A sports presenter, Jacquie Beltrao, has revealed that she had undergone a facelift in December 2018, in a bid to save her television career.
Jacquie, who had battled breast cancer and had a mastectomy, said she felt better about seeing herself on the screen after the surgery, reports Daily Mail.
She, however, admitted that she felt pressured to maintain a youthful appearance in her TV career, in contrast to the “old, fat, grey, wrinkly” male presenters who are “always going to have a job”.
Jacquie also revealed that she wanted to celebrate five years of being cancer-free.
Inspired by fellow TV stars, who have taken the plunge, Jacquie underwent the six-hour procedure in December to mark the “special occasion”. The surgery cost, £11,000 (N5.2m)
The sports presenter and model also claimed that her chemotherapy treatment had aged her appearance.
Jaqcuie said, “My first day back at work was just before Christmas, I felt great. I am more confident and what I wanted to have done has definitely been achieved – I feel great and it really freshened up my face.
