Hannah Norburn has opened up about the cruel online trolling she faced after appearing on the show, revealing it led to a significant weight loss.
The Married at First Sight Star, 23, caused up a stir on series nine after getting involved with three different husbands before she dramatically quitting the show.
In a new interview, the personal trainer has spoken out about the online backlash and how it affected her.
Speaking to TOWIE’s Bobby Norris on his Access All Areas podcast on Wednesday, she said: ‘I will never be able to describe the emotions and how hard that was.
‘I lost nearly a stone weight because I literally just didn’t eat. I was so stressed.
‘For me, I think because I did come in late, I mixed the show up. I turned it all on its head. I p*ssed everyone off.

‘I got it really, really hard, and I think the only thing that makes me feel really proud of myself is I genuinely don’t give a sh*t what people think about me.’
She continued: ‘The weird thing for me was people coming for your appearance, and I was like I can understand you coming from my character and my personality, because that’s on telly, but what I look like is kind of irrelevant.
‘I was getting like, everyone was like, ‘Your ears are huge.’ And I’m like, ‘No, they are, they actually are.’
‘But I’m not bothered if the worst thing about me is my ears are massive. I couldn’t give a sh*t.’
Despite facing online trolling, Hannah expressed gratitude to Channel 4 for their ongoing support throughout the difficult time.
She explained: ‘I do feel very, very, very looked after by the show, even up until this day, I could ring someone right now and say, I’m in a pickle. I need some help, and that’s amazing that they look after you that well.’
Hannah previously recalled her ‘absolute hell’ of a girls’ night when she appeared on the reality dating show last year.
She joined the show as one of the latecomer intruder brides, initially tying the knot with Stephen Nolson, 33.

However, their marriage quickly crumbled when she was caught kissing Orson Nurse, 41, behind their co-stars’ backs.
Hannah then stunned viewers by arriving at the reunion hand in hand with Ryan Livesey, 28.
The reality star lifted the lid on her nightmare girls’ night out after her huge fall out with the fellow brides.
The fitness fanatic recalled being ‘screamed at for four hours’ by the girls at the reunion and insisted the explosive episode was ‘watered down in the edit.’
She told The Sun: ‘It was four hours of absolute hell on earth for me and I was being screamed at by every single girl apart from Emma [Barnes] and Amy [Kenyon].
‘Every single one of the girls came for me at some point. Lacey was being quite bad and got watered down a little bit. It was over and over and I cried and it was horrible.’
She added: ‘I’m trying to move on, but it is really unfair for these girls to get away with how they’ve treated people. I feel like I got bullied by the girls on the show and had a terrible experience because of that.’
A Channel 4 spokesperson has said: ‘The show is a fair and accurate reflection of events during filming.’

The show came to an explosive ending last week when the contestants reunited for two reunion episodes.
The Channel 4 series was hit with over 500 Ofcom complaints after leaving viewers disgusted by ‘bullying’ and rows.
After the dinner party aired the regulator received 341 complaints and Thursday’s final episode saw 187.
Hannah’s return did not go down well with the other girls who started a huge argument, which later continued to the final commitment ceremony.
She had angered the female members of the cast who accused her of flirting with their husbands following the failure of her own marriage.
She moved on to Orson and the pair shared a passionate kiss in secret.
Stephen also attempted to form new connections in the group by showing an interest in Sionainn, who quickly knocked back his advances.
But it wasn’t until filming the series had finished that Hannah and Ryan got to know each other away from the cameras and formed a close connection.
They agreed to attend the reunion together despite knowing their ex-partners would be present.
