A former dancer warned people watching ITV's This Morning not to be tempted to inject your bottom with silicone to make it enormous. Frankly, it had never occurred to us, but after hearing how Vanity Wonder spent nearly £10,000 making her bum unsightly, we're sorely tempted. Surely doughnuts would have done the trick though?

Vanity spoke frankly about the dodgy back-street bum implant industry. Who knew? Not us – and don't we feel foolish?

Apparently the injections are painful, expensive and make your botty much bigger than it should be. But what about the down sides? Does it also make you look like a cartoon character? Thumbs up to that too!

"It feels like lightning. It's a pain that seizes up your leg," she said. And it leaks. Nope, this is one vice we're still not ready for.

It's hard to imagine what could tempt you to disfigure yourself like that. Vanity explained that all her friends were doing it. The appeal is to get the 'bootylicious' figure of Beyoncé or Kim Kardashian. Unfortunately she got the 'whaleylicious' figure of Moby Dick. So close.

Vanity – the clue's in the name, we suppose – became so addicted to the injections that she carried on even after getting infected. And when her rear end resembled a bag of golf balls, she had more shots to fill it out. It was like a drug without the highs. And as we all know, we shouldn't do drugs. Especially without the highs.

Now she's on the campaign trail to warn people not to do something completely stupid and illegal that costs a fortune and makes you look ridiculous. All we can do is thank her. Oh and maybe buy her book.
