Tara's neus stort in door de coke

The terrible toll cocaine has taken on Tara's face





Years of cocaine abuse appears to have finally caught up with Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, after shocking photographs revealed her once perfect nose to be on the brink of collapse.

Appearing at the Grazia Lifetime Achievement awards last night, guests were horrified to see a large dent on the bridge of her nose.

One guest said: "Tara was dressed up and looked terrific, but her nose was in a terrible state. I couldn't stop staring at it because it had such a strange indentation. It was the talk of the party."

Friends of the I'm A Celebrity star, who has been clean for more than six years, now fear her former £400-a-day drug habit may have left her scarred for life.

Tara has frequently spoken of the damage her past cocaine addiction has caused.

"I've given myself a nose job because of all the cocaine I shoved up it," she said. "My cartilage is gone. I just have fresh air."

And she revealed how her habit almost brought her to the brink of death. "I was a dead woman walking. I needed help, or I knew I was going to die.

"I would do more than five grams of coke a day. In the end, I didn't do lines - I did the whole lot as one. I threw the stuff in the air and sniffed clouds of it.

Following her bizarre appearance on the Frank Skinner Show, where she appeared dishevelled and disorientated, she checked herself into the famous Meadows Clinic in the US, saying: "It's a simple choice between life and death and I've chosen life."

Alex Karidis, a plastic surgeon who viewed the pictures, said: "It appears her nose is collapsing. It looks as if the lower part of Tara's nose, including the septum, has collapsed. The bridge has a slight bump too.

"The only way you get this kind of effect is by using cocaine quite heavily - or from boxing."

Unlike former EastEnder Danniella Westbrook, 32, who underwent the knife to correct the damage to her septum caused by cocaine abuse, Tara says she is afraid of surgery.

She said: "I don't like the hole in my nose, but an operation would hurt. I'm not a great believer in surgery. I think that behind the odd wrinkle or scar there is a good story to be told."

Tara's Nosy Trouble

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson recently admitted that her nose has deteriorated since she quit her cocaine habit in 1999.

The It Girl revealed that her cartilage had disappeared and has been replaced by "fresh air".

But, despite being such an honest celeb, Tara is now having to fight back against accusations that the damage is from recent drug abuse.

A spokesperson for the socialite said:

"She has been very open and honest about her drug problems and has gone out of her way to highlight the danger of drugs to others.

"Any suggestion that she has taken drugs recently is totally untrue and without foundation and will be met with legal action."

Tara revealed that she is considering reconstructive surgery to correct the damage to her nose. But she said: "I don't like the hole but an operation would hurt a lot."
