The 'Geordie Shore' star has spoken out against former co-star Vicky, 27, to criticise her for picking on her best pal and co-star Chloe Etherington.

Marnie exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I just think she's got too much time on her hands. For some reason she's just really unhappy with herself. I think she's such an insecure girl that she's got to try and bash other girls to make herself feel better.

"I've heard that she's been griefing Chloe as well. How old's Vicky? 30? 31? Why would you even grief a 19 year old?"

Chloe joined the cast of the MTV reality show last year and veteran cast member Charlotte Crosby accused her at the time of copying her but Marnie's now claimed she's just upset because Chloe's taken some of the attention away from her.

The brunette beauty explained: "I think she [Chloe] might steal Charlotte's limelight a little bit, no one else's. It's like someone coming in and being a drama queen. I'd be like, 'Move over, that's my role'."

Marnie added: "She's so innocent and so warm. You could never be bitchy or catty with her. I'm very protective of her. She's like my little sister."
