• The 52-year-old actress had been acting since she was 8 before Baywatch
• She got breast implants at 18 after seeing the 'not flattering' swimsuits
• 'Oh my God, we’re going to be in a bathing suit all day every day?' she recalled

'All the girls worked out and were super tiny and fit and I was like "Whoops." And the one-piece bathing suits were not flattering. I didn’t want to wear it at all,' she said.

'It just wasn’t what I signed up for. It was a totally different show and ballgame and not where I wanted to be,' she said, ultimately leaving Baywatch after two seasons.

While she grew up swimming on the Southern California beaches they filmed on, and she was one of the strongest swimmers in the cast, she still felt insecure about her body, adding that led her to get the breast implant surgery.

'I regret it now, of course. I look at all these younger girls doing it and think, "God, leave your bodies alone!"' Eggert said.

Though she admitted, 'But when you have to put on that one-piece and it's like you're so flat that it's like pleating — you got pleats across the front... you're like, "What is this?" Nothing you can do. You can't stuff it with anything. You can't do anything.'

'It was a stupid 18 year old decision,' Eggert added, and while she would go on to have multiple breast augmentation surgeries after that, she appeared on E!'s Botched in 2015 to have her breasts reduced.

Back in 2016, original Baywatch producers Michael Berk and Douglas Schwartz claimed that Eggert felt 'competitive' with star Pamela Anderson.

They also claimed that she 'called in sick' for a few days after a holiday weekend and came back with a boob job, but Eggert disputes that.
