Pete Burns has spoken up about his fixation with plastic surgery, confessing that he’s had over 300 operations to correct failed procedures over the years – and that he still adores his appearance.

Over the previous two decades, the You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) singer has had several procedures, including four nose jobs, two sets of cheekbone implants, and lip plumping.

Following one reconstructive procedure, the 57-year-old Dead Or Alive singer from Wirral, Merseyside, came close to death.

However, the actor, who has been compared to Frankenstein’s monster, has pledged to never stop undergoing plastic surgery in his quest for physical perfection.

‘The number of surgeries I’ve has is probably 300. I hope when I’m 80 and I get to heaven God doesn’t recognise me,’ the former CBB contestant said on the show.

He claims his preoccupation with altering his appearance began when his single You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) was storming up the charts over 20 years ago.

He explained, “I realised I was going to be a visual entity and that I had to look good.’

‘I had a broken nose. In the punk days somebody head butted me in Liverpool and it went over to one side.’

“When you’re young, self-conscious and standing in front of a camera and the photographers are whispering, ‘Can we turn his head to the left?’ you think, ‘I’ll do something about it’.”

Pete awoke ‘covered in blood’ after the procedure, but that didn’t stop him from having dozens more operations to ‘correct his face.’

The next reconstructive surgery was the first of dozens of corrective procedures, which included four nose jobs, two sets of cheekbone implants, and lip plumping.

His lip augmentation, on the other hand, went horribly wrong, with the filler injected into his pout spilling all over his face.

“There were tubes up my nose. He’d removed most of my nose and there was just two nostrils and a little bit of bone in the middle. I nearly fainted.”

Pete was scheduled to appear on Top Of The Pops with his band, so he decided to wear an eye patch to conceal the crooked side of his nose.

Pete had to have further surgery to correct it, and that was only the first of “probably 300″ procedures.

“The amount of surgeries I’ve had are absolutely minimal compared to the reconstructive surgeries I’ve had. Probably 300.”

Pete also recounted a moment when he was on stage with the Scissor Sisters and realized something was awry with his bottom lip, which he had filled with filler at the time.

After that, he returned to the surgeon to have the extra fluid evacuated.

“At least a pint and a half of yellow steaming fluid was vomited out of the lip.”

“He held me down on the operating table and punched two syringes in,” he revealed.

“At least a pint and a half of yellow steaming fluid was vomited out of the lip.”

Pete’s lips continued to swell, forcing him to drain them.

His lip augmentation, on the other hand, went horribly wrong, with the filler injected into his pout spilling all over his face.

He recalled: ‘I started to develop holes in my skin and if I so much as touched my face there would be an audible hissing and out onto the mirror would vomit this yellow fluid.’

Pete then sued the plastic surgeon for £450k and underwent 200 procedures in two years to correct the condition.

He spent the money to get the filler taken out.

“I’ve had a major operation a week for two years to remove it from my cheeks where it had migrated, my Adam’s apple, the back of my eyes…” he said.

“They couldn’t do anything about the liver and the kidneys. I had to excrete that out.”

The surgeon could finally begin restoring Pete’s dead lips after 200 reconstructive surgery to remove all of the terrifying filler.

“I had a piece taken out of my stomach to make a lower lip and then a piece taken out of my stomach to make an upper lip shape,” he explained.

“I was clinically depressed. Two years is a long time out of your life.”

Pete’s lips were fixed, but his body was suffering from the massive doses of medication he was taking.

‘I developed blood clots and pulmonary embolisms in my legs, heart and lungs,’ he explained.

‘I got these black marks on my skin and I thought they were bruises. The next thing my driver came in and I was unconscious, not breathing.’

He was rushed to the hospital, where he was informed he had a 2% chance of surviving.

The celebrity was put on blood thinners, and doctors were able to rescue him after ten days.

“With the blood thinners if I so much as scratched the surface of my skin I couldn’t stop bleeding,” he said.

“They also cause osteoporosis, tooth loss, spinal damage and stuff like that.”

Pete’s teeth began to rot after his stay in the hospital, and he received veneers to conceal the condition.

“What I’m trying to achieve with my surgery is my own personal satisfaction. It’s narcissism at its extreme,” he said.
