The 22-year-old aesthetics practitioner was forced to take matters into her own hands because there was no one else available, but she has admitted it was a "horrible" experience.

She told OK! magazine: "The other day I did do my own Botox because no one was available.

"It was horrible but I had to do it, you can’t have wrinkles on telly."

While Jess is no stranger to the odd enhancement, the Islander insists she doesn't do anything "extreme" to her body.

She said: "I do have a little bit of Botox and filler. I just got it because when it’s your job it’s quite easy to just say, ‘Go on then.’

"A lot of the practitioners work together. I’ve had so many of my practitioner friends come to me, like, ‘Babe, can you just put it in my face?’

"To us it’s nothing, and people are spending hundreds and thousands."

However, Jess is afraid of needles.

She added: "It’s easily influenced but I’m quite scared of needles, considering it’s my job."

Jess is currently coupled up Sammy Root in the villa, after he entered the ITV2 dating show as a bombshell last week.

Prior to entering the villa, Jess insisted she is a "really good girlfriend".

She said: "I think I’ve got quite a big personality and I’ve got a heart of gold.

"I can stand up for myself if I need to. I’m honest, and I love, love. I’m also a really good girlfriend."

'Love Island' continues tomorrow at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player, proudly sponsored by Virgin Media Mobile.

The reality show can also be seen on ITV2.
