Exclusive:
Olivia Attwood’s Perfect
Olivia Attwood will make a full-bodied dive into the world of cosmetic surgery for a brand-new ITV series, Olivia Attwood’s Perfect….
Following the success of her current ITV show, Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich, which explores online sex, Olivia will now immerse herself in an even more eye-boggling and cash-crazed industry – and one which she, herself, is no stranger to.
In the hands-on style viewers of Getting Filthy Rich will be familiar with, Olivia will not flinch as she delves into the extreme lengths people go to in order to achieve the ‘perfect look.’
Olivia will investigate the high-risk nature of going under the knife and the jeopardy that comes with any procedure, as well as the eye-watering amount of money some are willing to spend on their dream appearance.
Olivia asks beyond the price tag what are the potential human costs of surgery and gets up close and personal with cosmetic surgery’s winners and losers.
