In a twist, Paloma Faith responded by sharing that she herself had been bullied, commenting on her own struggles during school, which came out just days after Natalie's claims.
Natalie reiterated that she was targeted because other kids at school were "jealous" of her role on EastEnders, which she landed at the young age of 10.
