Last year, Tilly, 22, revealed she was left with permanent scarring and temporary blindness after tattooing freckles on her face, using a sewing needle and tattoo ink she bought online.
Tilly was on Big Brother when fans asked why she was wearing a blue clay facemask on the show, and she took to Instagram to explain.
She wrote: “For those asking why I have my blue clay face mask on continuously throughout the show this is what my face looked like a week prior to entering the house, hence why I always have makeup on and my skin is always covered.
“This is the result of attempting to remove scarring I inflicted on myself trying to replicate an at home beauty procedure I saw on a TikTok video two months before Big Brother.”
Tilly has spent over £8,500 to find a solution but is still left with permanent scarring across her cheeks as she showed in a recent TikTok video.
She said: “This is to anyone thinking of getting freckles tattooed on their face.
“Don’t.”
While most people would be put off getting inked again, Tilly has now revealed on TikTok that she has been getting her lips tattooed.

The procedure is called Lip Blush, where they ink colour across the whole lip to give it a permanent tint.
The colour tends to last for two to three years, but fans were shocked Tilly decided to get inked again.
One user wrote: “You’re seriously doing this after the freckles girl no.”
“You did not have enough with the freckles?!?” Exclaimed another user.
Another person commented: “You didn’t learn from the fake freckles?”
Thanks to social media, many people started giving themselves semi-permanent freckles by using tattoo ink and a sewing needle.
Tilly copied the trend and bought ink, but unbeknown to her, the ink contained high levels of lead.

She added: “I ended up in hospital with temporary loss of vision in my eye due to swelling and was very sick from the infection, not to mention my face was somewhat unrecognisable. Leave it to the professionals.”
This time, Tilly has gone to a professional for her Lip Blush procedure, rather than attempting it at home.
