I looked rich on social media but was so skint I couldn’t pay rent and lived out of a suitcase, reveals Tallia Storm
Tallia Storm has revealed she was so skint last year, she couldn’t afford to pay rent and lived out of a suitcase.
The singer, 24, whose parents are RHOJ's and renowned artist Sascha - has an Instagram grid littered with snaps of herself in designer gear and on lavish holidays.
But Tallia's now confessed she "created" a certain image to display on social media, when she was really sleeping on her sister Tessie's sofa.
She told The Sun: "I was at Cannes this year but this time last year, I literally could not afford my rent. However, there was a buzz about me [in 2022] because I was on the red carpet at the Brit Awards.
"But I couldn't afford to live in London. It's so expensive. So I moved in with my sister who is a year and a half older than me. She works in finance. She has a fantastic job and constantly travels all around the world.
"However she genuinely saved me and let me move into her one-bedroom apartment and suddenly, I was living in my sister's place out of suitcases when I was constantly creating this image that I was smashing it."

These says, Tallia's life truly does mirror her online presence after raking in cash from sponsored posts and broadcasting deals as well as her budding music career.
But while she's moved into her very own pad and owns a brand new Mercedes, the former Celebs Go Dating star stays humble by using public transport in the capital.
She said: "If I want this, I've got to do it. So I moved into my first apartment last September and now I have my first car, a Mercedes C class.
"But I still take the bus and the tube everywhere. I will never forget riding to the Brit Awards on the tube to North Greenwich wearing a blue fur coat."
