The 29-year-old reality TV star has a six-year-old daughter Madison who she is bringing up after splitting with the child's father, Matthew, shortly after her birth.
And Chloe knows better than most what it is like to be a child growing up with a single parent because when she was just three years' old her mother walked out.
Chloe Sims has revealed how she was abandoned by her mother when she was just three years old
The promotions girl was raised by her father in Romford, Essex, and she doesn’t even remember the woman who brought her into this world.
Chloe told Reveal magazine: ‘I might have walked past her in the street before, and I could have brothers and sisters I don’t know about. All I know is she didn’t want to be my mum so she left.’
She added: ‘It’s a weird feeling knowing that I have a mum but not knowing who she is.’
Chloe, seen here with her cousin Joey Essex, has found fame as part of the cast on The Only Way Is Essex but was shocked by the reaction of some viewers to her appearance
While she had a happy childhood her early teenage years were traumatic and Chloe was the victim of bullies who made fun of the way she looked.
She told the magazine: ‘I was called an alien and a stick insect. A group of girls told me I looked like I had Downs syndrome and were always threatening to beat me up.'
She says one boy even tried to set fire to her hair. But when Chloe was just 15 she won a modelling competition which not only gave her confidence but also stopped the bullying.
However, the mother-of-one is still not entirely comfortable in her own skin, and her insecurities have been heightened by nasty comments made by some viewers following her appearance on TOWIE.
