Towie’s Fran Parman shows off incredible weight loss as she wears dress that got her viciously trolled on the show
TOWIE star Fran Parman showed off her incredible weight loss by slipping into the same dress she was cruelly trolled over last summer.
The reality star gained three stone last year while looking after her grandad, 91, in the first lockdown.
When she was pictured on her return to the Essex reality show after two-year break in the summer, she was stunned by the toxic abuse she received about her appearance.
Now seven months later, Fran, who has since lost two stone, proudly put the dress that sparked the cruel comments back on.
Speaking on Instagram, she said: "A lot of you were arguing over this damn dress. I don't understand why everyone's got the hump so much over it. It's a f***ing dress. I've put it back on."
She explained the decision to wear the dress in the first place was her own after it was shown to her by a boutique assistant.
At the time, Fran was a size 14 and admitted she'd never had to buy clothes at that size for herself before.
"So what, I made a mistake, boohoo," she said.
"I really don't care what anyone says anymore.
"Your happiness is the main thing. Don't worry about what anyone else says."
On International Women's Day, Fran also told how the abuse she received has spurred her on to be more resilient and positive.
She said: "The amount of abuse I got on this day was not ok. No one knew my story, everyone judged and was quick to bring me down just over a dress. I was so sad on this day but I look back and thank you for the trolling.

"The mean words I bought to light and the amount of women that have come forward and messaged me is honestly so beautiful to see the support we have for each other.
"It doesn’t matter what size you are and thank you for all the women that made me believe I was beautiful this size regardless of the trolls. Yes I’ve lost weight, but thats because who I feel, more comfortable as a person. It shouldn’t matter what size you are it’s who the person is that matters."
