Shaughna Phillips has been slammed on social media for promoting a 'slender plan' but the reality star has hit back at the criticism.
Before heading into the Love Island villa, Shaughna shared before and after photos documenting her weight loss journey.
Now, the Love Island star has promoted Protein World's Slender Plan on Instagram and it has left some of her followers unimpressed.
On Instagram she wrote, "Right, it’s about time I sorted my isolation diet out! 😩 I don’t know about you, but I’ve been snacking on anything and everything since going into lockdown (and before lockdown to be fair, but ANYWAYZZZ), so I’ve partnered with @proteinworld and started using their 4 week Slender Plan to help me get back on track."
Despite going on to say that she'll keep her 1.6million followers "updated" on how she uses her plan, some of her fans were not happy that she was promoting a meal plan.
One of her followers fumed, "Disappointed, why is it when a normal size girl come into the public eye they have to change and go skinny! Why put yourself through this you should be a role model to girls not pump your body with crap. Sorry but I would prefer celebrities to be normal looking realistic, my girls loved you as you looked normal. Oh well."
Someone else said, "Oh honey, this ain't it. Now is not the time for dieting or weight loss. Please don't jump on the same bandwagon as those who promote weight loss. If snacking and junk food help those who are struggling, then they need to have that outlet. Just buy normal Quaker oats y'know?"

Another argued, "I'm sorry but you were adored on Love Island for being a genuine, normal girl and that's why so many girls look up to you, for them to see you're now replacing meals with a quick drink.
"Why not promote eating vegetables, doing your exercise, self love and meditation because that's what young girls of today need, genuine advice."
However, Shaughna didn't take the comments lightly and hit back by writing, "I'm not replacing any meals? And it's wrong of you to just assume that. I regularly broadcast my PT sessions (three a week) and healthy meals, and if you've watched my stories you would have seen that.
"The shake powder can be used as a meal replacement OR to aid recovery post workout, which is exactly what I use them for. My meals are made for me by my PT. Hope this clears it up for you x".
She also added in response to another comment, "I don't want to get skinny, just fit. I'm a size eight-10 and plan on staying that way 💖".

The drama on Shaughna's latest Instagram post comes just weeks after she shared before and after photos from her weight loss transformation.
"Me pre love island > Me post love island 🤣 Well not quite... but that’s how I felt! Feels so good to be back training regularly and eating the right foods again, mainly for my physical health, but now more than ever for my mental health," she wrote.
"It’s so easy to fall into a bit of a 'funk' when we can’t do much, keep your mind ticking over and try and get some fresh air each day, your mind is your best weapon 💪🏽 As Akon once said 'I CAN’T WAIT TO GET OUT AND MOVE FORWARD WITH MY LIIIFFEEEEEEEE' ⏳🔒".
