The Apprentice alum, 38, celebrated her "endless summer of fun" on her Instagram page, with two stylish swim pictures.

Her images, taken with the help of a mirror in a white-walled dressing room, saw her accessorise with a pair of sunglasses and pendant necklace. Yet after hitting upload, the 2013 BBC show star and CBB contestant was hit with a slew of vile remarks, which ranged from calling her "malnourished" to urging her to eat a "Greggs steak bake." One unkind Instagram user wrote: "I mean this genuinely, and I'm no Greek god but you genuinely look unhealthy and very malnourished…" A second posted: "Appreciate you feel good and happy but younger girls watching and aspiring may follow suit and this isn't good for anyone…" A third then put: "Babe always thought you were fit, but a little tooooooo slim my love xxx." One then added: "Could do with a good meal. May I suggest a Greggs steak bake followed by a Vanilla slice." Another remarked: "You need a good feed girl." Yet after spotting the comments on her feed, the brunette took the keyboard bullies to task directly. Luisa Zissman breaks down in tears over 'majestic' horse's death and says she got him stuff because she 'couldn't bear not to see him again' She headed to her Instagram Stories for a text post which read: "The comments on this holiday bikini pic. "Imagine I went round calling of you biscuit eating McDonald's loving lazy people fatties' and insisted her body is the result of 'energetic, health and mostly clean living'. Luisa, who is more than entitled to defend herself from the hurtful remarks, wrote: 'If you got off your a***s and stopped shoving s**t in your mouths you wouldn't be as fat and fat wouldn't be normal. "Just because the majority of people are overweight does NOT mean it's healthy." She added: "Shocking that when people see a healthy body with a healthy BMI in a healthy weight range they think it's not normal." STANDING ON BUSINESS Luisa continued to fight her corner on her second Instagram Stories slide. In it, she wrote in white text on a black background: "And no, I'm not sorry for my comments it's TRUE. "I'm stronger than most of you mo*fos, I can do endless press ups, pulls ups, I lift weights… "I can do sit ups until the cows come home and all you can do is comment that I'm unhealthy when you're craving Greggs at 8am when your lazy a***s wakes up…. 'So go f**k yourselves. The world is a sad place when everyone is normalising being a fat b*****d and having your organs surrounded by layers of fat is normal. "OBESITY IS THE NHS BIGGEST COST. Then you all moan you can't get a doctors appt." FAN SUPPORT Away from the trolling, Luisa's fans and famous faces were quick to support her. One pal posted: "Having met you in real life last week, I know you look fit, healthy and strong! Haters gonna hate." Former MIC star Ashley James then posted: "Looking at the comments - normalise not discussing people's weight." A fan then posted: "I just saw the response to the dumbass comments on this post and its made me love you even more! "Yea Luisa! Yes! bloody love you and your raw comebacks! You look and ARE amazing!!!" After her Apprentice fame, Luisa went on to star in Celebrity Big Brother 13 where she came fourth. The Milton Keynes born star then became a panelist on spin off show, Big Brother's Bit On The Side before launching her own podcast with Anna Williamson. Her career success and hard work has seen her scoop a plush £7.5million mansion. 6 She called out the 'lazy fatties' who had made unkind comments about her body shape Credit: Getty 6 The CBB alum defended herself and told how she was a healthy BMI Credit: Splash 6 She starred in the 2013 Apprentice series Credit: PA:Press Association

‘Wearing pyjamas in public is a win for me' – fashion editors reveal how they'll wear the controversial lingerie trend
SLIP into something more comfortable for summer - from the lingerie department. You might have blitzed Netflix's Too Much sitcom series, written by Lena Dunham and noticed the main character loves a nightie. Well, she's one of the many who are bringing back the staple nightwear. John Lewis & Partners reports searches for "nightdress" are up 21% and sales are up 14% - and JL's £34 white seersucker nightie is the most popular this summer. Other high-end brands have seen an uptake in sales, too. And it's not just for after dark - celebrities Sabrina Carpenter, Bella Hadid and Rihanna are wearing nighties as a part of their summer wardrobe. The best bit? They're perfect for heatwave weather when you need something light and breathable and, most importantly, don't want anything sticking to your skin. The Fabulous fashion