She explains that online trolls target her over her toned body, which she often shows off in selfie shots that she posts on sites like Instagram.

Chloe insists some of the threats are too repulsive to repeat, but she reveals the threats begin around 5am every day.

She told the Mail Online: "It's as if hey have to get it off their chest before they can get on with their day."

Chloe went on to explain that the sick trolls have threatened her life and even suggested she deserves to be raped.

The most graphic threats come form one troll in particular.

She added: "He or she, I don't know which, threatens me with rape, death and pretty much anything you can think of in between.

"It's very graphic.... I don't want the words to come out of my mouth."

Chloe insists she has feared for her safety since the barrage of abuse began, but is now determined not to read the nasty messages.

She declared: "With this one person, it's never stopped. When it first started it was scary and I worried about my safety...

"Now, I block it. I don't read the messages. I don't engage."

She is not alone - the trolls also have been targeting her loved ones, including her rugby player boyfriend, her parents and her brothers.

However, Chloe refuses to let the trolls bring her down about her body - as she is very proud of what she has achieved.

She explained: "I just love my muscles. Partly because I like how I look, and partly because weight training saved me."
