Skye Wheatley’s ‘scary’ face after eye lift loses her TV job after she’s told she can’t present Love Island due to her drastically changed appearance

An Australian influencer once known for her ‘girl next door’ look has lost out on a lucrative TV presenting job at Channel Nine due to her addiction to plastic surgery.

Skye Wheatley, who rose to fame in 2014 for her role on Big Brother and became one of Australia’s first ‘Instagram stars’, recently returned from Turkey, where she underwent a fox eye lift, liposuction, a temporal lift and an eyelid lift.

These procedures were just the latest in a series of surgeries the 30-year-old has undergone over the past decade in her quest for the ‘perfect’ look.

Upon her return to Queensland, Wheatley was devastated when Nine contacted her to say the network no longer wanted her as a Love Island presenter.

Before her fateful trip to Turkey, she was first in line to replace Sophie Monk as presenter, who was leaving the dating show to pursue other projects at Nine.

“There was a thought about adding Sophie Monk to the new format of The Floor. The idea was floated that Skye could sneak in and take over Love Island Australia,” a source said.

‘The executives were confident that Skye could perform a similar task to Sophie.’

However, the insider said that Nine ultimately decided not to work with Wheatley after she drastically changed her appearance through cosmetic surgery.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Nine and Wheatley for comment.

Wheatley recently visited a renowned cosmetic surgeon in Turkey, who performed an eye surgery on her known as a fox eye lift.

She announced on social media that in addition to the fox eye lift, she also had liposuction on her arms and inner thighs, a temporal lift and a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

“The problem with changing your appearance and even your hair color is that your brand is often linked to a look that you are famous for,” the source said.

‘I don’t think Nine was insecure about her ability to present the show. I think it was just the “look” they hired her for that changed.’

On Thursday, Wheatley was seen in public for the first time since her multiple surgeries, posing for a series of selfies next to her car while out and about on the Gold Coast with her five-year-old son Forest.

There were several bruises from the liposuction visible on the tops of her thighs.

The sighting came just days after Wheatley took to social media to discuss her procedures, in response to followers claiming she’s “addicted to plastic surgery.”

She seemed happy with her results, despite the heavy bandages

In a social media post, her face was still completely covered in tape.

“I can’t show my face yet, it’s too scary. But when I’m more recovered, I’ll show the process, so don’t worry,” she told her fans last Thursday.

When asked to film her face, she replied: ‘No, it’s horrible.’

The fox eye lift is touted as a “minimally invasive” procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift the brow and elongate the outer eye area into an almond shape.

People have been achieving this look for years using clever eyeliner, eyeshadow makeup techniques, and various tweezing techniques to create a visual sweep upwards to the corner of the eye.

“I trust the process,” Wheatley said of her recovery.

In addition to the fox eye lift and liposuction, Wheatley admitted to also having an additional temporal lift (fat grafting to the face to avoid the need for injectable dermal fillers) and a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
