Ex On The Beach’s Holly Rickwood finds the funny side of being flour bombed on night out – but hits back at comment from love rival Jem Lucy
Tough cookie Holly has revealed details of the night and says that she now sees the funny side to the incident
HOLLY Rickwood has spoken out after being flour-bombed by hecklers on Thursday night - and revealed that she was more disappointed in Jemma Lucy than the assailants for joining in instead of sticking up for her.
The Ex on the Beach babes clearly have no love lost between them after coming to blows on last week's episode of the MTV show.
The blonde beauty was posing for pictures in a pink catsuit when a masked assailant struck – throwing a bowl of flour they had covered with a hat directly into her face and leaving her covered from head-to-toe.
Jem then took delight in the photographs of Holly, making a comment on Twitter that she "looked better that way".
Now, speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Holly responded: "Well, maybe if she went to the tattoo removal clinic and got all those tattoos taken off her face, I'd think she would look better that way!"
She later added: "There’s just been so much drama with me and Jemma, it’s just like, just when you think it’s coming to an end then someone will bring something back up.
"She is a prime example of what I’m trying to preach. She’s put herself in a reality show, probably getting all the same abuse. She should be backing me up as a fellow contestant on the show.
"She should be on my side and say ‘look, it’s not OK for people to do that’. I’m sure she’s getting a lot of abuse, coz I’ve seen it, not go in with them!"
"That just shows how much of a low degrading person she is."

She then added: "I know you put yourself out there and I know you get opinions from everyone and they’re gonna be good and bad but Just because we’re putting ourselves out there doesn’t mean it’s an invitation for people to say or do whatever they want."
Since the unfortunate incident, Holly has been re-tweeting the photos online after they went viral and turned into a meme - including getting comparisons to Kim Kardashian who has also been flourbombed in the past.
She laughed: "Honey, if getting flourbombed gets me compared to Kimmy K, then that is absolutely fine by me!"
But she admits she was initially shaken by the incident which started when she posed for photos outside her local pub.
Holly said that she was outside taking photographs but moved to an alley when she saw a group of boys heckling her.
She explained: "So he starts running down the alley, and I was like 'oh he's going to try and ruin the photo'. Then he actually started running towards me, and the next thing I know he’s thrown what felt like 14 tonnes of flour in my face."
"Literally I couldn’t breathe. The only thing I can explain what it was like was – have you ever done the cinnamon challenge? – It was like that but as soon as I opened my mouth and breathed, and it all went down my throat, I felt like I couldn’t breathe!
"It was like the driest experience."
Fortunately, Holly soon found the funny side of the incident, and has admitted that she's not going to press charges on the boys that floured her.
She said: "Literally it was eyelashes ruined – flour was all in the crevices of my bag… literally there was flour in every crevice of my body! Like places I didn’t even knew existed."
Holly then added: "Anyone knows me said I always look on the bright side. And I did start to think it was funny and I thought Kudos to whoever it was."