team reveal how they will wear theirs. Abby McHale, 31, Deputy Fashion Editor I love how feminine this style of dressing is, but there is a thin line between it looking stylish and just looking like you're wearing a nightie! So I've opted for this black lace halterneck-style top from Zara. Fashion lovers rush to M&S to snap up perfect pumps that are 'so pretty' for summer - and they come in various colours to match your vibe It can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and the black shade means it's great as we head into A/W. Because this hemline is asymmetric with the lace detailing at the bottom, you can also add a knit over the top like this cardigan from & Other Stories, which means if you want to layer, it's a chic way of still seeing the top underneath. Pairing with a poplin midi skirt, and finishing with ballet flats and a bag. Emily Regan, 25, Fashion Assistant I'm completely on board with this trend, anything that's socially acceptable and feels like wearing pyjamas in public is a win for me. I already own a few dresses in this style, but this one from Rixo really caught my eye with its gorgeous print and ruffle detailing, At just 5ft tall, I find mini dresses like this are great for elongating my legs. I've paired the dress with red ballet pumps and floral necklaces to complement the print, added a sturdy bucket bag and finished the look off with tinted sunglasses and a gorgeous raffia bucket hat. This summer look would work just as well for a Euro getaway or a garden party as it would for a casual shopping day. I love how versatile this dress is, although it's slightly more expensive at £135, it is a piece that you could style all year round. It would look equally as great in the winter, paired with some sheer tights and boots, layered underneath a jacket. Clemmie Fieldsend, 35, Fashion Editor My usual sleepwear go-to is an XL men's T-shirt or a satin two-piece, so wearing a nightie during the day is very out of my comfort zone. However, I'm fully on board with this boho-inspired trend that's come just in time for the heatwave. This dress from H&M ticks the nightwear box with its sheer fabric and fluidity - even if it's more A Christmas Carol than 50 Shades Of Grey - and for me, it has to have sleeves, and I love the addition of the petal detailing. I wear mine with a pair of simple straight-cut jeans underneath and continue the nod to boho with suede and my favourite Next flip-flops and slouchy grab bag from Dune. Sometimes I wear a belt to create more definition in my silhouette, but when it's hot - no, thank you. Topped off with brown sunnies and I'm ready for the sunshine. Fashion tips to make you look rich Fashion Tips to Elevate Your Look Invest in Classic Pieces --Quality Over Quantity: Prioritise well-made, timeless items like a tailored blazer, a little black dress, or a crisp white shirt. Neutral Colors: Opt for neutral shades such as black, white, beige, and navy, which are versatile and exude sophistication. Accessorize Wisely Statement Pieces: Invest in a few high-quality accessories like a designer handbag, a classic watch, or elegant jewelry. Minimalist Approach: Less is more. Choose one or two standout accessories to avoid looking cluttered. Tailoring is Key Perfect Fit: Tailored clothing can make even affordable items look high-end. Ensure your clothes fit perfectly by having them altered if necessary. Maintain Your Wardrobe Iron and Steam: Wrinkled clothes can ruin an outfit. Keep your garments wrinkle-free with regular ironing or steaming. Proper Care: Follow care instructions to keep your clothes looking new. Dry clean when necessary and store items properly. Footwear Matters Quality Shoes: Invest in a few pairs of high-quality shoes. Classic pumps, loafers, and sleek boots can elevate any outfit. Conditioning: Keep your shoes in good condition by cleaning and polishing them regularly. Monochrome Outfits Single Color Palette: Dressing in one color or varying shades of a single color can make you look polished and put-together. Attention to Detail Grooming: Well-groomed hair, nails, and skin are crucial. A polished appearance starts with personal care. Subtle Makeup: Opt for a natural makeup look that enhances your features without overpowering them. Layering Sophisticated Layers: Layering can add depth and interest to your outfit. Think blazers over blouses, or sweaters over shirts. Confidence is Key Own Your Look: Confidence can make any outfit look more expensive. Stand tall and wear your clothes with pride. By incorporating these tips into your fashion routine, you can effortlessly achieve a luxurious and sophisticated look without breaking the bank.

