Celebrity Traitors star Cat Burns undergoes breast reduction surgery

Celebrity Traitors star Cat Burns has undergone breast reduction surgery after years of suffering from 'pain' and battling with 'over-sexualisation.' 

The singer, 25, explained how she now hopes to 'love her body' going forward as she shared an update to her Instagram Story on Wednesday.  

Sharing a photo of herself while she recovered in hospital, Cat laid in bed and wrote a lengthy caption. 

She said: 'I was going back and forth on whether I was gonna share this but I know I've built an understanding community of people!

'I've just come out of my breast reduction surgery! had a big fat cry once I saw mum sisty and Sarah. (Joyful tears btw the amount of relief and happiness I feel is overwhelming)

'I've always struggled with my boobies since they arrived on my chest at like 12, they caused me so much pain when exercising and I deeply hated the over-sexualisation it brought.'

Cat continued: 'I tried so many different ways to work with my body and wear different bras etc but I thought while I'm young and healthy and by the universes grace am able to go this surgery I want to love my body going into the next part of my life! 

'Today marks the start of my new life! Surgery went really well I did affirmations before and after and I'm feeling ok! 

'Gonna watch Traitors now from my hospital bed and chill, love you all.'

It comes after Cat revealed the 'real reason' she was banished during the final roundtable of the series. 

The singer was the last woman standing in the finale episode as she and fellow Traitor Alan Carr battled it out to not be uncovered by their co-stars. 

But falling at the final hurdle, Cat was voted out and banished from the game in the final roundtable discussion of the series - before Alan, 49, was crowned winner. 

Appearing on BBC Breakfast, the star admitted how she felt she failed to make it to the final three because she was the only woman left in the game. 

Fans of the BBC One series had previously theorised that Cat being left as the only female would point towards her being a Traitor - as her co-stars would have predicted one of the female stars had been picked as a Traitor by host Claudia Winkleman. 

The BRIT Award-nominated singer said that had Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway not been banished, she may have stood a stronger chance. 

She explained: 'In hindsight, I think if we didn’t banish Kate before, I probably would have had a chance as there would have been two women left.  

'Then they could have been like, "Is it Cat, is it Kate?" Because Kate was gone, I was the last one left so then they were like: "It has to be her".'

During the show, there were no moments on screen that appeared to point to the Faithful stars, Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga, suspecting Cat as the last woman standing. 

Instead, Nick, 45, and co-stars Joe, 35, and David, 55, presented arguments including Cat being close to other Faithfuls, and playing 'double bluff' moves.
