I was fat-shamed on Towie in brutal ‘attack’ by co-star – now I’ve lost a stone, reveals Chloe Brockett
CHLOE Brockett has told how she went on a health kick after being “fat-shamed” by her Towie co-star.
The Sun revealed 23-year-old Chloe was called a “fat c***” by Roman Hackett during a furious row on set.
She’s now a stone lighter following the exchange, which “left a mark”.
Chloe told us ahead of her appearance on Celebrity Ex on the Beach: “Obviously being called out over your appearance is never nice. It definitely had an impact on me.
“It was a really stressful time and having someone shout ‘fat c***’ in my face left a mark.
“I’ve never been insecure about my weight before – I’ve always embraced having a big bum and big boobs.
“However, what was said to me was really upsetting.
“I have lost weight, but I’m feeling better within myself now and my confidence is back.
“It’s important to remember, all body shapes and sizes should be celebrated. We’re all beautiful in our own unique ways.”
Towie fans have been praising Chloe’s “new look” after noticing her weight loss in recent weeks.
The reality star has dropped a dress size and says she can feel as massive difference in figure.
It comes after she quit Towie after five years – six months after she was suspended over an altercation during filming.
She spoke to The Sun for the first time about being in a “set up” Towie showmance with Roman during the last series.
Chloe insisted she was never romantically involved with Roman Hackett – despite a love triangle storyline with their close pal Dani Imbert.
However, Towie bosses “categorically denied” the romance was faked for TV.

Chloe previously told how she is no longer on speaking terms with Roman after a row on set.
“He called me a fat c***,” claimed Chloe.
“I was totally shocked by what Roman said. I know it was in the heat of the moment, but it was really hurtful that he brought up my weight.
“He definitely won’t be appearing on Celeb Ex on the Beach because I never dated him, he’s not my ex,” insisted Chloe, who joined Towie in 2019 at 18 years old.
“Our ‘love triangle’ with Dani was set up by the show, there was never anything between us.”
She added of her five-year experience on Towie: “I have the most fond memories.
“Towie has kept saying the ‘door is always open’ for me, but for now I am looking forward to a new challenge.”
