The Essex girl spoke out about her frustrations when people underestimate her or brand her ‘thick.’

She told a UK gossip mag: ‘One massive misconception about me is that I don’t work hard and I’m stupid. I hate that. I’ve two very successful businesses.’

Lucy runs a personal training business Results With Lucy as well as her own boutique.

Lucy doesn’t let any other peoples’ jealousy get the better of her, telling the mag: 'I don’t think some girls and women like to see other women doing well- you get that quite a lot.’

‘The negativity just makes me work harder.'

‘I’m young and that doesn’t help. People need to focus on their own lives rather than putting other people down.’

Lucy said: ‘It’s harder for her to stay trim, but I can remember when she was a size 12-14 and had brown hair. She looked amazing and healthy.'

'I’ve got nothing against curvy women- I just think when you get over a size 16 it becomes unhealthy.’

Lucy is currently single after splitting from ex-boyfriend Mario Falcone, but the gorgeous reality star says that she doesn’t get chatted up very often.

‘Not many guys approach me. My friends get more attention than I do.’ Somehow we find that hard to believe, Lucy!
