JOEY Turner has sparked further concern over his weight with another shocking snap after declaring that “size zero is sexy”.

The former Towie star – who recently denied that he is suffering from an eating disorder – posted the statement on Instagram earlier this week.

But just days after his size zero admission, the 20-year-old has posted another distressing picture, with fans airing their thoughts on his appearance.

It comes after he told The Sun: “I can’t help that I am skinny. I am not going to apologise to anyone.”

Commenting on his drastic weight loss, one fan said: “Cannot watch this anymore, it’s upsetting to watch.”

Alongside a crying emoji, another person pleaded: “Joey, please stop doing this to yourself – it’s really not healthy.”

Someone else commented: “This is not being a good role model, Joey. You need to seek help before it’s too late.”

Joey sparked worry as he appeared slimmer than usual in recent Instagram posts, but he tells us that he’s always been “tall and skinny” – and plans to stay that way.

Addressing his weight, he explains: “The thing is I have always had a long thin frame, I am 5ft 11ins so I am quite tall and I have always had a long frame. 

“Maybe I have lost weight, but not because I am starving myself. 

“I weigh seven-and-a-half stone, but I don’t weigh myself. I don’t care about how much I weigh. I am skinny, I can’t help that I am skinny. I am not going to apologise to anyone.

“We live in a generation where everyone is preaching about body positivity, but does that only apply to bigger people?”

Joey added that has no intention to censor his posts and vows to continue embracing his body. 

He says: “To put it bluntly – I can’t help being skinny. I am happy, healthy and have supportive people around me.”
