CELEBRITY NEWS --Social worker, 25, whose teeth were so brown she hated smiling shows off the glistening results of £25,000 makeover after winning online competition

The uber-tanned and artificially enhanced cast of scripted reality show The Only Way Is Essex have made false nails, glue-on eyelashes and fake tan their own.
And one woman is over the moon after winning a competition for a £25,000 dream Essex makeover to transform her looks with the help of the star's favourite team of experts.
Eleasha Newberry, 25, was the winner of Dream Makeover Essex, a free competition giving people a chance to win- what they dubbed a 'unique life changing opportunity of a fabulous top-to-toe Dream Makeover worth up to £25,000.'Dream makeover: Eleasha Newbury won a dream makeover worth up to £25,000 which has transformed her confidence
Eleasha, from Chatham, Kent, found the competition through a Google search when she was, coincidentally, searching for ways to fix her poor smile and dark teeth.
Eleasha, who lives at home with her mother and younger sister, damaged the nerves in her two front teeth on a fairground ride when she was young.
'I have always been very aware of my dark teeth and hold my hand over my mouth when I smile,' she said.
Eleasha's prize included a total makeover featuring cosmetic dentistry, laser eye surgery, facial aesthetics and facials to reveal younger looking skin.
The personal training and fitness sessions, beauty therapy and grooming treatments, hair and fashion advice she won rivalled the rigorous maintenance regimes of the TOWIE stars.

Her entry took its place alongside over 2,000 email enquiries and was short listed to the last 32.
Eleasha said: 'I was stunned when I heard I was a winner. It feels like I am in some sort of dream!
'When I heard the first thing I did was ring my mum. I am still emotional and overwhelmed that I was considered good enough to be a winner.'

Eleasha has been wearing glasses and later contact lens since infant school.
Her vision was quite bad and without her glasses she couldn’t even see the very top letter on the optician’s chart but she now has 20-20 vision and has ditched her glasses forever.
The poor smile that got her down and made her depressed has been replaced by gleaming white teeth.
Eleasha said: 'I was embarrassed about my smile but that’s all changing and in any case I am smiling inside about it all.'
She has been filmed during her Dream Makeover Essex journey as her life changing story unfolds, as presented by Jeff Brazier.
And it seems that the very stars of TOWIE themselves are in agreement about how great her new look is.

TOWIE matriarch Nanny Pat said: 'Dream Makeover Essex is the next best thing since TOWIE. A £25k makeover, who wouldn’t want to win that?'

ames Argent added: 'I am so happy and confident since having my veneers fitted and they look so natural, everyone comments.
'I am happy to promote this competition because the chance to win a makeover and feed as confident is great.'
Eleasha, who has worked as a housing support worker for three years helping people with mental health issues to manage their lives as independently as possible, now has dreams to take an Open University Degree in English Literature and get her qualification.
She said: 'My relationships have been challenging but with my new look and feel I think that will change too.
'I can’t wait as I know it really will change my life.'
