Jeremy McConnell has flown to Poland for an emergency Danniella Westbrook-style nose job after years of cocaine abuse.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star, who was recently released from prison after being sent down for assaulting his ex Stephanie Davis , was pictured with his face bandaged up after having the procedure to repair his septum following historic use of the Class-A drug.
The picture, exclusively obtained by Mirror Online, was shared on Snapchat by one of his friends, but deleted within seconds.
The Irish model's pal made a joke about his face as he captioned the pic: "When ur mates gets lippy over who paid for the packet of Monster Munch in Centra" [sic]

A source close to the tattooed star, who's been dubbed a deadbeat dad, told us: "It was due to years of abuse of alcohol and other substances. It's to repair his septum.
"He really is the male version of Danniella Westbrook."
Former EastEnders star Danniella had to have her nose repaired after her septum disintegrated after heavy cocaine abuse.
She was infamously pictured leaving the Soap Awards in 2000 with what looked like one big nostril.
And it's understood that Jeremy, 27, has undergone a similar procedure that Danniella did in order to avoid the same thing happening to his nose.
Ex-coke addict Jeremy has previously opened up about using the drug to another newspaper.
Mirror Online has contacted Jeremy's representatives for comment.

It comes after Jeremy, who shares son Caben-Albi with former Hollyoaks star Stephanie, stooped to paying a Page 3 model to pretend to be his girlfriend.
A source close to the shamed Irish model exclusively told Mirror Online how Charlotte Huntley, 20 - pictured with Jez this week on a supposedly loved-up date to an ice-cream parlour - was PAID by Jez to act like his new love.
"He knows his name is slowly erasing from people's minds so a friend of a friend asked Charlotte if she wanted some publicity and she jumped at the chance," said the insider. "They both believe any publicity is good publicity."
Jeremy forked out just £30 and threw in a free ice-cream to get Charlotte to sign up and be papped with him in Manchester.

"His friends are concerned at the lengths he's going to get attention - the first dates, dog walks in the park, rolling sushi... who knows what's next?
"It was only last week he set up pictures of him out walking with a different girl as his screensaver.
"He is desperate to get his name back out there, even dropping his pants in public.
"He's done the deal now with Charlotte, got them both publicity and now he's back in Dublin where he plans to spend his time working out how to make money moving forward as his debts are mounting since coming out of prison," the pal added.
Jeremy's rep denied the claims and insisted Jeremy had not paid Charlotte to hang out with him.
