“I think going on the show is a bit of a sore spot for [my ex],” she says. “I don’t think he’s made his peace yet that I chose to end our relationship. It was me who called it quits in the end and I don’t think he’s totally moved on from that, which is a shame.”
But headstrong Susie refuses to let her ex’s disapproval faze her. “That relationship took 10 years of my life, and I’m not going to spend another second on it,” she says.
The nurse has far more important things on her mind, like her 3-year-old daughter, Baby, who she had in her early 20s.
“Me being a naive 20-year-old, my pregnancy wasn’t planned and it’s something I feel very strongly about,” she tells New Idea.
Susie admits she struggled with her self-esteem after giving birth at a young age and turned to plastic surgery.
“I breastfed, so I lost my little boobies,” she says. “That’s why I went and got myself some new ones. That was the best decision I ever made for my self-confidence. I’ve [also] had my lips done – I had no top lip – and some anti-wrinkle [Botox], but that’s it. I think anyone should do whatever they want if it makes them feel good about themselves.”
