Starting the journey

Scarlett Moffatt's battle with body shamers
Behind her perky personality, Scarlett revealed that she suffered as a result of online bullies. Although Gogglebox has helped catapult her extremely 'normal' life into the public eye, fame has definitely had its downsides, something that Scarlett has experienced first-hand.Mostly targeting her weight (and her tan), Scarlett has admitted that the constant trolling on social media has definitely taken its toll.She told the Belfast Telegraph: "People have said: 'You're that fat you should just go and die.'"There are odd ones, mostly men, who criticise me about my weight and size and say I'm ugly. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt sometimes."Scarlett also admitted that she gets more distressed by how the vile comments affect her parents, Mark and Betty, who also appear on the show - especially as she was also viciously bullied as a young child."My mum's cried about stuff she's read about me, so I end up putting on a brave face because I don't want her to be upset," she said.
Yet more body shamers

You just can't win with some people!She previously opened up to The Sun about the bullying she experienced as a child, which was so bad that the school let her leave ten minutes before anyone else. She said: "From aged 12 I just didn't like life. I didn't have the best time, really."But if I hadn't had those experiences at school, then I probably wouldn't be here. If I had just tried to fit in, I wouldn't be the weirdo that I am now."Despite losing weight, Scarlett has always championed positive body image and is a firm believer in the saying 'if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all.'She's famously hit back at Katie Hopkins and Kelvin Mackenzie who have made endless cruel jokes about her weight.

“She was already feeling a bit hurt that he went on a big night out anyway, knowing how nervous she was for the show the next day - so things were already tense.
"Arg said it was rare all his mates were in Essex at the same time and said they just had a great meal and a catch-up. But Gem was annoyed, so she gave him the silent treatment and only starting speaking to him when they had a scheduled TV appearance together."
Arg’s past infidelities with his childhood sweetheart ex, Lydia Bright, 29 - who he once described as “the love of my life” - were regularly played-out on TOWIE.
In an attempt to defend his cheating, the singer once said, “It wasn’t like I was having full-blown affairs behind Lydia’s back or hooking up with people she knew - they were all fans.” He later revealed how he slept with Lydia and Gemma on the same day during a holiday in Marbella.
And pals say Gemma - who has been left repeatedly heartbroken in the past due to Arg's reluctance to commit during their on/off seven-year romance - can't shake off her insecurities.
The source says, "Gemma's always worried Arg will be tempted to stray and hates it when he hangs out with Mark, as she knows there will be gorgeous girls around them. It tests her trust."
