Streaming on Netflix from today (March 17), the show follows a group of social media personalities as they compete for a shiny £1 million prize pot. They are placed under one roof for seven days and must compete in various challenges to dodge the dreaded evictions. To raise the stakes even higher, every decision that the competitors make can deduct money from the final prize. This includes how much money they spend on luxury items such as coffee and tea, which can be priced at hundreds of pounds. Influencer Mandi Vakili is among the stars vying for the million-pound prize, but who is the 33-year-old content creator? Who is Mandi Vakili?

Mandi became well known when her older sister Anna starred in the 2019 summer series of Love Island. The siblings have been pictured partying with US influencer Dan Bilzerian in the past. After leaving the ITV2 show, Anna launched a podcast alongside Mandi called Sisters in the City, in which they chat about their experiences as young women living in London. Although she is often mentioned alongside her sibling, Mandi has set out to carve a name for herself in the industry. Ahead of entering the Sidemen’s reality show, she said: “I was best known for being Anna’s sister from Love Island, but after this show she’s gonna be known for being Mandi Vakili’s sister from Sidemen Inside.” Surgery confession

Mandi has opened up about the surgeries she has undergone and admitted that they ‘ruined’ her body. In a candid conversation with Anna, 34, on the Sisters in the City Podcast, she revealed that she has had multiple BBLs, breast lifts and breast implants in the UK and abroad. The influencer confessed that she continued to get more procedures done after her first surgeries left her body looking ‘botched.’ Anna has similarly had multiple cosmetic surgeries that have left her needing even more surgery in order to ‘fix’ the errors. In the honest chat, Mandi said: “Do you know what someone said to me at the very beginning, when we started getting surgery? [They said]: ‘The more surgery you get, the more surgery you get.’ “Why is that? Because the more surgery you get the more you’re gonna need to fix and undo all them previous f***** surgeries. Oh my god if I could just only turn back time.” The soon-to-be Netflix star went on to admit: “I ruined myself,” and later added: “I have actually destroyed myself to the point where now I can’t even walk around in a bikini without thinking everyone around me is looking at these massive, sticking out, keloid scars. “I can’t even sunbathe on my chest because I’ve got these massive scars, dark, black, sticking out.” The sisters went on to encourage other young people to think carefully before undergoing cosmetic procedures. Inside is streaming on Netflix now.
