At the height of her career in the early Noughties Alicia- whose real name is Sarah Howes – was known for her string of celebrity boyfriends and her constant cycle of cosmetic surgeries
Former glamour model and Celebrity Big Brother (CBB) star Alicia Douvall has announced her engagement following a romantic getaway to the Maldives with her boyfriend David Anstiss, she revealed on Thursday.
In the early Noughties Alicia- whose real name is Sarah Howes – was known for her string of celebrity boyfriends and her constant cycle of cosmetic surgeries. The star competed on the fifteenth series of CBB in 2015 which was aired on Channel 5. She was the second housemate to be evicted on day 17, after receiving the fewest votes from the public.
At the height of her fame Alicia enjoyed romances and did subsequent kiss and tell stories with the likes of Simon Cowell, Mick Hucknall, P Diddy, Mickey Rourke, and Dean Gaffney. But she seems happier than ever with her now soon-to-be husband David Anstiss.

Alicia first went public with her relationship with David, who is the director of Solution Engineering, on Valentine’s Day this year by sharing a series of romantic snaps online. Just two months later they have taken their relationship to the next level.
On Thursday, April 17 the 45-year-old, took to Instagram to share the wonderful news with her followers. They looked smitten as they posed for pictures in their hotel room, shortly after he popped the big question. In the hotel room a line of red rose petals culd be seen leading to a bed strewn with more petals and a message that read: ‘She said yes’.
Alicia looked beautiful in a black dress for the occasion while placing her ring-clad on her husband-to-be’s shoulder. In another snap, Alicia gave a closer look at her ring, holding up her manicured hand while the Indian Ocean was seen behind.
Her fans took to the comments to offer their congratulations to the happy couple. One follower wrote: “That ring is a STUNNER! HUGE congratulations! Such lovely news!” While another wrote: “Congratulations! Such beautiful and wonderful news, you deserve this happiness.”
Alicia has had more than 400 cosmetic procedures totalling to a self-estimated £1 million, but the former glamour model has had a jaw-dropping metamorphosis in recent years.
After 18 boob jobs, 11 nose tweaks, bum implants and even having her ribs shaved down Alicia gave up going under the knife and over the past decade has built a successful skincare brand, centered around the ethos of natural anti-aging. And all here hard work has paid off with the brand stocked in the likes of Sephora, and Superdrug in the UK and Walmart in the US.
