“I don’t really trust him anymore, you should be able to trust your friends.”

Shelby TOWIE pregnant story comes with happiness but behind the happy mom-to-be, there is a horrible past that she struggles to forget.
Shelby was bullied by her classmates for her flat chest and moles when she was studying at Notre Dame in Plymouth leading her to boob job, Botox, and lip fillers.
Sadly, she didn’t stand up for herself and her bullies kept on bullying her. Worse, someone even hit her once and she found out that her own friends egged her on to do it.
Unable to deal with it all, she used to cry to her mum constantly. It is heartbreaking that she is affected by the bullying even now as an adult. Every time she looks in the mirror she thinks that she is not good enough.
“Being flat-chested used to really bother me. As a teenager, I used to put fillers in my bra.”

Shelby went through procedures that caused her great pain and she decided to not go back for more treatments.
Originally, she intended to take her lip filler out and put some back once it settled down.
Ostensibly, Sam loved her new look after taking out the lip fillers and was suggesting that she should not put it back in.
Apart from Sam’s positive affirmations regarding her look without fillers, Shelby also received messages from other girls in similar boats.
“I’ve had messages from girls saying they had filler as they thought it would make them feel more confident but now I’ve inspired them to realise they don’t need it anymore.”
Triumphantly, Shelby started embracing her natural look and love herself more. She ditched her fake lashes, toned down her hair to soft brown and removed her hair extensions.
“Even now I am still learning to really love myself and not care what people think.”
Undoubtedly, Shelby is all set to be a wonderful mum to her baby boy.
