This was one of Herald Entertainment's most read stories in 2019.
She's been teasing fans for days about her new smile as she undergoes major dental work.
But new photos of former MAFS star Ines Basic have appeared on Instagram, leaving fans in complete disbelief.
The 28-year-old's new appearance wasrevealed as she posed for a photo alongside her former co-star Jessika Power — but followers were left gobsmacked by the feisty reality star's new look.

Last night, Ines had teased fans with her impending transformation, sharing videos of herself in a dental chair, explaining she was having porcelain veneers fitted — but not showing her 157,000 subscribers the finished result.
"It's a secret I'm not allowed to show you," she wrote, as she pouted for the camera, none of her teeth visible.
She also shared a clip of the pearly whites she was getting fitted with, explaining "sh*t is getting real".

Despite later sharing a clip of her glammed up in a ruffled dress, Ines' kept her new look hidden from fans — until Jessika shared a photo of them together.
"Where is Ines," someone responded to Jessika who had tagged her pal in the snap — which also featured another friend, Chanel.
'HORRIBLE' RESPONSE SLAMMED
"Why does she look different?" another remarked.
The comments became so ferocious, Jessika was forced to step in and delete some of the more offensive remarks.
"Why did my comment get deleted?" one fan wrote.
Jess clapped back: "Because I don't appreciate people writing horrible comments on my Instagram about my girlfriends. Didn't your mumma ever teach you if you've got nothing nice to say then say nothing at all. Learn from my mistakes on MAFS."
Despite the confrontation and confusion, many declared the girls looked "beautiful" — while some were distracted by the fact Jessika wasn't wearing any shoes.
NOT THE FIRST SMILE MAKEOVER
Ines isn't the first MAFS star to have her smile overhauled recently, with Jess recently having her veneers replaced by the same celebrity dentist, Dr Dee.
Her fresh teeth followed harsh criticism online and her brutal public breakup from Dan Webb, something the 27-year-old opened up about in an emotional post on Instagram.

"I've spent the past 2 weeks trying to really pull myself out of the dark place I was left when Dan and I split. It was unexpected and very public and honestly it shattered my mental health," she told fans on social media.
Shes's admitted spending over $25,000 on cosmetic enhancements since leaving the show, including cheek and lip fillers, Botox, a brow lift and adding ultra-long extensions to her blonde hair.
Just like Jess, Ines has been undergoing tweaks to her appearance, admitting to fans last month she uses fillers to boost her plump lips.
Responding to a fan in an Instagram Q&A session she said she'd been going to the same clinic for years and gets "0.5 mil" of the flesh-boosting liquid injected.
The reality star's changing appearance had first been pointed out by fans back in February, when she attended a Melbourne event with co-star Martha Kalifatidis and was barely recognisable.

In a string of snaps, Ines' lips looked visibly fuller compared to her on-screen look, leaving fans of the Channel 9 show wondering if she had done something to enhance her features.
Just days later, she shared a behind-the-scenes video from a photoshoot to Instagram that left fans stunned.
