A TV doctor has been struck off after he gave a patient free Botox in return for S.E.X at one of his clinics – with his actions labelled “predatory”.

Dr Tijion Esho, who has featured on ITV’s This Morning, BBC’s Morning Live and E4’s Body Fixers, admitted having an “improper emotional relationship” lasting almost three years with the patient, who offers S.E.Xual services on Only Fans and webcams.

The father-of-two, 42, who boasts of treating a host of high-profile clients, also admitted that he “behaved inappropriately” after they exchanged X-rated messages on Instagram and that his conduct was “driven by S.E.Xual desires”.

But the cosmetic doctor – also known as Dr Oluwafemi Esho and dubbed the ‘King of Lips’ – claimed their relationship never became physical after the woman said he’d “hounded” her for S.E.X.

A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service tribunal rejected his denials, preferring the patient’s “reliable and credible” evidence over his.

It found he gave the patient free Botox in exchange for S.E.X at his Newcastle clinic in August 2021.

The tribunal also ruled that he told her he “could get away with giving her Botox in exchange for S.E.Xual services”.

Further charges that he made inappropriate comments about the patient’s bottom during one appointment, rubbed himself against her, and took his penis out of his trousers and allowed her to perform a S.E.X act on him were also found proved.

And the tribunal decided to erase him from the medical register, leaving his reputation in tatters.

Ryan Donoghue, for the GMC, had called for the doctor to be struck off, saying he had shown only “limited insight” into his actions.

Mr Donoghue pointed to press reports containing a statement from the doctor which made it “plain” that he disagreed with the tribunal’s findings and continues to deny having S.E.Xual contact with the patient.

He said a “particular serious” aspect of the case was the exchange of the doctor’s medical services, or reduced waiting times, for S.E.Xual activity.

“The GMC submit that when that occurs in the context of the social media conversations that were taking place and how they arose that can properly be categorised as predatory behaviour,” said Mr Donoghue.

He said that the doctor’s conduct was repeated and deliberate and was plainly taken with regard to the consequences that could follow if the GMC were to become aware of what happened

As such, Mr Donoghue added, it was misconduct of the “most seriousness”.

Dr Esho, who was first revealed to be under investigation by The Sun, had denied six of the charges against him. He chose to stay away from the hearing citing family pressures.

Incredibly last night the disgraced technician still attempted to deny S.E.Xual activity with the patient and expressed his “disappointment” with the verdict.
