In a lengthy post uploaded to her stories, Lucy wrote: ‘I understand people are angry, upset and frustrated at the moment. These are unpredictable and unfortunate times, with disappointment around every corner.
‘However, I will not accept anyone taking out their frustration on me, be it during a pandemic or not.
‘Hateful comments will be deleted and always have been, regardless of their relation to Covid. I want my feed to be a positive place, and although some people feel like I’ve broken the rules, I have not.

‘I left London pre tier 4 and followed all necessary precautions in Barbados. I was and am still negative for Covid. I’ve 3 tests in the last 3 weeks.
‘This was not a last minute trip booked just to escape the U.K. This was a trip that had been booked for nearly a year, James’s family spend half their time in Barbados and we go there every other Christmas.
‘Regardless of the above, I truly hope I have not offended anyone, that is never my intention. Please take care of yourself and your mental health. We will get through this.’
Lucy flew out with fiancé James, her sister Tiffany and dad Clive just before Tier 4 restrictions were imposed.
At the time London was in Tier 3, with residents advised not to take holidays abroad.
It comes after Lucy took to Instagram on Thursday to hit back at a social media user who asked if she was pregnant as she coined a cutting response.
After a fan simply penned: ‘Pregnant?’ she swiftly responded: ‘Seriously?’

Fellow critics quickly swarmed upon the commentator and lashed out at the comment given Lucy’s tiny frame in the picture of her taut stomach.
The reality star took to her Instagram Stories, explaining that being asked if she’s pregnant is ‘socially unacceptable’.
She said: ‘It is not and will never be socially acceptable to ask someone if they are pregnant, whether you know them or not. You are basically telling that person they look bigger. Please stop.’
Lucy became engaged to her boyfriend of five years James in September last year after he popped the question during a romantic getaway in Greece.
The couple have been going strong ever since meeting on the E4 series back in 2015, following her ill-fated flings with Andy Jordan, Jamie Laing, Spencer Matthews and Oliver Proudlock.
