"I have had Botox once or twice but that only lasts a few months," she said. "I would never enhance my lips, or change anything on my face. I was born with this face and that’s the way it’s meant to be."

The 35-year-old had surgery after her nose collapsed due to cocaine use when she was younger - but she insists it was a one-off.

"I’ve just had a new nose put on. I don’t want to go under the knife for any other reason," she said.

"I’m not vain enough to have anything done merely for beauty’s sake. I’m not Kate Moss where her looks are everything. I’m more of a personality than an oil painting."

Tara’s sweaty performance - Mar 6 2007
Tara Palmer Tomkinson didn’t look quite so glamorous on Saturday when she gave a rather sweaty performance on Fame Academy.

TV viewers and fans left concerned messages on Yahoo after the It Girl appeared to melt on stage as she sang Sir Elton John’s I’m Still Standing.

One fan wrote: "I saw her tonight on Fame Academy and I have to say that she looked very, very scary! She has a really lovely body but what was going on upstairs?"

One viewer said it looked as though the 35-year-old reality TV star had "rubbed vaseline all over her face" before she went on stage.

Despite the sweat problem, brunette socialite Tara was saved by the public vote in Saturday’s show.

Comic Rowland Rivron was axed after failing to impress with his rendition of Stand By Your Man.

Robbie and Tara still an item? - Jan 8 2007
It seems socialite Tara PT and pop prince Robbie Williams have "chemistry" after their 10-day fling last year.

The 35-year-old told The Daily Mirror: "There’s still chemistry between me and Robbie. Robbie texts me all the time now. I’ve known him for three years and we are still close.

"Robbie has to share himself with millions of people and I’m lucky he’s got time for me."

Whilst the It girl refused to say whether they were together, pals admit the couple are "close".

A source added: "Whenever she’s in LA, they meet up and spend a night together at his house. And Robbie always make sure he comes to see Tara when he’s in the UK."

Tara, whose previous boyfriends include jewellery heir Pascal Mouawad, added the singer is in a "happy place".

She explained: "He’s told me he’s over the stress now. People have a go at him for being ratty but it’s no wonder because he’s always surrounded by so many people wanting a piece of him."

Tara joins the skinny debate - Sept 22, 2020
Socialite Tara Palmer Tomkinson has joined the debate about whether Britain’s models are too skinny.

The size 0 epidemic, which started a couple years ago in LA, is sweeping across water to the UK.

Waif-thin Hollywood icons like Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Kate Bosworth - who fluctuate between size 0 and 00 (UK size 2) - are the new pinup girls of trend-setting magazines and the public are crying out for magazines and designers to use larger models.

As London Fashion Week reaches a climax, Tara says: "I’ve seen some fabulous shows. I think there’s a lot of hype about nothing about these girls being a size 0 and stuff... I think they all look completely healthy, completely beautiful.

"I think everyone’s getting a bit over-dramatic as usual."
