TOWIE’s Fran Parman reveals she is a size 12 as she slams cruel trolls

Fran Parman has revealed she is a size 12 and slammed trolls for negative comments in an Instagram video this week.

The TOWIE star, 29, said she ‘didn’t give a s**t’ about people’s comments’ about her weight as she candidly discussed body confidence, after telling fans she had dropped an incredible 10lb.     

She said: ‘Hey guys I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone’s messages. Yes, as we’ve all gathered I have gone up to a size 12.

‘I actually don’t understand why some people have got a problem with it, it happens. I just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely comments and the negative ones I just wish you happiness guys.  

‘I just want to let everyone know I’m okay, I don’t give a s**t about people’s comments.

‘I genuinely pity them, this is the whole reason why I’m doing this video as well, because I know there are people going through the same sort of journey and it’s hard especially when people is nasty about it.’ 

‘You just think f**k off, I’m doing something about it and I’m happy with the size I am. What are you gaining from it?’  

She added: ‘Also I just want to ask one question, this is what’s bothering me. I was a size 8 and I’ve gone up to a size 12 – I want to know why would these clothes companies create a size 12 if I’m going to look so unflattering in them.

‘If I want to wear a size 12 dress I will wear it. I just don’t understand why people are so bothered about it.

‘I’m doing this for me, people are going to have opinions. You need to do this for you and nobody else. That’s my little positivity for today, I love you all.’

She captioned the video: ‘Hey guys, I’m getting ridiculous amount of messages so I wanna clear it all up via this video. 

‘Thank you for your kind words regarding my weight but if anyone gets a negative feed back regarding their weight tell them to go f themselves.. you have got this we can do this and nobody is taking that away from us!!! 

‘I love you all very much 10 pounds down and I am going to continue to update you with some positivity or anything else you would like updates with please comment below and will try to do more videos for you guys xxxxx.’

The star recently revealed she had put on 3st in three months after moving in with her 91-year-old granddad to care for him during lockdown.   

Things got very awkward on Wednesday’s episode of The Only Way Is Essex after Fran decided to ‘break the ice’ with ex James ‘Diags’ Bennewith.

The two reality stars, both aged 29, called time on their romance in 2017 when they had an acrimonious split after she initially joined TOWIE as his housemate.

And on Wednesday’s episode, Fran decided to ‘break the ice’ with Diags after they ended up in the same bar together.   

After being encouraged by her friends to talk to him, Fran headed over to Diags who was enjoying a socially-distanced drink with Amber Turner and Dan Edgar. 

Welcoming herself over with ‘hi guys’, Diags was left speechless to which she quipped: ‘You all look like you’ve seen a ghost!’

To which the trio explained it was a ‘surprise’, Fran added: ‘How are you? I just thought I’d come on over and say hello and see how is everything.’

Asked why she was at the bar, Fran said: ‘I’m here with the girls so thought I would break the ice and say hello to everyone.’  

To which the star was met by an awkward silence, trying to make light of the situation, Fran continued: ‘Any new goss or anything?’ 

With Diags replying: ‘Not really, well, we’re doing a bucket list. I’m trying to get stuff done before I’m 30.’  

The foursome then went silent again with Dan awkwardly smiling and looking over at Diags. 

Again making light of the situation, Fran asked: ‘Any good things on the list? ‘  

With Diags explaining: ‘We’re working through the list as we compile it. How have you been anyway?’

‘I’ve been great, yeah, come to see the girls and that, they said you were here when we walked in and I thought, “You know what, I’m going to break the ice.” We haven’t spoken for a year so I just thought I would come over.’

The trio then went in to an awkward silence again as they all smiled with Fran saying goodbye and adding: ‘Well it was lovely to see you all anyway, yeah, bye.’

Talking after she went back to her friends, Amber said: ‘That was a nice surprise’ with Diags noting: ‘Yeah it was just a bit of a shock. We weren’t speaking, that was all, just a bit strange is all.’  

To which Dan joked that no ‘ex birds’ will be popping up on Diags’ 30th bucket list. 

After the episode aired, Fran took to Instagram to reveal she had lost 10lbs of weight as she shared a stunning selfie.

She penned: ’10 pounds down in weight and 10 years of @towie so why not celebrate with a selfie on @itvbe tonight at 9pm happy anniversary guys ❤️.’ 

Fans were quick to praise Fran for being so brave and persevering through the awkward reunion in the bar.      

Diags split with Fran back in 2017 when they had an acrimonious split after she initially joined TOWIE as his housemate.  

She had starred on The Only Way Is Essex for seven series and was known for her relationship with Diags. They had dated for three years, before confirming their split in September 2017.
