Abi TitmussBreak-ups aren't just about the wreckage of broken hearts.

They also bring with them weight loss, haircuts and style transformations.

Y'see everyone wants to be a winner at the end of the day.

And if that means changing your look to prove a point, then so be it.

Of course, if you're a celeb, you've got all the money and expertise at hand to effect this stunning transformation with skill.

Take Abi Titmuss, here.

She became a truly different lady following her split from boyf John Leslie in 2003.

Off went the sensible nurse's uniform and general air of frumpiness, as Abi unveiled her potential as a saucy lads' mag fave.

Other celebs have undergone similar changes (though not always positive, we must admit).

See the stars bury their hurt feelings with a dramatic image change, in our gallery of post-split transformations, below.
