A glamour model who was bullied at school insists history is repeating itself as vile internet trolls now torment her online.
Apollonia Llewellyn, 20, gets inundated with countless abusive messages and comments blasting her appearance and conduct – especially since she started page three modelling.
The beauty said she’s been branded a “fat w***e”, immoral, an attention seeker and a prolific cheat – despite being in a relationship with boyfriend Billy Mole since she was 15.
Now she’s speaking out about the trolls to shed light on cyber bullying and urge people of the consequences.

Apollonia, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said: “I get nasty messages all the time, it's crazy. You'd think at my age I'd be past all this but it's not just teenagers – it's grown men and women taking the time to do it.
"If I said things like that to someone I probably wouldn't be able to sleep as I'd feel so bad, I don't understand what makes them write comments like that.”
In an emotional Facebook post, Apollonia wrote: "Can I just clarify: 1. I have only ever had one man and that's my Billy who I have been with since I was 15, so I don't know where they get this rubbish from.
"2. I am a size 6-8! But do I need to justify myself? What if I did have lots of men? What if I was fat? Why do people need to comments such horrible comments day in day out?
"But they would be the first to share all the suicides from 2019… FUNNY! Because they are the type of people to cause this! Absolutely disgusting."

Apollonia endured years of bullying at school and claims the family home was regularly pelted with stones and eggs – and she was even sent death threats through the post.
The situation was so distressing that Apollonia's worried parents Paula Llewellyn, 49, and John Llewellyn, 60, sold their house and relocated to one with a private driveway.
Apollonia said: "The bullying started when I was around 10, with girls calling me fat and ugly. I didn't go to the local high school so I could have a fresh start and everything was fine until in year nine, at the age of 14, when I did my first ever mum and daughter photoshoot for Mother's Day.
"The photographer said I was really photogenic and that I should sign with an agency and then after that first shoot girls started telling me I loved myself.
"I got called a sl*g even though I'd never even kissed a boy. I was pinned up against trees, I had stones and eggs thrown at the house and was sent death threats through the post, it was awful."

After moving schools, the beauty said the bullying stopped and her confidence blossomed as she took part in, and won, beauty pageants which is when she was booked for more modelling jobs.
In the six years since Apollonia first started modelling, she's scooped a beauty pageant title and become a successful model and influencer, racking up more than 100,000 fans on social media.
Since starting glamour modelling last year, Apollonia revealed that history has started to repeat itself but the bullying has moved from the playground to the internet.
Apollonia said: "In 2017 I won World Teen Supermodel England and from there I gained lots of followers on social media and now do collaborations with brands on there.
"The sexual comments escalated after I started doing the page three work. I would get men sending 20 messages at a time at 3am, asking when I'm going to start doing porn and sending pictures of their bits, which I don't like to see."

Now Apollonia is sharing her experience to highlight the damage comments can do and is urging people to think before they type.
She concluded: "I'm only human, it does affect me but I try and think of the positive side. They don't know me, they're taking the time out of their day to write this stuff – I just feel sorry for them as they must have issues in their own lives to be doing that.
"My mum and dad are so proud of what I've achieved, they're always the ones that drive and motivate me, and my boyfriend Billy has always been really nice and supportive about my work.
"I just want to show any girls on my social media that if they receive comments like that to tell them they'll be okay – the people writing these comments are just trolls and they don't know you personally.
"I would urge anyone writing these kinds of things to think twice before they send messages or leave comments as they don't know what the consequences might be."
