If you aren’t familiar with Carla Bellucci, prepare to meet "Britian’s most hated woman".
The now 42-year-old first hit headlines back in 2019 after she admitted faking depression and flirting with her GP to get a £7k nose job on the NHS.
Since then, she has rarely been out of the papers and often rubs people up the wrong way with her controversial opinions.
Despite this, the mum-of-four has slammed trolls who’ve claimed she is only with her husband for his cash.

“I’m so sick of people saying I’m dating my husband for the money,” the former glamour model told press.
With a 13-year age gap between her and hubby Giovanni ‘Gio’ Pincay, the couple have been constantly scrutinised on social media.
Especially, after people learnt how their love story began.
According to Carla, they met in one of his photography studios during a glamour shoot and their 10-year-long affair began not long after.

After tying the knot last year though, the former glamour model says that her hubby is her perfect match.
She argued: “In the beginning, I’ll admit I was a bit of a gold digger and I did enjoy being spoiled; flown all around the world.
“But now it’s the real deal.”

Sadly, this hasn’t stopped the trolls.
Carla added: “People tell me he’s my dad and such evil stuff – it’s insane. They love to say that I have daddy issues [because there’s] a 13-year age gap.
“I really don’t get the [big] deal, but I know I’m onto a winner.”
It seems the ex-glamour model really is smitten as she even has Giovanni’s name tattooed on her body as a "thank you".
With the couple still taking regular trips to Barcelona, Marbella and even Ecuador, it seems the former model is living a dream life.
She explained: “Trolls always call him my ‘rich habba’ like he’s from Dubai, I have no idea why.
“I don’t [understand it], but so many people assume I would be with a younger guy or a footballer.

Carla's Crazy Life
The former model has had a colourful life, first hitting the headlines back in 2019.
She initially became infamous for her This Morning interview, which detailed her NHS nose job.
Prior to then though, she had her first marriage at just 19 and became a glamour model after having three kids.
Eventually, her first marriage broke down with the model revealing that she'd had a decade-long affair with an older man.
In 2023, she and Giovanni tied the knot in a luxury five-star resort in Cape Verde.
Wearing an £8,000 gown, she was surrounded by loved ones, many of whom had paid £1,500 to attend the wedding.
