Kara Tointon used to be known as "Chlamydia Girl".
The 'EastEnders' actress was given the cruel nickname by her classmates after she appeared in an advert warning against sexual diseases.
She said: "One of the lowest points was when I was doing a tiny bit of modelling. The agency took a picture of me sitting in a bathroom with a towel wrapped around me, looking sad and it was used in a magazine to illustrate the dangers of contracting diseases. I was at school at the time so everyone took the p**s out of me. I was Chlamydia Girl."
We didn't say anything for a while as we wanted to see what would happen
Kara also revealed she was nervous about telling bosses she was dating Joe Swash, who played her on-screen brother, as she didn't think they would be impressed.
She told Britain's FHM magazine: "We didn't say anything for a while as we wanted to see what would happen.
"Otherwise you end up in the situation where you talk about it and then something happens and you're not together. Also, for some reason, I thought work would be really angry with me."
