Despite receiving over 1,000 likes, the former TOWIE star came under fire from followers who slammed her for glamourizing the injection while some people who suffer from anaemia regularly need to have it.

One person argued: "This is wrong, celebs shouldn't be promoting this I have pernicious anaemia (fatal anaemia) and I have those injections every 3 months just to keep me alive."

Someone else said: "How can this be legal unless you’re B12 deficient. If so, please make that clear for young followers!!"

A third wrote: "It really upsets me as this is something I struggle with daily, yet it’s being glamourised, the injections aren’t pleasant and I dread having them done 🙄"

Another commented: "I cannot believe this post either! I have pernicious anaemia due to Crohn’s disease and I have injections every 6 weeks. I can’t believe this is being glamourised almost like a beauty treatment! Ridiculous! And yes it has to be injected intramuscularly! Things like this make me so angry"

Someone else criticised: "Absolutely disgusted that you are promoting this, many including myself have this injection every 10 weeks due to a lifelong medical condition. Ffs eat some greens."

One more added: "This ain't a f--king fashion"

After another of her folllowers - who claims she has pernicious anaemia - questioned why she's had the injection in her vain and not her muscle, the 33-year-old star replied and said: "I’m no doctor but by injecting into the vain your get much more of the vitamin in your system. but going into the muscle you only get 70% (which makes sense)"

Eek!

At the clinic – that is owned by Hollyoaks' Gary Lucy's wife – they explained why they inject into the vain and not the muscle. On their Instagram account, they wrote: "We administer B12 via IV - (intravenous) where you get 100% of the product going directly into your bloodstream through the vein and the process is virtually pain free with no side effects.

"Whereas having an injection into your arm, you only get 70% of the B12 and the side effects include a sore arm and pain at the time of injecting."

They added that they "do not offer any medical advice relating to any medical conditions or concerns," before advising their customers to speak to their own GP if they have any medical issues before getting a B12 IV shot.
