I couldn't believe Clare Wordley's transformation - as soon as I saw her photos I knew she had a story to share in the UK press. I wrote her story for Chat magazine and Woman monthly, and she was chuffed with both.
GLAM GRAN MAKEOVER: 10 STONE LOST, £10K SPENT ON A NEW BODY, AND NO MAN... PERFECT!
Clare, 48, went from dowdy and depressed to feeling 21 again after losing 10st and forking out £10k on a full body makeover. Now feeling more alive than ever, the glam gran plans to grow old as disgracefully as possible - and says she doesn't need a man anymore...
‘After coming out of a 16-year marriage that ended badly, I was miserable. So my GP prescribed me antidepressants.
'They had a reverse reaction and made me feel suicidal, resulting in me trying to kill myself three times. The medication also made me gain weight and as well as gaining 2 stone after having four kids, now 30, 29, 21, 20, I piled on another 8 stone.
'Tipping the scales at 19st 8.5lb and more than doubling in dress size - from a 12 to a 28 - I was clinically depressed and clinically obese. My anxiety was so bad I didn’t want to leave the house...
'One day, I was at work in the salon where I worked as a beautician when a friend said: 'You've spent 40 years without these meds, you don’t need them.' It was like something snapped in my head and I gradually weaned myself off.
'I started a 3-a-day shake diet and shrunk until I was a size 6/8 and weighed 9st 4lbs – but there was a catch. An apron of loose skin hung from my stomach, sagged on my legs and arms, and my boobs resembled two teabags.
'I saved £10k and in January 2023, I travelled to Lithuania and practically ran into theatre, excited to have a full body-lift, including my breasts. I came out with the stomach of a 21-year-old gym-goer!
'I landed a new job as a chauffeur and my wardrobe changed too. Out went the baggy tent-like t-shirts, and in came the smallest clothing I could find! Tight leather trousers, sexy leopard print dresses, and tiny cleavage-revealing crop tops.
'I’ve been on a million dates, but I’ve now realised I don’t need a man anymore. I'm perfectly happy being single and a ‘hot granny’ as I'm known! I became a grandmother aged 42 – I have three grandchildren and another on the way. But people never believe me when I tell them.
'I've gained a stone since my diet, as I felt too thin, and I'm now 10st 6lb and a size 10. I’ve even had friends say, ‘Clare, is that really you?’ I look and feel like a completely different person.
‘In October, I returned to Lithuania for an arm lift. The weight loss and surgery has transformed me from a recluse to a confident, outgoing granny who likes to wear next to nothing. I want to grow old as disgracefully as possible!’
Clare had her surgery at private plastic surgery clinic Nordesthetics, in Kaunas, Lithuania.
