Ferne McCann broke down in tears as she unveiled her new nose on This Morning.

The former TOWIE regular, 26, underwent facial surgery after years of feeling insecure over a “bump” on her nose.

McCann said she was teased at school and branded a “goose” by male pupils in secondary school who made her feel as if her nose was “taking over my face”, and revealed her insecurities were exacerbated when she was thrown into the public eye.

Speaking about her decision to undergo the procedure she told Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes: “It was this one thing that has bugged me my whole life. I got teased at school and it became an insecurity. I didn’t feel confident. On the exterior I seem like this confident girl, but inside it [bothered] me.

“Boys used to call me goose at school and that’s what planted the seed so it was way before I was in the public eye, but the Twitter trolls didn’t help.”

McCann couldn’t fight back the tears as she opened up about her fear of upsetting her mother by undergoing surgery.

She said: “That was the one thing that held me back. My mum created me and I didn’t want to change it for her. It makes me emotional now.”

The former reality TV star said she wants to be a role model for young girls who may be considering going under the knife and encouraged them to think carefully before making any drastic decisions.

“It was a considered decision,” she said. “My first consultation was at 18 but I felt too young. The reason I’m talking about it because some girls might see me as a role model so I want to be open and honest.

“If you’re thinking of going under the knife and you’re a teenager without an Instagram perfect face wait until you’re an adult."

Viewers praised McCann, while others boosted her confidence by telling her she looked beautiful before the surgery.
