Katrina Lee Before And After Pictures, Katrina Lee 23, had laser surgery on her face, liposuction, dental work and hired a personal trainer to lose two stone to make it past the initial auditions this summer.
Five years ago, the Belfast-born shop worker was told by pop mogul Simon Cowell that he wished he could put her voice 'in someone else's body'.

'I came face-to -face with Simon Cowell and told him that his comments had nearly wrecked my life. He told me, "That's not a nice thing I said".
