Holly Hagan has revealed picking her wedding dress was one of the ‘most emotional days of my life’.

Sharing a snap in front of the boutique, Holly, 28, wrote: ‘Today I said yes to the dress. It’s been one of the most emotional days of my life for so many reasons. This symbolised more than just a dress for me.

‘It marks the end of a decade worth of sadness, heartbreak, trolling, lack of self worth and self respect.’ 

Holly propelled to fame on Geordie Shore back in 2011 and went on to spend thousands of pounds on surgery after being trolled over her looks. She found herself in a series of toxic relationships due to her lack of self confidence.

She explained: ‘I was never what people would call a ‘worldie’. But today I felt so much more than that.

‘I felt beautiful. Not just because of my appearance, but because of who I am and who I have become.

‘I believed the world when they told me No1 would ever want to marry someone like me.

‘I believed the ex’s who said no man would ever accept my past. But here I am, loved, wanted and respected every single day of my life. And the truth is I deserve every last bit of it ❤️

‘Thank you to the amazing women at @hummingbirdbridalstudio you have made all of my dreams come true’ (sic).

Holly later took to her Instagram stories and told her followers: ‘I feel like I just need to debrief after today because I’m so emotionally drained in a good way.

‘I think I’m a poster girl for those people whose lives are a bit of a mess and then showing it can come a full circle to be so happy, loved and respected today.

‘I just wanted to say no matter who you are, what you’ve done or how bad you think you might be. You deserve the best’.

The television star was set to secure her dream wedding venue in Ibiza this Spring, before coronavirus but a stop to her travel plans.

In May Holly shared a throwback snap of herself with Jacob in happier times, alongside a lengthy caption.

She mused: ‘Right about now we should be stepping off a flight in Ibiza to meet our planner and secure our dream wedding venue. I feel guilty for feeling sad about it when there’s so much going on right now.

‘But although this path has been placed on hold for awhile I promised myself I would use this time wisely.’

In December, Holly revealed she had postponed her wedding, admitting she had become overwhelmed with the pressure of planning so decided to ‘put it off a little bit’.
