In the post, shared on her Instagram story with her 169,400 followers, Clelia explained she “hated” her boobs as a teenager.
When she was asked by a fan if she has ever had surgery on her boobs, Clelia said: “Ok this comes around a lot! I had a reduction when I was 19 (right after this pic was taken) It was the best thing I've ever done!”
She was then asked by another follower why she decided to have her breasts reduced.
Clelia then explained she “hated” her boobs as a teen and found having them as “torture”.
She said: “I hated my boobs. So many girls would be shocked that I did but when you can't buy pretty bras, any sort of trendy bikini or tops/ dresses that will fit them it's torture.”
Brunette beauty Clelia, who recently defended influencers jetting off, added that the cost of her procedure was a hefty sum, but it was money well spent.
She said: “Also I had terrible neck pain which lead to constant headaches. It wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny… being able to wear what I want now.”
Clelia also revealed her boobs before surgery were a size 32GG and promised fans a further question and answer session on breast reductions soon.
During the question and answer session, Clelia also opened up on her most difficult time on The Only Way Is Essex.
When asked by a fan what the most challenging thing she went through on the ITVBe show was, she revealed: “For sure going through a break up outside of the show was the hardest because you want to be normal, be yourself, be happy with your friends at your job but it’s next to impossible when you’re feeling that way.
“I thought it was best to show what I was going through.”
Clelia split from her boyfriend, who’s identity she kept a secret, in 2019.

Speaking at the time, Clelia revealed she lost two stone after the break-up.
She told The Sun Online: “I've lost a lot of weight and it's been commented on and sent to me on social media.
“Personal messages and comments from trolls all the time, constantly I get messages saying, ‘You looked so much better before. You're disgusting now. You're so skinny now,’ and stuff like that and I understand it because I did look better before.
“It's horrible because it's like telling someone they’re overweight.”
She added: “But it's only been about three weeks where I've been able to eat again and get myself back to normal but I look 100 times better than what I looked like a few months ago. I dropped down to six stone, I was very gaunt, my mum was beside herself, it was awful and it wasn't on purpose.”
