Georgia Kousoulou is "really struggling" to cope with the harsh criticism surrounding her cosmetic surgery.
The 26-year-old television personality has recently gone under the knife to have her nose reshaped because she was unhappy with her appearance, but after pictures emerged of the ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star filming with her new facial feature she has received a large amount of negative comments, which is highly "upsetting" for the star.
A source told The Sun Online: "Georgia is really struggling with the criticism.
"People comments are so hurtful she is struggling with the criticism. It’s upsetting for her."
The reality star feels "forced" to show off her new feature before it has fully healed because she is due to film the upcoming festive series of the ITVBe show, although her face is still "very bruised".
The insider continued: "She feels like she has been forced to reveal her new nose before it has 100 per cent healed because she is filming and has to work.
"It is still very bruised and will take another few weeks till you see the final results.
"Right now she’s not ready to talk about her procedure but in time she’ll want to discuss why she had it done."
And Georgia’s boyfriend and fellow co-star, Tommy Mallet, has taken to social media to defend his girlfriend after trolls have slammed her for having the procedure.
Alongside an image of Georgia, which she posted on her Instagram account, Tommy wrote two lengthy comments.
The fashion designer said: "Comments like that are the reason people in Georgias positions change themselves.. Every time she had a argument on the show she had people pointing out insecurities that she already had so she changed it… That is your opinion.. You should just keep it to yourself if you feel like it’s going to bother someone… It’s her body, her life, her Instagram she can do what she wants… If it makes her happy
"She still is a advocate to young girls and older girls… it’s 2017 and if you feel strong about something and feel like you need a change then do it!! Get with it people she wanted to do it now she done it.. Have a opinion but atleast be respectful enough to keep it to yourself she is a normal young woman with feelings just because she’s in the public eye I feel like people forget this and have to have a opinion (sic)."
