Former Big Brother contestant Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has warned others about the dangers of counterfeit diet injections after a near-fatal experience left her bedridden for days.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain on Thursday, the reality star told presenters Ranvir Singh and Richard Madeley that she bought the injections through a WhatsApp group after seeing them on TikTok. The pre-mixed syringe, costing around £100 for a month's supply, came with no instructions.
"I foolishly took it," she said, describing how she injected it into her abdomen. Horgan-Wallace admitted she had concerns but was in "a really dark place" following a period of grief and wanted a quick fix.
The effects were severe: "I was in bed for three to four days, comatose, in and out of consciousness. Bags of sick by my bed, I couldn't even crawl to the toilet." She did not call 999 but felt sick after the first injection, with symptoms worsening after the second.
Horgan-Wallace urged the government to do more to combat the sale of fake jabs and warned: "Do you really want to put yourself through all of that? You could die. Go to the gym."
