A plastic surgery addict dubbed ‘Britain’s vainest man’ who splashed £55,000 on procedures has revealed plans to spend even more because he hates the way he looks.
TOWIE super fan Sam Barton, 25, has spent tens of thousands on emulating his idol, Joey Essex, in a string of operations — including one on the NHS.
Sam, from Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, claims he battled body dysmorphia which has led to him altering his image in a bid to look like ‘the perfect man’.
The celebrity wannabe is now set to go under the knife to have a nose job, hair loss treatment and filler for his lips, cheeks and jaw.
Is this Britain’s vainest man? TOWIE super fan Sam Barton, 25, has spent tens of thousands on emulating his idol, Joey Essex, in a string of operations — including one on the NHS
All in the name of beauty: Despite already splashing £55,000 on procedures, Sam has revealed plans to spend even more because he hates the way he looks
He is currently halfway through the £20,000 treatment, which is being done by the Aesthetica Medispa skin clinic in Birmingham.
He also plans to have surgery on his abs to create a fake six-pack after he initially cancelled the procedure in Brussels in March last year following the terror attacks.
Sam said: ‘I am never happy with the way I look and this is down to my body dysmorphia.
‘I’m having work to hopefully erase the stigma attached to me, I hate who I have become and how I look.
‘I want to be unrecognisable. I want to be me now and not base my image on someone else like Joey Essex.

‘I want people to say I look amazing. I will be spending around £20,000 on the treatment in total and I am half way through it.

Sam first hit the headlines after revealing he had a free nose job on the NHS.
He is the grandson of Tony Barton, Aston Villa’s European Cup winning manager, later applied for free botox treatment for life to combat anxiety from his ‘new-found fame’.
