THE Only Way Is Essex star Junaid Ahmed has unveiled his brand new look following nose, chin and hairline procedures.
The reality favourite, 29, revealed the results of his surgeries on his birthday as he leaned on a couch in a bathrobe and lifted a glass of orange juice.

In addition to the many congratulations on his birthday, there were also many comments calling the defined look “beautiful”.
Junaid left for Turkey in December to have a nose job done on his nose.
Then he opened up about the reasons behind the surgery, saying it was due to three attacks by bullies in his childhood.
He told Johnny Seifert at the Secure The Insecure podcast that it wasn’t “for vanity reasons” but because it “needed to be fixed”.
“I didn’t get my rhinoplasty for vain reasons or anything like that,” Junaid said. Don’t get me wrong, the trolling since I’ve been on Towie has been awful.
“The first thing people have jumped on is my nose, which is fair enough. But my nose had to be fixed.
“When I was younger I was bullied so badly at school. I got attacked a few times and the bullies broke my nose in three different places.
“This wasn’t something I just came up with because I’ve had a lot of comments like, ‘Oh he just got on reality TV and he’s getting his nose’. Far from the point.
“These are years of torment I’ve endured, and I’ve had breathing problems since I was 16, when my nose was broken by the bullies.”
Junaid admitted that he had never spoken publicly about the horrific attacks, which left him bruised and bloodied.
He recalled: “When I was in school, my school would let me leave school earlier than others so that I could get home safely, because they were concerned about my safety.
“Three times when I was walking home from school I was attacked by a group of boys at my school and they broke my nose three times, and I have never spoken about this publicly before.
“But now it’s time for me to have a platform. People need to know. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.
“I’d go home to some guards. I’d have black eyes. My nose would bleed in the middle. I’d lie and say I fell.”
Junaid spent over £10,000 on surgery before joining Towie – but now want a more natural look.
The star has been open about a number of improvements to his face, including getting his teeth done in Turkey.
