An American mother-of-two who spent $15,000 to enhance the size of her hips and bottom says she's lucky to be alive after her 'obsession' could have killed her.
Vanity Wonder spoke to Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford on This Morning today and admitted she was 'dumb' to go to extreme lengths to get a curvy posterior.
After showing pictures where Vanity looked 'bootilicious' before having hundreds of the illegal injections, Ruth asked the 30-year-old why she had wanted to change her body shape.
Regrets: Vanity Wonder appeared on This Morning to show Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford how injections and then silicone implants have left her with a disproportionately large bottom
Curvaceous: The 30-year-old told the amazed presenters she become obsessed with making her bum bigger when she worked as a dancer
Before: After seeing these pictures of Vanity before her injections, Ruth asked the mother-of-two why she wanted to change herself. She said it was thanks to competition with other women in her job as a dancer
Eamon asked Vanity to stand up from the This Morning sofa to reveal just how large her bottom is now. 'That's quite a curve,' he commented.
Vanity admitted she isn't happy with her size but she has learnt to live with it because surgery to reverse it would be too risky.

Speaking out: Vanity hopes her experience will deter other women from having illegal butt injections
She said: 'Having the infection didn't make me stop. It was only when I was faced with jail and being away from my kids.'
Vanity is no longer a dancer and hasn't had injections since May 2011. She now says she wants to dedicate her life to warning others of the dangers of having illegal injections.
She has written a book, Shot Girls, which charts her own experience of having illegal injections and warns against following her example.
'I wanted to tell the truth 100 per cent so people know what it really is. You can get implants but injections made freely into your butt is not legal in any sense of the word,' she said.
