Megan Barton-Hanson has revealed that she put on a stone, as she is hitting out at trolls.
The Love Island star recently hit back at an online troll who claimed she was “fat”, after she gained a healthy amount of weight since July.
The 24-year-old hit back at the troll on Instagram and has now opened up about her body and happiness.
Speaking of the negative message she received, Megan told Fabulous Magazine: “I really made an effort that night. I got a stylist, got my favourite hair and make-up artist, and I felt like a princess.”
“I was in such good spirits and then to see all these negative comments, I was like: ‘What the hell?’. It’s so nasty to look at a picture and to take time out of your day to criticise and pull me apart.”
“I’m a size 10, I lead a healthy life, I go to the gym, I eat right and yeah I’ve put on weight since the villa, but I’m not overweight and I’m not fat!” she continued.
The star said that she still leads a healthy lifestyle and that she isn’t going to restrict herself to a ‘juice cleanse’ in order to look a certain way.
“I’m in love and I’m living my best life. I work out, I do yoga, but I’m never going to go on a juice cleanse diet. If there’s nice cake, I’m going to eat it!”
“How can you call someone fat at size 10? I’ve got hips and I’ve got boobs, a bum and thighs. Personally, I love burlesque and the whole pin-up image of women when they’ve got curves. You don’t wanna be a stick, it’s too much hard work!”
“Yes, I’ve put on a stone, but I’m comfortable with my figure. I like being womanly, and that when I wear a pencil skirt it goes in and out.”
As for her Love Island beau, Wes Nelson, the model said: “He loves it! He loves my big bum. He says it’s even better now!”
