Over the last year Charlotte Crosby has lost over two and a half stone, but the reality TV star has come under fire for this picture in which she appears to be very slim
One Twitter user commented that she thought Charlotte was ‘far to skinny [sic] whilst other commented on her Instagram pictures
One user on Twitter posted a picture of the star with the comment: ‘Charlotte Crosby is far to skinny! She’s promoting to girls that she has a “healthy body” [sic]’
Another commented on her Instagram: ‘I can guarantee you she starves herself to look like this.’
But Charlotte is not the only Newcastle resident to have lost weight.
Her co-stars Vicky Pattison, 27, Holly Hagan, 22, and Marnie Simpson have also all dropped the pounds over the past 12 months.

And the women aren’t afraid to show off their bodies. Vicky regularly posts then and now pictures of herself to her 1.6million Instagram followers charting her weight loss progress.
Holly and Marnie are the same. Sharing pictures of their super slim bodies, often in bikinis or skimpy outfits.
But have these girls taken things too far? Well, one doctor thinks they might. Dr PhD Marilyn Glenville told us that there is a lot of pressure on women in the media to try and stay thin.

Marnie Simpson said she felt compelled to lose weight after seeing that her fellow Geordie Shore Castmmates had dropped so many pounds
She said: ‘There is too much too much pressure as they are in the public eye and understandably want to look good but it may push them into unhealthy eating patterns in order to achieve that look.
‘Because of the pressure the weight loss can be taken too far and too fast as with many of the Geordie Shore girls.’
She continued: ‘When weight loss is very fast the body is encouraged to lose fat, muscle and water. Water is just a temporary loss and you also do not want to lose muscle.
‘And for women it is important not to lose too much fat, because then periods will stop and it can affect not only fertility but also increase the risk of problems like osteoporosis because the woman has lost the protection of the female hormones.’
Holly Hagan is the fourth Geordie Shore girl to dramatically lose weight, she had even posted a picture of herself trying out a waist trainer to Instagram (left)

Dr Marilyn also revealed that it is best for fans to stick away from following celebrities in their diets.
She said: ‘It is better to choose a plan to suit your body and to take into account whether you have a sedentary job or working away from home a lot so can’t control your food easily.
‘It will make a difference if you are very stressed and also how old you are because metabolism tends to slow down as we get older.
‘It is important that you choose a diet that suits your lifestyle, age and how you want to look so that you don’t end up looking and being too thin or causing health problems.’
However two of the girls have hit back at the criticism of their weight. Holly told the BBC: ‘What really annoys me is when I read articles and it’s like, “Holly lost three stone in one month” and that is giving such a wrong impression to the girls out there reading that and thinking, “Oh yeah I can lose three stone in one month”.
She continued: ‘They just pluck these figures out of thin air, and it shouldn’t be allowed to happen because that could have really damaging effects.’
Charlotte has also denied losing weight just for her DVD: ‘Sadly I just put weight on through loads of partying, drinking, having a boyfriend and eating takeaways every night,’ she said.
‘I don’t know why I would ever want to put weight on and look that fat and ugly. Why would anyone ever want to do that? It’s so stupid that people even say that.’
