Twitter death threats made to Made in Chelsea star
Made In Chelsea star Gabriella Ellis has received death threats via the internet from viewers of the E4 reality show. The posh party girl - who has an ongoing feud with Cheska Hull in Made In Chelsea - has been targeted by internet trolls insulting her about the shape of her jaw, and blamed 'extreme' editing on the show for making her look 'bitchy', reports The Sun. Gabriella said: "I'm finding this series stressful - very stressful. I have had some death threats already. They have come through on Twitter. "The editing is extreme in this series. I think this time they have tried to make as much drama as possible. "It is a lot more bitchy and I think people are noticing that. "You just have to know that it is a show and there is editing and we aren't exactly what you see on camera and you haven't met us." But the 24-year-old aspiring singer isn't taking the cruel comments to heart. She said: "It is because of the way my teeth are aligned. I am going to have to have [my jaw] broken at some point and it will break my teeth away - it's scary! "I'm not doing it for the pressure or because of Twitter bullying. I'm going to postpone getting it done for as long as possible and not get it done for a long time."
