14 DAY TRIAL // Former X Factor contestant and subject to much speculation Chloe Victoria, aka Chloe Mafia, is unrecognizable in the latest issue of Now magazine after being stripped of her fake tan, extensions and bad makeup.
Fans of the show know that Chloe was eventually booted from X Factor – but not before her case caused some ruckus after allegations of being an escort emerged in the media.
Aside from speculation that she used her stint on the show to up her rates online and the videos of her doing drugs, Chloe also got a lot of attention for her unique (for lack of a better word) style.
Since her first audition, the 19-year-old mother of one shocked with her orange fake tan, tons of makeup, fake eyelashes, hair extensions and skimpy clothes.
The latest edition of Now magazine shows Chloe like she’s never been seen before: no tan, natural hair and minimal makeup, complete with a very stylish dress.
As per Unreality TV, the magazine also brings an interview with the controversial aspiring singer, in which she says not even a fraction of the stories that have been printed about her are true.
For instance, she denies claims that she works as an escort – but admits that people often misjudge her because of her clothes.
“I know sometimes the way I dress I’m asking for it, but at the same time, people have sold stories on me saying serious things,” she says.
“I recently saw in the paper Simon Cowell said he wants bad girls on the show. I thought it was funny to be honest but then my mum said, ‘If you think about it they’re really just using you now, you’re not in it any more’,” she adds.
Chloe once said that it takes her at least 3 hours for her to get ready to go out, regardless of whether she’s going to take the trash out or clubbing – so it’s no wonder she’s shocked about the transformation.
“It’s amazing! It doesn’t even look like me – in a good way! That’s proper mad, innit. I can’t believe it,” she tells Now after seeing the photos of her makeunder.
‘I spend loads on make-up – I buy more every day, so it adds up,” she adds. No word yet on whether she plans of keeping the new look or if she’ll go back to her former (very fake) image.
