LOVE Island star Millie Court has hit back at followers who slated her for posing in a bikini.
The reality star, 26, was horrified when trolls commented on a recent snap of her in a silver thong and matching bikini top during her holiday in Chamonix Mont Blanc in the snowy French Alps.
Millie revealed that cruel followers accused her of needing to "get her kit off" to be "famous".
Baring the cold, the star sizzled in the chilly climate, using the snow covered mountains as a backdrop and keeping warm with a white puffer jacket and matching snow boots.
Addressing the shocking messages, Millie said: "I was going through my comments on Instagram and some of you may not think that I do see what you write but I do.
"There are some people in this world who aren't as nice as others. I'm at an amazing ski place Chamonix in France and I love a bikini pics.

"I take bikini pics as I would in Thailand, so I thought I would taken one in Chamonix because we have a heated pool outside and a hot tub, so we went in it afterwards.
"But people felt the need to comment saying I need to get my kit off to get famous."
The Essex beauty urged her fans to think stop posting nasty messages as it can be very "hurtful".
"Just being nasty and I think some people don't realise that I can see that," Millie continued.

"I think some people think I'm just an Instagram page and I'm just this TV personality because I went on one TV show that I'm not human and I don't have feelings.
"It does actually hurt me, it is quite hurtful when I read comments like that and maybe I don't have as thick a skin as I should but I've never been prepared for being in the life that I am, but I'm very very grateful for it.
"But some people aren't as thick skin as others, me being one of them and it's not nice.
"Me and Ryan are p***** off."
Millie's good pal Ryan told the "haters" that the vile comments are "rude", with Millie adding "it's her job" to share photos on social media.
She continued: "It's annoying because I'd say 10 per cent of my comments are negative, 90 per cent are very positive and I don't really want to give a shout out to the haters because this is what they want.
"So, I'm giving you what you want right now because normally I don't do these.
"But I felt the need to but may I say everyone who do comment lovely things, I see it, I love you and thank you so much, it does mean a lot.
"I say it is my job but I'm taking pictures of myself and when people write nice stuff, of course it's going to make me feel good about myself.
"We all have insecure moments."
Despite the post raking in over 50,000 likes, Millie's fans were shocked to see her skimpy ensemble and rushed to the comments to give the social media star a stern warning.
One wrote: "Do you need a hot water bottle? Your legs must be freezing".
Although her fans shared their concern, the pictures garnered the praise of Millie's fellow celebrity pals who flocked to the comments to share their amazement.
Former Love Islander Chloe Burrows simply wrote: "WOW" and followed it up with a second comment of "Oh wow x".
