Yazmin Oukhellou showed off her surgically enhanced body in a tiny string bikini in a new clip shared to Instagram on Thursday. The former TOWIE star, 32, turned this way and that to display her slender, sculpted physique in a leopard print two-piece, letting her raven locks cascade over her shoulder as she posed for the camera.
The clip comes just months after Oukhellou underwent her latest round of cosmetic procedures in Turkey, having a temporal, or fox eye, lift, a neck and jaw lift, and 360 liposuction. At the time she shared a selfie of her bruised and bandaged face and her body squeezed into a compression vest, insisting she was not "pushing surgery on anyone" but was simply trying to be honest with her fans.
Rehab retreat in Spain
The sizzling snaps come days after Oukhellou revealed she had checked herself into a £4,500-a-week holistic rehabilitation centre in Spain to "finally heal" following a turbulent few years. She documented her stay at Oasis Premium Recovery on her Instagram stories last month, showing glimpses of the complex and its mountain views. The retreat describes itself as "your home away from home with expert care and an individually tailored treatment plan for addiction and mental health recovery."
Explaining her decision to go, Oukhellou said: "I'm finally giving myself permission to deal with things I've pushed down for a long time. I've always been so good at carrying on and pretending I'm fine, but now I'm learning to slow down, be honest with myself and actually heal. One day at a time."
Police raid after Mayfair nightclub attack
Oukhellou travelled to the retreat just weeks after police raided her home following a knife attack at a Mayfair nightclub. On August 12, Lucci Guthrie, 28, was charged with attempted murder over an attack on Rhys Copas, the new partner of his ex-girlfriend. Guthrie was arrested at Oukhellou's flat in an armed police raid hours after the violence erupted at the Mistress of Mayfair in the early hours of the morning.
Copas suffered an 8cm slash to his neck that exposed his voice box and damaged nerves, and he was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. Premier League stars had gathered at the upmarket nightclub, where bottles of wine can cost upwards of five figures, to celebrate the birthday of Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey. The celebrations were brought to a halt as police raced in to shut down the central London venue, and the footballer's 20 guests, including teammate Lamare Bogarde, made a quick exit after the attack took place near the dancefloor.
After Metropolitan Police officers identified a suspect, they swooped on the reality TV star's home, alongside local police in Hertfordshire. Oukhellou was reportedly at the property in Hertford when it was raided. She was not arrested and is not being treated as a suspect.
TOWIE career and Jake McLean crash
Oukhellou joined The Only Way Is Essex, the long-running ITVBe reality series following the lives of young adults in Essex, in 2017 and quickly became a central cast member because of her tumultuous relationship with co-star James Lock. She permanently stepped away from the show three years ago to focus on her recovery after being injured in a car crash that killed her boyfriend, Jake McLean.
In 2022, McLean's blue Mercedes E-Class saloon plunged from a mountainous road into a ravine in Bodrum, Turkey, while Oukhellou was in the passenger seat. Since leaving reality television, she has focused on her career as an influencer and beauty salon owner.
