The video, which had a narrator filter as the voiceover, explained she has a ‘new lease of confidence’ after finally getting the op done.

The video explained how Doctor Greg Bran – who is one of London’s leading plastic surgery specialists – from the GBA London clinic, cut along Meryl’s hairline, then pulled her skin up to remove extra skin, before sтιтching it all back together.

Meryl confessed that to her, it has been worth it.

A third commented: ‘You do you girl. You deserve happiness.’

And a fourth said: ‘Stunning before stunning after… but the new confidence is RADIANT.’ 

Meryl’s new-found confidence comes some months after she was forced to hide in a toilet after being targeted by feral teenagers on a London-bound train.

The TV star won a share of the BBC show’s £101,050 cash prize after appearing on its first series in 2022.

And she admitted to being an ‘easy target’ for a gang of four youths during a January trip to London – after admitting she has only just gained the confidence to travel by train.

Addressing TikTok followers, she admitted she had retreated to a nearby toilet in a bid to escape their verbal abuse.

‘Living with this condition is something that you can’t hide,’ she explained. ‘People see you straight away; they notice you straight away, you’re just an easy target.

She was bed-bound after undergoing the procedure – which was done by Doctor Greg Bran – who is one of London’s leading plastic surgery specialists

‘I got on the train, they sat opposite me because I’m sitting on the seats with tables, and so far they’ve said that I need a stepladder to get on the train, I’m a midget, they’ve watched dwarf throwing, they’ve taken videos of me, they’ve taken pH๏τos of me, they said I’ve got sausage fingers, and they’ve laughed at me.’

The Scottish influencer admitted she was staying in the toilet until they left the train, and condemned fellow pᴀssengers for not stepping in.

She added: ‘This is all in the space of 10 minutes. I’m on my own right now. Everyone around me has witnessed this, heard this, and no one’s said anything. I don’t know what to do.

‘So I thought, I know they’re getting off at Durham, and they got on at Newcastle, so if you know these people, let me know, four teenagers… so I’m gonna wait in the toilet until the Durham stop, then I’ll go out.’

Meryl has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia which affects the growth of cartilage and can lead to a larger forehead.
