Lucy Mecklenburgh "tries to laugh" at online abuse she gets.

The 'Only Way is Essex' beauty - who recently became engaged to on/off boyfriend Mario Falcone - admits she does face criticism on sites such as twitter, but tries to brush it off as best she can.

She said: "I get called Fat Face or Goofy a lot, which is so stupid I'm trying to laugh about it.

"Lauren Goodger gets loads of abuse on twitter - I don't know how she deals with it so well."

The 20-year-old star does suffer from body issues - despite a petite frame - and claims she has "fat days".

She said: "Everyone has parts of their body they like more than others. I'm just the same as any other girl in that respect. I like my waist and that it is flat, but even I have fat days and can get a muffin top."

Lucy has now turned designer with a new range of bikinis, and she reveals she will be giving away some of her items to her 'TOWIE' co-stars.

She told the Daily Star newspaper: "I'm going to give a piece from collection to each of the girls so they can all wear them on the show!"
