Liberty Poole has confessed that she was left on the verge of tears after she was abused by a group of men at the airport.
The Birmingham native, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2021, took to her Instagram stories to detail the uncomfortable situation as she admitted that she had to hold herself together from sobbing after the group of 'lads' hurled abuse at her.
The 23-year-old reality TV star said the incident made her feel 'like sh**' on Friday morning as she excitedly arrived at the airport ahead of a trip.
Sharing her experience in an eye-opening video, Liberty explained: "I just wanted to come on and speak about my experience that happened tonight.
"I went to the airport and I literally went with no lashes, no foundation, I was really stripped back and just me.

"I was verbally abused by a group of lads in public, shouting at me, 'You've gone down hill since Love Island, you're such a catfish'.
Liberty went on: "They were going onto the plane and telling members of staff, 'Have you seen Liberty?' just because I went to the airport stripped back.
"I want people to know that, social media, you're going to post your best pictures but you're not always going to be glam or on top form.

"I'm unfiltered and stripped back and this is me, and I'm not ashamed and I'm not going to be ashamed to be myself."
The Love Island star added that during the flight a number of women came up to her to 'take photos' before telling Liberty that they would 'put a filter on her'.
"Thank you to those people that made me feel like s**t and I cried, but I'll pick myself back up because I'm a boss b****h," the brave star added.
