He didn't want me to falsify myself!' Single Courtney Stodden flaunts bikini body

But the peroxide blonde insists former spouse and The Green Mile star Doug Hutchinson, 53, was NOT behind the look that has become her trademark ticket to notoriety.

And the Celebrity Big Brother star claims their difference of opinion when it came to being plastic fantastic was just one of the issues that drove a wedge between them.

Speaking of their recent separation, the 19-year-old denied he played a part in creating her image.

Courtney said: "He was not involved in that. Actually, it's one aspect of our relationship where we fought so much. He did not want me to get hair extensions, he fought tooth and nail.

"When I started to wear eyelashes, I was like a little girl, 'Can I wear eyelashes?'

"It was kind of like that. He did not want me to falsify myself."

The infamous duo agreed to take different paths following the reality star's appearance on CBB, calling it quits on their controversial romance just two and half years after saying 'I do'.

Flying to UK shores this summer to take part in the show – that saw Charlotte Crosby crowned winner – had been the first time Courtney had spent more than 24 hours away from Doug.

Chatting to E!, she said: "I was missing him, but not intimately. I couldn't neglect my desires of wanting my independence and freedom.

"I was definitely scared [to separate], but I think I felt more pressure to know that when we got married he lost his family, his manager, his agent put a pin in his career, his friends.

"I became his world. I felt there was a lot of weight on my shoulders."

She continued: "I got that it was unconventional, but I didn't get how weird and strange it came across [to the public].

"I am happy, and excited, a little girl again. When I was 16, I got my marriage license instead of my driver's license, come on!"

After admitting she had been under the knife for a boob job, as well as having lip injections, the teen bride shrugged off the fact that fans might objectify her sexually.

She said: "It doesn't bother me at all, I'm doing my own thing, I'm not ashamed of the way I look.

"I'm confident and happy, honestly that's all that matters."

Meanwhile, when quizzed on her new celeb crush, Courtney said Full House star John Stamos, 50.

Considering he divorced his model wife Rebecca Romijn back in 2005, could it be second time lucky for Court and her sugar daddy?
