TOWIE’s Chloe Brockett claims she’s been left with permanent vision problems after taking weight-loss jabs when she was a size 10

by

Chloe Brockett says using the weight-loss drug Ozempic when she was already a size 10 has caused lasting vision issues.

The 24-year-old former TOWIE star recently shared that she started getting injections to lose weight after gaining a dress size two years ago. Even though she experienced some side effects, she says she doesn’t regret her decision.

Ozempic is an injection given once a week that contains a medication originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes. Although many people lose weight while using it, it’s currently not approved in the UK specifically as a weight-loss solution.

Doctors have cautioned that the vaccines haven’t been thoroughly tested on individuals with a healthy weight. There are concerns that people of normal weight might be at a greater risk of experiencing serious side effects.

Despite the warnings, Chloe continued to use the injections to control her appetite and maintain her figure for her OnlyFans photoshoots.

She told The Sun that she’d always been naturally curvy, but after filming the show ‘Celebs Go Dating’ for E4, she noticed her stomach getting rounder and started to feel self-conscious about her figure.

She went on to explain that she hadn’t wanted to admit she’d gained weight, so she kept trying to fit into her old size eight clothes. But when she saw photos of herself, she realized she needed to face the truth.

I started using Ozempic as soon as I learned about its weight loss benefits, but I quickly began experiencing some unpleasant side effects.

The celebrity admitted she frequently woke up with intense sugar cravings at night. Once, she felt faint and ended up eating a plain pancake with honey just to feel better.

Chloe shared that she’d been experiencing extreme mood changes and was sleeping a lot more than normal.

She explained that her vision started to worsen, and she had to begin wearing glasses when driving – something she’d never needed before.

Chloe shared that her eyesight has gotten so weak she needs to wear contact lenses constantly, as she can no longer clearly see her car’s dashboard without them.

The actress explained she’s completely blind without her contact lenses and believes her recent eyesight problems are a side effect of the weight-loss medication she’s been using.

Even though she was experiencing concerning symptoms, Chloe, who became well-known on TOWIE when she was only 18, decided not to see a doctor.

She stated she’s comfortable giving herself the injections, and explained she has a friend—a nurse—who prescribes them for her.

Chloe also worried that doctors might criticize her decision to get vaccinated and ask why she felt she needed them.

She’s currently combining weight loss injections with exercise – Pilates and regular gym visits – but still believes in the idea of a fast solution.

Chloe hasn’t weighed herself recently, but she thinks she’s lost about a stone, returning her to her normal weight of nine stone.

The TV star shared that she believes her vision got worse soon after she began getting vaccinated, and she sees a connection between the two.

Chloe admitted it was frustrating, but realized she probably should have been wearing her glasses more often. She said the experience has motivated her to wear her contacts consistently from now on.

She added that she will likely get laser eye surgery at some point in the future.

When Chloe’s eyesight started to decline, she switched from Ozempic to a different injectable medication, using a monthly dose of 2.5 to 5 milligrams. Despite this change, she continues to struggle with feelings of sadness and fatigue.

Both Ozempic and Wegovy include vision changes as a possible serious side effect in their patient safety information.

After leaving the reality show TOWIE last year, the 24-year-old has found success on OnlyFans and continues to collaborate with brands through social media.

You know, I talk to a lot of people about body image, and it’s so common to see your confidence dip when your body changes. Chloe recently shared with me that gaining weight really affected how she felt about herself – she just wasn’t comfortable in her own skin, and honestly, that’s something so many of us can relate to.

She used to dislike posing in swimwear or lingerie for pictures, but she’s much more comfortable and self-assured when she’s photographed now.

Chloe says the procedures helped her feel better about herself, but also acknowledged they come with both positive and negative effects.

Okay, so I’ve been experimenting with weight-loss injections for about two years now, and honestly, I don’t follow a strict schedule. I just use them when I feel like I need a little boost – it’s all about listening to my body and doing what feels right for me at the moment.