The 'stealth shoppers' keeping pricey secrets from their partners - and what it says about their relationships
Hanging in Sally's* cupboard is a £3,000 Dior coat. It is also a secret, and her husband doesn't know about it. "It has yet to make an outing. It will do shortly," she tells Money. "I got the assistant to put it on hold for three months. I saved and bought it without my partner knowing about it. I did not need another coat as I have several." And while he has spotted it in her cupboard - though not on any bank statements because they keep separate accounts - he has never said anything. "It's not going to surprise him, as things do appear, and my wardrobe has investment pieces in it," she says, clarifying that investment usually translates to "expensive". "If he had to guess the value of my wardrobe, he would guess within £10,000 of the value. His guess would be conservative." According to a recent survey, nearly two-thirds of Americans who live with a spouse or significant other have hidden a purchase in the past year - known as "stealth shopping" - and it seems Britons are no different. Brands even sometimes encourage it - the upmarket Fairfax & Favor has an "alibi box" you can tick when you place an order. "We'll include a tongue-in-cheek cunning little note saying your goodies are a competition prize or gift - pick your excuse and they need never know the truth," the brand promises. 'He hoped I wouldn't notice the TV had grown overnight' For Alice*, a woman in her 40s living in Devon, it was her husband who tried to sneak a new television into the house. "He told our daughter he'd bought a new, bigger TV for Christmas and not to tell Mummy," she says, explaining that he waited until she had fallen asleep before getting it out of the car and swapping it with their old one. "He hoped I just wouldn't notice the TV had grown in size overnight." After a discussion, she says she eventually dropped it, instead using it as a bargaining tool to get him to remove their surround sound. "I think it's about choosing your battles," she says. "I wasn't going to win this but I could get something I wanted out of it. "He knew I would never have agreed to the new TV if we'd discussed the purchase." 'When I do spend, I feel a bit guilty' Natalie says she doesn't think her husband would even care, but she still finds herself downplaying her purchases, with one of the latest being tickets to the Strictly Come Dancing live shows. "My boys are obsessed with Strictly and it's one of the few things we all watch together as a family. For the four of us, it was £340, which is the most I've ever spent on tickets for an event," she tells Money. "I know my husband would think it's outrageous, so I told him it was 'reasonable' and he didn't ask the exact price." Natalie downplays purchases, she says, because she doesn't want to justify the cost if she has "consciously researched and thought about what I am buying". In part, she attributes this to her upbringing - she grew up in a working-class family that didn't have much extra money. "My parents always saved for holidays and spent any extra cash on that, so they didn't spend on 'luxuries' or expensive things - even now they love a bargain," she says. "I think that made me quite frugal with money sometimes. So when I do spend on something I consider to be a luxury or an investment, I feel a bit guilty even though I'm not spending more than I can afford." Natalie also struggles with the wage disparity between her and her husband. She runs a small business and also works for a charity, taking home about 25% of the salary her husband, a lawyer, does (they both pool the majority of their money together in a joint account). "I do more of the childcare and household stuff and when my children were younger, I worked part-time to be around more for them," she says. "So we are both contributing in different ways but financially I'll never earn as much as him. Why we do it... 'Money isn't just about numbers' Catherine Morgan, a financial coach, author and wellbeing speaker, says hiding purchases can be a way of avoiding difficult conversations about our financial values. "The relationship we have with money is really a mirror reflection of the relationship we have with ourselves," she says. "Therefore, the need to hide purchases often stems from our deep-rooted emotional relationship with money. "When we hide purchases, we're usually not just concealing the items themselves, but responding to underlying feelings of shame, guilt or fear of judgement. "We worry what people might say, which will often exaggerate these feelings. Money isn't just about numbers - it's deeply intertwined with our identity, values, and a deep sense of security." It can be a "significant issue", she says, as it may signal "deeper challenges" in a relationship. And while the odd pair of shoes may not seem a problem, hiding purchases can be problematic when it starts to affect your emotional wellbeing, with warning signs including anxiety, guilt and consistently hiding purchases and bank statements. Your relationship with money Like all relationships, our one with money can always be "healed and improved", Morgan says. She recommends exploring what triggers your spending habits and what emotions arise when you feel the need to hide purchases. "Often it comes alongside feelings of boredom, stress or even hunger," she says. "Understanding your nervous system's response to money matters is crucial. "When we feel financial shame or anxiety, our body often goes into a stress response - heart racing, shallow breathing or feeling overwhelmed. "Learning to recognise these physical signs can help you pause before making impulsive purchases. "Simple practices like deep breathing or taking a mindful moment before spending can help regulate your nervous system and create space for more conscious financial decisions."
