A woman born with a conjoined twin attached to her bum was left with a deformity that has now been fixed thanks to a TV show.
Addie, 35, has revealed that she had 'never had an intimate relationship' due to the scarring.
She appeared on a show called Botched By Nature, where she was introduced to Dr. Dubrow and Dr. Nassif, who hoped to fix her problem.

Her mum spoke about how she didn't know Addie was a conjoined twin until she was born. She said: "I had an ultrasound and they didn't see it. They just saw the one, healthy baby.
"They told me that it was a Siamese twin. But I never got to see it because they always kept it wrapped. They wouldn't let me see it."
Addie also told the doctors about how her confidence had been knocked over the years. She explained: "When I got dressed for PE, the girls knew it. They noticed me. They started teasing me and started calling me hurtful names.
"The reason I'm so shy is because the bullying caused me to isolate myself from everyone. I didn't want to get hurt anymore.

"I've never really had a social life and when I dated it was more like a friendship. It was never an intimate relationship."

Luckily, the doctors managed to fix the condition and Addie was thrilled with the results.

She said: "My condition held me back with dating, getting married and having children. But by having surgery I've put that all behind me and I finally feel good about myself and I want to celebrate that with my friends and family."
You can watch Botched By Nature on Tuesdays at 9pm in the UK on E!
