APPRENTICE star Lottie Lion admitted she is scared to go out in public because she keeps being targeted by trolls.
The librarian, 20, is struggling to cope and shared a video of herself in tears on Saturday after being confronted in a pub over her stint on the BBC show.
She was a contestant in last year's Apprentice when she was just 19 and said being on the show was her "biggest regret".
Lottie, of Taunton, Somerset, said: "It's nearly been a year since The Apprentice aired and I'm still getting abuse in pubs and stuff.
"It's absolutely destroying me and I don't know what to do. It makes me terrified to go out in public.
"What am I supposed to do, not go? Am I supposed to just stay inside and not live my life? I don't know what to do any more. I can't cope with it. I can't cope with any more nastiness about me."

Lottie added: "I hate myself more than any of you ever could. When you tell me how much you hated me, or how annoying you found me and how nasty I was…I know.
"I just went on a programme, I wish that I hadn't, its my biggest regret…just leave me alone."
Lottie pleaded with the public to treat her with more kindness, saying: "please be kinder". Her former co-star Thomas Skinner has since reached out to offer her support.
