BIG Brother’s Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has issued a stark warning after she “nearly died” when she took fake Ozempic to lose two stone.
The reality star – who shot to fame in the seventh series of Big Brother in 2006 – has opened up at her trauma after taking a bogus fat jab.
Aisleyne, 46, has warned others of the possible fatal dangers of taking fake Ozempic injections bought from the black market.
The property mogul said she gained two stone when she was in a “dark place” after her best friend Femi died last year.
In a bid to shift the weight, Aisleyne said she bought a fake version of the controversial drug, which left her with awful side effects.
She told Closer magazine: “I won’t lie, and I’m not proud, but I bought Ozempic injections from the black market.
“I must have had a dodgy batch because my body reacted so badly.
“For three days, I thought I was going to die.”
Continuing her story she said: “I was in my bed, waking up vomiting, suffering with diarrhoea and falling asleep again.
“At one point, I had three bags of vomit by my bedside.
“Frighteningly, I started losing my vision, my eyes were going blurry, and I couldn’t even see my phone. I had no idea what was going to happen to me”.
Despite feeling like she could “die”, she said she felt “too embarrassed” to seek urgent medical attention.

“I felt guilty over wasting NHS resources when I’d done this to myself.”
Aisleyne described the “horrific” ordeal as the most serious health issue she has ever been through.
Issuing a warning to others, she said: “My message is do not do it. I nearly died because of that s***.
“Your life is not worth losing over losing weight.
“Don’t cut corners with your health, and don’t buy stuff off the black market because you don’t know what’s in it.
“It’s the most horrific health issue I’ve ever been through, and I will never do it again.”
The Big Brother icon has always been very honest about the cosmetic surgery she has had.
She previously revealed her quest for perfect teeth backfired when botched veneers left her with a “wonky face”.
The star later participated in Celebrity Botched Bodies to get them fixed.
Aisleyne came into the public eye after her upfront and straight-talking attitude on Big Brother back in 2006.
The star has since transformed herself into a multi-millionaire thanks to a series of clever property investments.
