I WAS a child model. I did loads of catalogue work and was in a few TV adverts too.

My mum and dad still tell me I’m gorgeous and I get a lot of attention and compliments when I’m walking down the street.

But the one person who doesn’t appreciate me is my boyfriend.

He’s always saying that I’m “not all that”. He says my thighs are fat, my hair is thinning and that my best days are behind me.

He says I’m lucky I’ve got him because no-one else would put up with me. And he’s told me he could get a much better girl in a heartbeat.

I can’t remember the last time he said or did anything nice and our sex life is horrible. How come everyone says I’m attractive except him?

My friend thinks he’s deliberately trying to keep me down. Why would anyone be that cruel? JANE SAYS: Please see the light and dump this deeply unpleasant, insecure man.

The truth is that he is determined to crush your confidence and keep you down. He is absolutely no good for you.

You should be living life to the full and maximising your potential, not wallowing in self-doubt.

You know that when you look in the mirror you see a beautiful, unique person, so why can’t he celebrate you too?

I’ll tell you why – because he lacks confidence and is terrified of losing you.

Talk honestly to friends and family about making the break.

Get their support and don’t let anyone tell you you’re unattractive again.

The man’s a bully. You need to realise this is all about control.

Keeping you down makes him feel big.
