AN Instagram mad man, 22, has admitted being addicted to taking selfies.

Junaid Ahmed takes around 200 snaps of himself every day and uploads them to social media - but deletes them if he gets less than 600 'likes'.

He said he will spend three hours getting ready for a picture and his obsession has led to him getting cosmetic surgery on his face.

Essex boy Junaid, who has 50,000 Instagram followers, told the BBC: "When I post a picture, in the first minute or two I'll probably get 100 likes and I love it, my phone goes crazy, it's just amazing."

Researchers have identified a genuine addiction to selfies, which they have labelled selfitis.

Uploading more than six pics of yourself to social media every day is deemed chronic selfitis according to Nottingham Trent Uni researchers.

Junaid says his pals hate his habit.

He added: "They're like 'can't you go to a meal and not take a picture?'

"And I'm like 'no, I didn't get ready for three hours for no reason'. Why would I not take a picture?"

He also admits to having work done.

Junaid said: "Years ago I never used to look like this. I used to be quite natural. But I just think with the obsession with social media... I want to upgrade myself now.

"I've had my teeth veneered, chin filler, cheek filler, jawline filler, lip filler, botox under the eyes and on the head, tattooed eyebrows and fat freezing."

Earlier this year we spoke to Elena Tryfonos, from Ilford in Essex, who takes up to 50 selfies a day.

She described her obsession as "a disease" and said it had driven boyfriends away.

Word of warning to all you selfie fans - if you are going to snap a pic of yourself, make sure you hide your Rampant Rabbit before uploading it to the web, unlike these guys.
