Lucy Mecklenburgh has said she's known to get a puffy face after drinking alcohol.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star - who is currently dating co-star Tom Pearce - admits she knocks back the booze around five times a week when she is filming the ITV2 show, but she is trying to cut down on the amount she consumes because it warps her appearance.
She said: "While filming or going out with Tom and the girls, I drink four or five nights a week, so I need to cut down to one or two. My face goes puffy when I drink a lot, which is not an attractive look and it's making me feel yucky."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty has hit back at reports claiming she is ditching the reality programme to try her hand at bigger and better things, by suggesting that she has no plans to leave just yet.
Writing in her new! magazine column, she explained: "There was a story last week saying I'm leaving 'TOWIE'. I've never said I'm leaving. I'm having a great time at the moment and I love being part of such a great show."
