Has Martina Big - the extreme tanning and surgery addict - gone too far this time?

Remember Martina Big (if you've ever seen a picture of her, we're sure you will!)? Well, the extreme tanning and surgery addict, has undergone yet another shocking transformation, and is now claiming she is 'a black woman.'

Martina - who was born with milky white skin and blonde hair - first had cosmetic surgery in 2012, and since then has completely transformed her look.

As well as her ever-expanding breasts (Martina now wears a UK size 32 S!), Martina also has regular tanning injections, and in recent years months has become obsessed with making her skin as dark as possible.

And now, controversially, Martina has taken to referring to herself as 'a black woman.'

Writing on her Facebook page, Martina updated her fans on her ongoing transformtion, saying: "I had done the next step in my transformation to a black woman. Yesterday I was with an African hairdresser and got a hair extension with curly, African hair. To become more and more a black woman, that is such a wonderful feeling. I'm so happy. Next, I’ll have consultations for the butt enlargement and for the African facial features."

Unsurprisingly, a lot of people have found her comments - and her 'transformation' - incredibly offensive.

One comment on her Facebook, reads: "Martina you look rediculous [sic] and honestly you r an insult to beautiful african american and african woman period all over because you look like a white woman in horrible black face.....please look up the history of "black face" nothing about you is cute pretty glamorous !!! Nothing it looks disgusting and you r a disgrace to your race."

However Martina has hit back, claiming that her wish to be 'a black woman' is coming from a good place. Replying to negative comments on her Facebook page, she wrote: "I do not understand why many African-Americans are so upset? I change because I find black women gorgeous and want to be like them :) This is nothing bad."
