Former Page 3 model Rhian Sugden confidently displayed her stunning figure in a provocative black lingerie set during a recent photoshoot, sharing the sizzling behind-the-scenes snapshot on her Instagram account this Thursday. The television personality, aged thirty-nine, looked absolutely incredible while modelling a luxurious velvet and mesh triangle top paired with matching high-rise bottoms, striking a sultry pose from a brown leather armchair.
Embracing Confidence After Surgical Procedure
Styling her dark tresses loosely around her shoulders, Rhian accessorised the ensemble with a chunky gold hoop choker and complementary drop earrings, captioning the image simply with 'Shoot day'. This glamorous display comes after the Celebrity Big Brother star underwent significant breast reduction surgery last year, reducing her bust size dramatically from a 32HH cup to a more manageable 32E cup.
Transformation Journey and Personal Revelation
Rhian has since hailed this surgical decision as one of the best she has ever made, expressing that she now feels more confident and self-assured than ever before. The model revealed that she chose to undergo the reduction procedure primarily because her naturally large breasts had begun making simple activities like walking completely unbearable, while also causing her intense and persistent back pain that affected her daily life.
Taking to Instagram at the time of her recovery, Rhian courageously shared three revealing topless photographs documenting her transformation journey—showing her appearance before the surgery, then two weeks post-operation, and finally several weeks after the procedure. Alongside these comparative images, she wrote candidly: 'From sagging to bragging. Swipe for before and after. These are the results from my breast reduction and uplift @pallmallcosmetics no implant, all still natural. Just lifted and reduced.'
Addressing Criticism and Fan Reactions
The television personality further elaborated that she is now four sizes smaller while maintaining what she describes as 'kept on the larger side', and noted that her surgical scarring has been fading remarkably well. However, Rhian explained that her decision to alleviate constant physical pain has unfortunately triggered a wave of backlash from certain segments of her fanbase, with some critics moaning that she was making the worst mistake of her life.
Rhian Sugden originally rose to fame back in 2006 as a Page 3 model when she was just nineteen years old, quickly amassing an enormous fanbase and securing numerous lucrative deals throughout her career—including a substantial £100,000 payday for her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012. She has suggested that her modelling career has led some fans to develop a sense of ownership over her body, particularly because they have spent money purchasing her magazines and subscribing to her exclusive OnlyFans content over the years.
Continuing Career and Recent Endeavours
This latest photoshoot follows another glamorous appearance last month where Rhian showed off her incredible figure in sexy lace lingerie while modelling for the Ann Summers brand. During that session, she looked absolutely amazing in a vibrant red two-piece ensemble while beaming happily for the camera, posing for more sizzling Instagram snaps that she shared with her followers.
Alongside those images, Rhian wrote playfully: 'Here’s a bit of cheese to go with all the wine I’ve been drinking. Ann Summers gifting the goods again', demonstrating her continued engagement with fashion and modelling despite the personal changes she has undergone. The former model's journey highlights both the physical and emotional aspects of cosmetic surgery decisions among public figures, balancing personal health needs with public perception and career considerations in the spotlight.
