Talking to MailOnline while waiting to see a doctor, Jessica admitted her arm was possibly now infected as a result of self-medicating with steroid injections.

‘Every time I eat since my recent surgery, my limbs swell up and it hurts – the steroid injections help. I was due to fly to London today but now I can’t go.’
Jessica has been swollen since the nine litres of silicone oil she had put into her bottoms travelled down her legs and feet.
She had some of the solution removed in an operation, but she has been suffering from swelling since which is exacerbated when she eats.
