A woman who is best friends with ‘Britain’s most hated woman’ has revealed what she’s actually like.
Carla Bellucci often hits the headlines for her controversial and bizarre takes.
From faking depression to get a nose job on the NHS, to charging her own kids £250 each to dine with her on Christmas Day, it’s no wonder she’s been given the harsh title.

But Vicky, 42, says the 44-year-old isn’t what she’s made out to be in the press.
And after being best friends for over a decade, she’s hoping to put the record straight.
“The version of Carla often presented bears little resemblance to the person I know,” Vicky, from Norfolk, told Need To Know.
“She is kind, caring and deeply sensitive behind closed doors.
“Carla is also sensible and fiercely loyal.
“It’s been really tough watching her be labelled as ‘Britain’s most hated woman’.”
Vicky and Carla met when the former glamour model owned a talent and modelling agency.
She had been holding interviews for a potential sportswear shoot when they immediately hit it off.
Since then, they’ve shared VIP nights out in London and Las Vegas and partying with A-list celebrities, as well as private moments that have cemented their friendship.
Vicky said: “I’ve been Carla’s shoulder to cry on when she’s been distressed and in tears about false headlines.
“Or from the relentless public scrutiny.
“While it is fair to say she plays up to the cameras, it’s often in an attempt to defend herself, rather than provoke controversy.
“But it only appears to intensify the backlash.”
Vicky believes people have made their opinion on Carla based on her first interview in 2019.
And they aren’t open to changing this.
She added: “She’s far more complex than the person that has been presented to the public.
“If she were given the opportunity to appear in a reality television setting, people would finally see the authentic woman behind the headlines.
“The one that is deserving of compassion.
“And her greatest ambition isn’t the fame; it’s how she’s become a good wife and a devoted mum.
“I wish people would see the Carla that I do.”
The 44-year-old recently turned heads after backing the social media ban for under 16s; despite wanting her daughter, Tanisha, 20, to become a social media star.
She shared her regret behind the decision and hopes that things will change in the future to protect kids.
