When Keira Maguire struts into NW HQ for her bikini shoot, she’s

the happiest we’ve ever seen her! “You can touch them,” she

tells us, looking down at her newly boosted bust.

Just a week earlier, the surgically enhanced star once again went under the knife, taking her A-cups to a C – and she’s clearly pleased with the results...

“I have the best boobs I’ve ever seen,” she says, giggling as she twirls in front of the camera and topples over. “I’m still getting used to them – it’s really hard to balance with these things, you know?”

Of course, since landing in the spotlight, the Bachelor bombshell’s been criticised relentlessly for having plastic surgeons on speed-dial – ticking off a nose job, breast implants and vampire facials, among other (sometimes painful!) procedures.

But despite any hate she might receive, Keira, who turned 31 this week, says she’s finally come to terms with her looks and is done with plastic surgery... “for now”.

After all, it’s about time she started work on all those TV shows she has up her sleeve.

That’s right, you haven’t seen the last of this bombshell...

Keira, when we checked in following your nose job in December, you told us a boob job was ages away! Yeah, since I was younger, I’ve always wanted boobs, but my nan was like, “No – when I was 30, I suddenly got boobs!” So I was like, “OK, I’m gonna wait until I’m 30.” Now I’m 31. Time was working against me!

And now look at you! How’d it all happen so fast? I went to a few different [surgeons] and initially I thought I wanted the teardrop shape – I was really adamant about it. I even had [the operation] booked in before I went on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! [in February] and had to cancel the appointment. When I got out, a friend recommended Dr Scott Turner and when I met him, he told me teardrops weren’t going to suit me, because I have broad shoulders and they wouldn’t fill in the space. You’ve been under the knife before, but how did you feel going into this surgery? I was just tired because I had to get up early! [Laughs] No, look, I was a little bit nervous, because with my nose job, I really, really, really wanted to get it done. With my boobs, though, I was like, “Am I just taking it too far?” But then every time I looked down, I was like, “I have no boobs!” and it kinda made me a little bit depressed. It was a really big decision for me, but then I had to think back... I’ve wanted this for 10 years.

So was it love at first sight?Well, when I first came out, I was a bit like, “Oh my God!” ’cos they were really, really swollen. I’ve seen some bad boob jobs before, so I was really, really scared about the end result, but after day three, they started settling down.And you’ve spent how many hours perving on yourself in the mirror? I’m not going to lie – I’ve looked in the mirror a few times since I’ve got them... I had to throw out all my bras and now I feel a little bit more feminine. Obviously, when I had short hair, too, I felt more like a boy, but now I feel like a woman!We can’t believe how active you are at day seven! Most people are bed-ridden for weeks after surgery... I look after myself and I’ve just got good genes, I think – I mean, with a little bit of enhancing. [Laughs] But I do recover really fast. There was, like, a sharp pain throughout my body when I got up really fast, which was the nerves. Because you have a foreign object in your body, your body’s like, “What the hell?!” and kind of reacts, so if I was making

any sudden movements, it was like a sharp pain – especially in my right breast. It was like an electric shock! I was really worried about that actually, then they told me it was normal. But at first, I couldn’t do even little things, like I would open a door and I was like, “Why did I do that? I shouldn’t have done that! It hurts sooo much!” And you’ve had a bit of a hair transformation, too... Ugh, the reason I had short hair was because it was burnt off by a hairdresser a couple of years ago. I was trying to grow it back! I went to a hairdresser in Brisbane and basically I had blisters all over my head – the next time I had my hair dyed, all my hair snapped off because of how much they damaged it.Well, you look smokin’! How are you feeling now after all your little nips and tucks? I think, although people can look at me like [I’m superficial], these changes make me happy and they make me feel like me. It’s not all about looks, but if you can enhance something or improvesomething, I’m all about it.

You do cop a lot of criticism, don’t you?Yeah, but also I think I’m really hard on myself. There are certain things about me I wish that I could have changed, and I’ve changed them now.Are there any more surgery surprises we should be holding out for? Kardashian-style butt implants, perhaps? That’s it for now. I’m done when it comes to that. My nose and breasts were the two things I’ve wanted to have done for 10 years. And what made me want to get them done was being in the spotlight – you focus more on those things [you want to

Despite going in with a clear idea of the breast implants she wanted, Keira says the moment she met Dr Turner, her plans got derailed!

“He used this 3D X-ray machine to show me how [round implants would] look, then I put on the bra that showed me how they’d feel, and it just felt right,” says Keira. “I completely changed from going to teardrops to round. It’s ridiculous!”

And the procedure? “Basically, Dr Turner made a 4cm

incision underneath my breast on the crease, and he went underneath the muscle, so it looks more natural,” she spills. “It took an hour and a half – I was in and out in four hours!”

‘I was in and out in four hours!’

change]. You’ve got people taking photos of you randomly and you’ve got to look good from all angles, so it’s extra pressure. They’re the things that I’ve always wanted to get done, but being in this industry just forced me to get it done in a more prompt manner.You come across as super confident, though – even before all the tweaks! Do I? I feel nervous a lot... I feel that [fame] hasn’t really changed who I am as a person. The only thing it’s really changed is I spend a lot more time by myself, because if you go out, you get pretty much ambushed. I keep to myself a lot more now. You shot to fame looking for love – how are you handling all the male attention now? Oh babe, I don’t get any male

attention! I promise you, I do not get any. Like, guys

probably do come up to me, but I’m so

emotionally unavailable

right now – I’m literally

not even joking. The

thought of a guy, like, I’m just too busy

for that. If I meet a guy, he needs to be damn special to get my attention, because I’ll

tell you right now, Sydney is lacking in talent. I might need to go overseas to find some better talent!

Ha! Preach it, sister. You’ve done The Bachelor and I’m

A Celeb, so what’s next on the agenda? I’m currently working on a few things. I can’t really say anything

at the moment, but let’s just say you might see me on the TV screen again soon. Um, spill! Please tell us it’s reality TV! Look, for some reason, reality TV just follows me wherever I go. There’s nothing I can really do about it. I’ve been offered three different gigs on reality TV since leaving I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!Three?! And now you’ve finally said yes to something?[Laughs] All I can say is I’m very excited! n
