Fran was glowing with health after responding directly to trolls last month who criticised her weight.
She said she'll shed the pounds now lockdown is over - after feeling unable to exercise and looking after her sick grandad.
Addressing those who called her "bloated and unhealthy", she said: "Yeah I am bloated, do you know why? Because it's that time of the month.

"And also corona. It hit me hard. It really hit me hard. I didn't know what to do with myself.
"I don't like working out indoors. It's too small, too sweaty. I'm currently looking after my granddad because he's very, very poorly."
Fran admitted she wants to lose weight and encouraged her fans to join her on her journey to beat the bullies.
Tackling the mean comments head on, she continued: "So I've put on a bit of weight. So what. Do you know what? I'm gonna take this with a pinch of salt and I'm gonna show you I can lose the weight.

Towie's Fran Parman vows to lose weight and admits 'corona hit me hard' after cruel trolls body shame her
"People get hatred on Instagram comments but online it's really nasty things people are writing. It shouldn't be OK.
"If anyone else gets this nastiness, just take it with a pinch of salt. They must be really sad with their lives and really insecure to go out their way and write this s**t about me."
Sharing her surprise that her current look proved to be such a talking point, she went on: "I didn't think nothing of it. I've put on a few dress sizes what's the problem?

"I'm not happy being this size. I can't fit into my clothes. But that is my goal. I'm going to do it now and fit into them.
"A lot of years I used to be so upset about my weight. I had ex-boyfriends being really nasty about my weight. I was tiny but they used to turn around and call me fat. It was mental.
"My point is don't beat yourself up if you get hate."
Fran returned to filming two years after she split with James ‘Diags’ Bennewith and left the show.
