Towie’s Chloe Lewis defended by fans after she’s cruelly trolled over first-ever tattoo

CHLOE Lewis has been flooded with nasty comments after showing off her first ever tattoo.

The ex-Towie star revealed her new inking in photos on Instagram and revealed the design on the inside of her upper arm.

Chloe, 32, captioned her snaps: "So today this happened… first for everything & I absolutely love it. (Not an ad or gifted just sharing with you all incase anyone wants one)."

But she was cruelly trolled by fans who accused her of lacking "class" by going for a permanent tattoo.

One replied: "Noooooo way you was so classy, look at all classy women in world ..helen mirren, kate priness of wales, taylor swift, kim kardashian... tattoos not classy fact gutted for you now."

"Really don’t like tattoos. I think it’s something that many regret having done.";

Others quickly rushed to her defence, and one said: "Oh FFS the comments on here. Scroll on , it’s her body. She didn’t kill anyone it’s a tattoo. Get over it."

And another wrote: "Doesn’t change her class. If you haven’t got a nice thing to say then don’t say anything at all."

And one more pointed out: "Helen Mirren has a tattoo!"

In fact, Dame Helen Mirren, has her eyebrows tattooed on and has another tattoo on her hand, which she had to cover up when playing The Queen.

Chloe - who now works as a model and cosmetics company founder -  joined Towie in 2015.

She was a series 14 addition along with Dan Edgar and didn't see eye to eye with Megan McKenna.

She returned for series 23 which started in 2018, yet quit a year later.

Since her TV fame she has been keeping up her profile on social media, recently revealing her stunning family home.

She was criticised by some for showcasing her lavish 30th birthday celebrations in Dubai back in 2021 during the pandemic.
