Jessica detailed to Ruth and Eamonn the intensive surgeries she has undergone to transition. The star has had her Adam’s apple and six pack removed, face feminisation surgery and female hormones. She also underwent breast enlargement surgery at £25,000 and a set of injections in her knees, hips and feet over a five-day period in Brazil which set her back £35,000.

Jessica told the This Morning hosts:

I still need two or three surgeries to complete my transition. Then I swear for good, I’m done with plastic surgery. There is only so much one can take. Every time I go to surgery, it’s scary, it’s to be the person I am. I have to go through all that.
