Corr: I have no interest in getting botox

Pop beauty Sharon Corr has revealed she has no interest in getting botox just because she has become a TV talent show judge.

X Factor guru Simon Cowell confessed to having his frown lines ironed out, while Louis Walsh admitted to getting facial work carried out to help deal with the microscopic effect of high definition TV.

Ireland’s Dr Botox, Dr Danielle Meagher, prompted a flurry of outrage when she commented that the Dundalk star had lost volume on her face and needed fillers and botox after her debut as a judge on The Voice.

But Ms Corr told the Ray D’Arcy Show she wasn’t perturbed by the criticism of her famous good looks.

“I’ve definitely lost volume on my face but that happens as you get older but I do not give a damn. It didn’t offend me. It’s neither here nor there for me, my focus is on music. I’m in my 40s and I feel I’m doing OK. I really don’t care.”

She said she finds the effect of the cosmetic procedure can leave famous faces looking peculiar.

“I need expressions because then people understand me like the rest of us. It actually is bizarre, I was watching Desperate Housewives and I was looking at Bree going ‘what’s going on there?’. The other really weird one is Meg Ryan who had the best facial expressions ever and now they have disappeared.”

But the mother-of-two said she would be slow to criticise other stars for resorting to the age-defying injections to hold back time.

“I wouldn’t think it is a ridiculous thing to do. I understand the pressures of wanting to look like you did.

“My priorities are my kids and my music. My priority is not really if my forehead is moving. I don’t want to criticise it in any way because I do understand the pressure of the industry.

“It’s not for me right now, but I wouldn’t rule it out. God knows in a year’s time I may be feeling ‘God you are looking rough babe, you need to do something about it’.”

Ms Corr also spoke about the extraordinary effect her fellow judge, Bressie, has on the nation’s women.

“I posted a picture of Bressie where he had pulled his tracksuit bottoms up to a kind of Simon Cowell look and he had these mad looking socks and a turban on. I posted it and said ‘Now girls do you like him now?’ They still kept coming in saying ‘Still, I would’.”

The 41-year-old said she is relishing her solo career after being part of one of the biggest family bands in the world for almost two decades.

“It is so much bigger and very different for me in a way. I have a solo career running for about four years.

“When the Corrs were together there were four of us with one identity. You don’t get individually exposed as much. Now with the TV show they know definitely which one I am. I am in this business on my own and separately, which is a really positive thing for me.”
