The X Factor's Chris Maloney spent £60k on cosmetic surgery after online abuse led to breakdown
Former X Factor finalist Chris Maloney has told This Morning he has spent £60,000 on cosmetic surgery after being the victim of internet trolls.
Chris, who competed in the talent show in 2012, said the comments about his looks took their toll and resulted in him having a breakdown.
Asked about blocking the internet trolls, Maloney told This Morning he tried to block his attackers but they got him "at the lowest point of my life".
"It was continuous and I just hated myself. I hated looking at myself. I was analysing myself, he said.
"And then I started to lose my hair throughout the show - it was stress-induced hair loss. It was just coming out in the sink when I was going to do TV interviews or radio and towards the end of the show, you could see on the final it [hairline] was right the way back."
Maloney said he has since had three hair transplants, an eye lift, a nose job and dental work, and declared: "I feel so much better now."
