Big Brother star Nadia Almada looked unrecognizable as she continued to show off her new look while recovering from a facelift in Türkiye this week.
The 49-year-old reality personality, who lost an incredible 10 stone, was seen with her face still bandaged in the Bakırköy area of Istanbul after surgery.
It’s only been 10 days since Nadia went back under the knife after her dress size was reduced by 10 sizes following her gastric sleeve surgery in 2024.
The Portuguese-born winner of series five was sipping juice through a straw as he strolled around the area.
Last year, Nadia slammed the Supreme Court’s decision, which she described as “horrible”, and insisted she would “rather refuse treatment than wake up in the men’s ward”.
She appeared on television to discuss a landmark Supreme Court decision declaring that the definition of woman is based on biological sex.
Nadia said: ‘It’s a terrible time for me. It’s this whole idea that we’re not women in this regard based on our gender. This is so scary…
‘For me, for people of our generation who have lived through experiences of discrimination, and now to have these protected rights taken away from us, it’s very inhumane.
‘Terrible. ‘I don’t even know what else to say.’
When asked about her pain, she continued: ‘It saddens me that my identity is questioned and that sex and gender come first.
‘The Supreme Court’s decision makes such a binary term that it does not actually include non-binary people or recognize non-binary or intersex people. Is sex really binary? I don’t think so.
‘For me it’s about my identity, a lot of times people describe me as transgender, but I believe in my own way, how I live my life, I have my identity as a woman first and trans second.

‘This is how I live my life and how I navigate society. This is hugely important to me, if I am to be classified as anything other than female based on certified gender and birth sex, this spells troubled times.
‘If we talk to society in general, we all express the same feeling. The idea of waking up in the men’s ward – I’d rather refuse treatment than be subjected to that…’
He continued: ‘After this happened [the Supreme Court ruling]It triggered the idea of how feminine I was, how people would see me, whether I had the right western views of what a woman should look like or should look like.
‘Then I went crazy about my identity.’
Earlier this year, Nadia released Remember Me? podcast and Maisie Adam asked: ‘What’s a common misconception people might have about fame?’
He said: ‘Fame equals happiness. Not. HE [fame] equals money. It may come with that, but fame doesn’t necessarily mean having seven figures. This doesn’t equalize any of that. ‘Fame is actually the worst part of being a public person.’
