Harry returned to TOWIE for the 10th anniversary celebrations in 2020, and the star was forced to take to Twitter as he confirmed he had not undergone Botox, only some lip filler.

He penned: ‘Honestly… I won’t say this again, I haven’t had any filler or Botox in my face, the only thing I have had done is a tiny bit of lip filler… so can we all stop comparing 16 year old harry to 26 year old harry. It actually makes me laugh…

‘And to the saying ‘I’ve piled on the pounds’ the answer is… yes I have, I went through a terrible eating disorder and I have worked so hard on myself to over come it over the years, and honestly… I think I look better then ever’.

In 2017, Harry shared an emotional post about the transformation his body has gone through, revealing he weighed just seven stone at one point.

In a lengthy message, Harry explained: ‘My journey with an eating disorder was a struggle and I know I’m not a muscle pump up pete now but where I am right now I have never felt and looked better in myself.

‘The image on the left aged 16 I was 7 stone and very unhealthy and could go a day without eating, I also had a fear of food which can be diagnosed as a ‘food phobia’.

Harry was involved in a lot of drama on TOWIE last year following his split from Joe Blackman.
