sarah still gives Botox and filler to Poppy, including in her armpits to “stop her from sweating”.
“The way I see it is that surgery is empowering, a way of taking control over the way you look,” she added.
LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.
She told Fabulous: “The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves – no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
“All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
“Poppy is far from just being obsessed by her looks.
“She’s on her way to qualifying as an airline pilot – she’s well balanced and doing great.”
Sarah is a former Playboy Bunny who owned a swingers club in London in the Noughties.
These days, she splits her time between Spain and Stratford-upon-Avon with her husband, Tony, 64.
