ITV Love Island's Faye Winter claps back as 'skinny shaming' as she stuns in metallic swimsuit display after Teddy Soares split

Faye Winter has clapped back at those who have 'skinny shamed' her as she posed for a series of snaps in a metallic swimsuit. The former Love Island star looked stunning as she posed for images in the pool at the luxury Londoner Hotel.

She could be seen rocking the sparkly purple swimwear while her long blonde locks had been pulled into a slick ponytail with strands to frame her face. And she shared a powerful message about body positivity after being subject to unnecessary comments.

Faye wrote: "They'll say I'm too skinny, they'll say I'm too loud, they'll say my appearance has changed but I'll say I'm me and I'm proud of myself for never changing my soul."

Faye's former Love Island co-star Liberty Poole was quick to respond to the post, writing: "Unreal" while former Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown said: "Girl you are everything! Never change ." And fans were also supporting her message and said their own comments of support.

@rvikki85 said: "Yessss girl. Do you and screw the rest. Ya can’t win with the haters the lovers or the fighters and why should you. Your a human not a robot. Keep doing you." @all.about.evan shared: "Thin shaming is just as bad as fat shaming, it’s never cool to comment on someone’s size. You look incredible, beautiful inside and out."

@the_real_jagun commented: "I don’t comment more once very often on your posts and I just want to say that you are real one and you don’t need me to tell you to don’t change for anyone because you know that already, never settle or compromise who you are to please others because you’re worth it."

@dontgobrokeuk shared: "Tbh I love your straight talking & that you are who you are. People tend to want everyone to blend in but in actual fact some of us are meant to stand out." @maria_moloneyy added: "You are stunning, and you have a great character, which is the most important thing in life."

It comes after Faye spoke out about her split from Teddy Soares, who she met on Love Island in 2021. She told OK! Magazine that the pressure that accompanied their 18-month romance became too much to bear.

The 27-year-old told the publication: "We’re from very different worlds and we were trying to build a relationship in this very high-pressure environment. We got moulded together, but we had different dreams and ambitions and I had to respect Teddy’s."

Faye added: "We were so similar and we got on so well – he’ll forever have a very special place in my heart – and it feels like I’m grieving someone."
