Amanda Lovett, the 57-year-old fan favourite from the first series of BBC's The Traitors, has left viewers astonished after appearing on the spin-off show Uncloaked looking visibly younger. Fans took to social media to comment on her fresh-faced appearance, with one writing: 'Sorry but amanda looks PHENOMENAL #TheTraitors,' and another adding: 'Amanda (S1) looks 20 years younger on uncloaked omgg.'
Lovett, a mother of five and grandmother, previously revealed she underwent a neck and lower facelift costing an estimated £7,600. The procedure, performed under local anaesthetic, took up to five hours. She recalled: 'It felt like a lot of tugging, pulling and tugging. I found it comforting – I even dozed off at one point.' The recovery period lasted three to four weeks for swelling to subside, with full healing taking three months.
Lovett explained her decision to have surgery after seeing herself on camera during the first series: 'I noticed my face and neck were just getting saggier and saggier. I started to think about needing to wear a scarf or polo necks just to hide this area of my body that I didn't like. But then I thought, why should I do that when there is help out there that can sort this issue out and take the years back a bit?'
Her appearance on Uncloaked alongside Charlotte Church and recently banished contestant Fiona sparked further discussion among fans, some of whom complained that the spin-off show spoils the main programme by revealing clues about upcoming eliminations. One viewer tweeted: 'The guests keep spoiling the show, and I’m tweeting this so they hopefully see it and stop it!! @BBC.'
