On whether her sessions were working, she said: "I’ve had 20 sessions and I’m already starting to feel ditzy and confused all the time."

"Recently I went to pick a friend up at the airport and couldn't remember if I needed to go to departures or arrivals. I also got lost for three hours driving to my mum's house - the house where I grew up."

When asked about why she wanted to look like Barbie, she replied: "Who wouldn’t want to be [her]? She has the best life. All she does is shop and make herself look pretty – she doesn’t worry about anything."

However, her friends aren't so keen on her look and have told her to tone the dressing-up down. She said: "People thought it was just a phase but I thought to myself, 'As soon as I move out of home, I’m going to turn myself into Barbie'."
