'I am completely alone - and believe me, I spend a lot of time contemplating the fact that could be alone for the rest of my life,' she told People at the time.

Today was a busy day for Kate, who is in Los Angeles for press duties.

The single mother did several interviews during the day and had an early start.

Earlier this month, a source told Us Weekly that Kate was 'consumed with her appearance.'

The single mother did have a tummy tuck in 2007 and breast implants in 2009, and add to that tanning sessions and Botox injections.

And New York plastic surgeon Jon Turk offered his professional opinion and said that Gosselin’s defined jawline and changed eye shape ‘suggests a facelift’.

Getting down to business: Kate talks to Extra host Maria Menounos

But despite being no stranger to image improvement, she insisted that her reinvigorated look is down to humble relaxation.

But while Kate denies the facelift, there is no doubt Kate has undergone a dramatic transformation after finding fame.

Prior to landing her reality TV show in 2005 Kate sported a brunette hairstyle and a much fuller figure, making her look much older than she does now.

Kate and her husband Jon shared their lives with the world but following their split the mother-of-eight continued to shine in the reality spotlight with her show Kate Plus 8.

The show was axed with the last episode of the series airing on September 12.

While Kate hinted at a return to TV and suggestions she could return to nursing earlier this month it was announced she had joined the coupon company to blog about her money-saving tips.
