The secret behind Sharon's voluptuous pout was revealed by her expert facialist, Dr Zara Nortley. A regular at her Manchester clinic, Sharon has likely been getting the “Signature Lips” package, described as a bespoke treatment to target exactly what the client is looking for and costing upwards of £180.

Tuesday night's episode sparked a divided reaction from viewers after Islander Hugo Hammond admitted in a game that his major turn off is girls with "fake" looks and personalities.

Whilst Hugo's preferences for natural beauty and sincerity are valid desires, unimpressed Islanders Faye Winter and Sharon, who have both been open about their choice to undergo cosmetic procedures to enhance their looks, left Hugo in tears as they criticised his opinion.

"Get educated as to why girls get work done," Faye explained, whilst a hurt Sharon branded Hugo as "ignorant" for failing to realise that "girls do it to boost their confidence".

Fans on Twitter were quick to comment on the Islanders' spat, with many branding Sharon and Faye's anger as "unfair" on Hugo, who lives with a disability.

Hugo was later praised by fans who felt he not only apologised graciously, but "actually tried to listen to them, not gaslight or invalidate how they feel."
