Towie’s Clelia Theodorou dramatically loses two stone and drops to a tiny six stone after split with boyfriend
TOWIE’s Clelia Theodorou lost two stone and dropped to as little as six stone after splitting from her boyfriend.
She was also left even more devastated as she fell out with her best friend Shelby Tribble, 26, and her boyfriend Sam Mucklow, 27.
The reality beauty told The Sun she had received abuse as a result of the dramatic weight loss.
In an exclusive chat Clelia, 24, said: “I've lost a lot of weight and it's been commented on and sent to me on social media.
“Personal messages and comments from trolls all the time, constantly I get messages saying, ‘You looked so much better before. You're disgusting now. You're so skinny now,’ and stuff like that and I understand it because I did look better before.
“It's horrible because it's like telling someone they’re overweight.
“But it's only been about three weeks where I've been able to eat again and get myself back to normal but I look 100 times better than what I looked like a few months ago. I dropped down to six stone, I was very gaunt, my mum was beside herself, it was awful and it wasn't on purpose.
“For a small person to lose that weight is a lot. I was eight stone.
“Your head is so mashed up and everyone that you've loved in your life, like three people that I sent messages to every day of my life, basically screwed me over. I couldn't eat and I love my food and my Nan was like, 'You are the biggest eater I've ever met'.”
Clelia now says she’s in a much better place and is eating well again.
She said: “I don't want to be [that skinny]. I'm taking time and I'm eating more and more.
“My friends are like force feeding me which is great. I'm eating because I'm feeling better and the stress is slowly going away.”
Clelia says she’s moved out of the flat the pair lived in and they are no longer friends.
She said: “That was when I needed someone the most and she wasn't there, she didn't check up on me, she didn't say a thing to me.
“She knew how I was how upset I was and she just didn't contact me until she was done with her holiday.”
Clelia told The Sun there were rumours that Shelby knew about her ex-boyfriend cheating on her and didn’t tell her.
She said: “I don't know if that's true or not, it's just hearsay but a lot of people have said it and you can never really confirm it can you. I'm never going to find out the truth because people are going to lie and everyone backtracks a lot they'll say one thing and then they'll backtrack
“She was posting snidey little things on social media about me, she let Sam send me nasty messages all summer.
“She knew I was in Devon with my mum having a mental breakdown and she just let that happen and she just didn't even care.
“I got back from Canada for two weeks when I was in a really bad place and when I got back she left me in a ball on the floor for four days and at one point my mum actually messaged her and said, ‘Listen I need you to go and get my daughter because she's in a really, really bad way’.
“But she just carried on getting drunk with Sam at a barbecue.”
MORE TV & SHOWBIZ
She said: “The thing is when we had the chat the other night it didn't go very well — there was a lot of screaming.
“I know how she gets when she's got a boyfriend. I have fought her battles on the show time after time, after time and I just never got it back and I never expected it back but when I was in my lowest place I needed someone to help me out a little bit and after everything I'd done for her it was just a slap in the face. And him even more so because he was just baffled.
“Sam, he was nasty and he knew what I was going through and I got a message from him over the summer saying, ‘Put how you're feeling and you being down to the side, why have you not messaged me and Shelby to check that we're having a happy holiday’. Which I did so and I didn't get a response.”
