Towie star Harry Derbidge has hit back at body-shaming trolls - insisting he's not had fillers or Botox in his face and revealing he's suffered sickening abuse over his weight gain.
Harry, 26, bravely revealed he's beaten an eating disorder, but has been mocked by cruel trolls for "piling on the pounds".
He hit back in a candid post on Twitter, insisting he's much healthier after putting on weight and denying cruel claims he's had work done on his face.
Harry tweeted: "Honestly... I won’t say this again, I haven’t had any filler or Botox in my face.
"The only thing I have had done is a tiny bit of lip filler... so can we all stop comparing 16 year old harry to 26 year old harry. It actually makes me laugh.
"And to [those] saying 'I’ve piled on the pounds' the answer is... yes I have.
"I went through a terrible eating disorder and I have worked so hard on myself to over come it over the years, and honestly... I think I look better then ever
"But I do want to thank everyone who has been sending me such lovely messages, they all do not go unnoticed"
Harry, who is Amy Childs' cousin, shot to fame a decade ago on hit reality show Towie.
He was just a teenager when he first appeared on the show, and is now 26 and is making a name for himself as a make-up artist.
Harry has more than 100,000 followers on Instagram, where he regularly posts his stunning make-up looks.
Back in 2017, he opened up about his devastating battle with an eating disorder.
He shared a picture of himself aged 16 weighing just seven stone, revealing he had a crippling "fear of food".
Harry explained: "My journey with an eating disorder was a struggle and I know I'm not a muscle pump up pete now but where I am right now I have never felt and looked better in myself...
"Aged 16 I was 7 stone and very unhealthy and could go a day without eating, I also had a fear of food which can be diagnosed as a 'food phobia'
"I had made my stomach so tiny that I could eat 2 bites of food and be full which was very unhealthy and made me very weak..."
He went on to credit his friends and family with helping him get healthy, writing: "I eat 3/4 meals a day and without my family and friends I could not have done it.
"My mum who is also my best friend was by my side and helped me overcome this and with months of making myself sick with the phobia of trying new foods I have now overcome the eating disorder and feel so amazing now when I eat and I feel stronger, healthy and happier in myself.
"Eating disorder are not common in men, not because we don't have them but because many men choose not to talk about them and ignore it.
