Friends of Celebrity Big Brother star Chloe Goodman have told MailOnline she cancelled her dream trip to Bali with footballer husband Grant Hall, 32, after being relentlessly trolled due to her association with her sister Lauryn.
But the feud between the siblings – who live close by to each other in East Sussex – intensified over Chloe’s claims Lauryn’s behaviour sparked both unwanted attention and severe trolling in her own life, ‘ruining’ her nuptials and proposed honeymoon.
Chloe’s friends say the online abuse got worse after Lauryn gave birth to her second child with Kyle last April behind his wife Annie Kilner’s back.
Trolling rocketed after Lauryn travelled to Germany with her two children Kairo, four, and Kinara, four months in a bid to watch Kyle play for England at the Euros.
A friend said: ‘Chloe and her husband were due to go on their honeymoon at the beginning of July.’

But the feud between the siblings intensified over claims Lauryn’s behaviour sparked both unwanted attention and severe trolling, ‘ruining’ her Chloe’s wedding (pictured together in 2018)
They continued: ‘They had planned a beautiful trip to Bali for a week. Chloe had a lot of stress when her wedding pictures were leaked, which wasn’t Lauryn’s fault, but it was certainly a consequence of her fling with Kyle.
‘Chloe had to spend thousands of pounds for extra security so that her and Grant plus their guests could enjoy the day without intrusion, but unfortunately that didn’t happen.’
On the trolling Chloe’s received, the friend added: ‘After Lauryn went to Germany, Chloe was heavily trolled and showed no signs of slowing down so she took matters into her own hands and cancelled her honeymoon as she wouldn’t have been to relax and enjoy it as a newlywed with all of this going on in the background.’
MailOnline has contacted Lauryn’s representative for comment.
Chloe and Lauryn fell out after she covered up her second affair with Kyle – and they’re still not speaking.
Reality star Chloe, who shares two children Isla, four, and Hudson, two, with husband Grant, claims she had no idea the pair had embarked on a new relationship until Lauryn fell pregnant with her second baby with Kyle.
She had been assured Lauryn had resumed contact with Kyle so he could see son Kairo without Annie knowing.
Speaking previously, Chloe said: ‘I was shocked when I found out Lauryn was pregnant a second time because I didn’t know they had rekindled things.
‘I knew Kyle had been seeing Kairo privately and I was happy because all children should have a father in their lives.’

She added: ‘I hadn’t asked him if he was back seeing my sister, because I’d assumed nothing was happening.
‘Lauryn hadn’t told me either. I told her, “I have no sympathy for you and Kyle now.”‘
Chloe told how she has not properly spoken to Lauryn since Boxing Day when her sister sent Annie a bombshell text message revealing Kyle was the father of her daughter.
She has tried to ensure her children maintain a relationship with their cousins, but her relationship with her sister remains incredibly strained.
On uninviting Lauryn and her two children to her nuptials, Chloe said: ‘Grant proposed to me in 2019 and we started planning the wedding in 2022.
‘We’re a close-knit family and I asked Lauryn to be my bridesmaid. But in the build-up to the wedding, we just weren’t getting on.
‘It’s like having a friend that will never take your advice and you must suffer the consequences.’

Chloe continued: ‘I eventually realised I had to be selfish to protect my own family.
‘I stand by my decision because I don’t think the wedding was the best place for Kairo and Kinara and I will explain that to them when they are older.
‘Lauryn and I were constantly arguing about multiple things. I didn’t agree with the decision to take the kids to the Euros because it was not safe for them given everything that was going on.
‘I do feel awful, and I wish I could have had them all there, but I know I made the right decision.’
