Charlotte Crosby has been forced to have her breast implants removed for medical reasons.
The former Geordie Shore star, 28, went under the knife this week after suffering from agonising pain in her breasts.
It was reported that Charlotte underwent surgery after returning from a trip to Brazil with boyfriend Josh Ritchie, 24, with the whole ordeal said to be captured for her MTV reality series, The Charlotte Show.

A source revealed to The Sun: 'Charlotte has been in quite severe pain with her breasts, one in particular.
'She saw a specialist before Brazil and he diagnosed severe inflammation and capsular contracture - which is when the scar tissue around the implant inside the body gets tight and hard.
'This can cause chronic pain and hardness which was what Charlotte was experiencing. As a precaution she has also been referred for breast scans to ensure there is nothing else going on.'
The publication states that the star had her implants put in in 2017, at the same time as she had surgery to correct her symmastia aka 'uniboob' - which sees the breast merge across the breast bone.

However, the TV personality had doubts about having the boob job, with the source adding that Charlotte 'bitterly regrets' having the procedure.
The Geordie Shore beauty will now have to spend plenty of time resting at home while she recovers from her operation.
Luckily for the star, she has the support of loyal boyfriend Josh, with the former Love Island hunk having stood by Charlotte throughout her ordeal.
Charlotte's medical drama will be played out on her MTV series later this year.
MailOnline have contacted representatives for Charlotte for comment.
