The37-year-old reality star - who has appeared on 'The Only Way Is Essex' since 2013 - has had a raft of work done since becoming famous but will always "find fault" in his appearance no matter how much he goes through.

Speaking on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain', he said: "I've had my eyes done, my nose done, you're getting carried away. Something that would have taken a couple of hours, a couple of pictures, now takes a full day. Sometimes I’m being irrational. I’m a good looking guy, I’m in good shape, but I will still find fault - whether I’m on set or even if I’m going away on holiday or doing a shoot for a brand, I will find fault.

"I started off with a hair transplant, I’ve had my ears done, my teeth done - that’s a standard thing for everyone at the minute.

"Recently I did another TV show and injured myself a little bit. The injuries were bad, but they weren’t as bad as what I created in my head. So I’ve had my eyes done, my nose done. You’re getting carried away."

The former 'Celebrity Ex on the Beach' star added that one moment he can be "rational" about his whole hangup but then the next he can be at work doing a photoshoot and spend the whole day criticising himself in what he looks like.

He said: "I can sit here and be rational about it but a couple of days ago I'm doing a shoot and what should take half an hour takes a full day because I'm finding fault in everything and I'm comparing myself to my competition.

"Remember, the show's that I've been on, we might be all be friends, but we're all in competition."
