Police probe after Coronation Street extra is attacked by mystery cyberbully who faked Facebook page full of unflattering pics of her
Cinzia Lanza, 31, remains defiant after she is targeted in twisted online vendetta
COPS are investigating after a Coronation Street extra was cyber-shamed by a mystery troll who faked a Facebook page full of unflattering photos of her.
Cinzia Lanza, lost three stone after a decade of rigorous training and tough diet regimes.
She also underwent a number of cosmetic procedures, which she has never sought to hide.
But the 31-year-old restaurant worker's transformation attracted criticism from cyberbullies who set up the bogus account to accuse her of faking her looks.
It features unflattering photos from her wedding 11 years ago and more recent photos doctored to brand her “fake”.
Cinzia she said she didn't know who was behind the cyber attack and reported the matter to the police and Facebook - who have since removed it
She said: "The police asked me if there was anyone I had upset, but there isn't. I'm not a spiteful person, I'm quite mellow.

"Whoever did this must be a very bitter person, but you have to stand up to them.
"That person has somehow got hold of my wedding video and used a clip from when I was making my vows. It's a bad angle and I was very nervous.
"They have then put a recent picture of me on and another picture of me with 'fake' written all over it."
She first became aware of the page after the perpetrator sent people she knew friend requests.
One of her work colleagues was even sent an abusive message from the account pretending to be her.
Cinzia, who is now divorced, said despite the online abuse she hasn't been fazed by the comments that she is "fake".
She said: "I'm not ashamed about how I've changed over the last 11 years.
"People do transform themselves.
"I use fake tan, as do a lot of girls and I've had breast augmentation but that was before I got married.
"All that's different between the two photographs is I did have a nose job and I've lost three stone in weight.
"I've not had my lips or my teeth done.
"I'm happy to talk about this because I'm not ashamed about progressing in life.
"If you don't like your hair, you change the colour and people have their teeth fixed all the time.
"If you want to make the best of yourself there's nothing wrong with that."
Cinzia, from Blackpool, Lancs., added: "I still have pictures on my Facebook site from years ago and it's not a secret I have had my nose done.
"They have put it on like it's something really bad, like I'm all false."
Cinzia's mum Lucia Frankitt added: "Cinzia is a strong person but there are some people who would be emotionally crushed if this happened to them.
"Cyber-bullying is a crime and can be terrible for anyone who is emotionally fragile.
"You have to stand up to people, because this could cost someone their life literally."
A spokesperson for Lancashire Police confirmed the incident had been reported and is under investigation.
