Charlotte Crosby has detailed the struggles she had growing up in the limelight, after soaring to success on Geordie Shore in her early twenties.
Charlotte, now 32, joined the hit MTV series in 2011 - aged just 21 at the time - and found fame through her bubbly personality and eccentric endeavours.
And while she made many fond memories with G-Shore, she has recently revealed that fame comes with its difficulties too - in the form of internet trolls and the snide remarks they make.

In episode three of her brand-new BBC Three series, Charlotte in Sunderland, the Sunderland-born reality-TV star sits down for a chat with Jorvik Radio. The host says: "So Charlotte, welcome to Love in the Morning - it's great to have you on Jorvik Radio," to which Char, replies: "Hiya, what a lovely name! Love in the Morning."
The host continues: "So you've got your own fashion brand, I love the fact that you're emphasising body positivity," which Charlotte adding: "When I was on Geordie Shore, I got so many messages being like 'I love how you don't wear any make-up and you don't get dressed up, and you're not afraid to you know, embarrass yourself, and just be the person who you actually are'.
"Everyone judges me every day, but just don't care. Just be yourself regardless."
The show then cuts away to a piece to camera interview with Charlotte, who explains what life is like battling trolls after finding fame and fortune. She says: "Growing up in the media spotlight is difficult. You are judged, you are trolled, you are constantly scrutinised and I find myself sometimes crying when I receive so much positivity, because I'm really not used to it.
"Because of all of the hate."
It comes just months after Charlotte hit back at mum-shaming trolls online in December. Taking to Instagram, she wrote a message to trolls who had been slamming the celebrity for exercising not long after giving birth to daughter Alba Jean.
In her stories section, she penned: "My inbox has exploded and I mean exploded with just so many messages, kind, lovely words of support and encouragement and just like general loveliness. You guys are incredible.
"Listen, I'm not breaking my back exercising. I'm literally doing like 15 to 20 minutes a day and the rest of my activity is running around after this little gorgeous cherub. What I will say though is the bits of exercise I am doing is giving me a huge boost, like not just mentally but energy wise like afterwards I feel so great."
She added: "I am struggling. I'm not looking like I used to but I will get back there but not putting any pressure on myself."
