The redhead was seen kissing her boyfriend Lou in a series of snaps as she opened up about their story.

Captioning the post, she wrote: "Because I know a lot of people need to hear it.

"Sadly I get acne around my mouth area and when I tell you it made me feel so ugly and unloveable, I truly mean it.

"I used to look Lou straight in the eye and ask him how he could possibly find me attractive. When he would say that he did, I'd start an argument with him and accuse him of lying.

"He was never lying."

She added: "He loved me for me, regardless of what my skin look liked. I finally realise that now. He has truly taught me what true love should look like, the unconditional kind.

"You are loveable, kissable and you deserve the world, I PROMISE."

Fans were loving the post, as they admitted they had experienced similar situations.

One wrote: "I've had the same problem throughout my life, not believing I was beautiful or doubting my partner when they said I was, how sad to deny ourselves that love and affection."

A third chimed in: "I feel so seen, I would avoid kisses because they made me feel so insecure… That you for these posts, such lovely and much-needed reminders."

Izzie is known to talk a lot about her acne online, with her previously in tears over it as she suffered a confidence crisis over her skin.
