TOWIE's Joey Turner shares picture smoking in a crop top and claims 'size zero is sexy'

Joey Turner continued to cause concern among his Instagram followers after posting a photo smoking in a crop top on Sunday.

The former TOWIE star, 20, teamed a shirt featuring Courtney Love’s face with a pair of skinny silver trousers while clutching a silver handbag.

He shared the snap days after he posted a screenshot from a message reading: ‘Size zero is sexy ;),’ which added fuel to the growing anxiousness of his followers regarding his slimmed-down appearance.

Controversial: He wrote in his caption: ‘What would courtney love do?’

Smoking a cigarette, he leant against a black wall while wearing his bleached blonde locks in a sleek side parting.

Joey recently hit back at critics regarding his weight, telling The Sun: ‘I weigh seven and half stone, but I don’t weigh myself. I don’t care about how much I weigh. I am skinny, I can’t help that I am skinny. I am not going to apologise to anyone.’ 

Oh no! It comes just days after he posted a screenshot from a message reading: ‘Size zero is sexy ;),’ which added fuel to the growing anxiousness of his followers regarding his frame

Joey, who at 5ft 11ins has ‘always had a long, thin frame’, reaffirmed that there was nothing to worry about, seeing as he eats what he believes is a healthy diet.

During a typical day, Joey will enjoy a bowl of Special K, a salad for lunch and sushi for dinner. When out, he drinks vodka with water. 

‘I don’t eat loads. I am not really a foodie, that’s not me being anorexic, I just don’t care to participate in gluttony,’ he remarked.

The fashion lover – who said that his friends and family are aware of his eating habits and are not worried – questioned the double standards of body positivity, rhetorically asking if it just applies for bigger people.

Of the concern sparked about his thinner frame, Joey said he did understand, but has no intention of censoring his content and instead wants to embrace his body.

‘To put it bluntly – I can’t help being skinny. I am happy, healthy and have supportive people around me,’ he concluded.
