A simple sorry will not cut it.’ Gibson, whose Whole Pantry app was downloaded by more than 300,000 people, triggered international outrage when it emerged she had failed to pass on donations to various charities. ‘I thought if she could do it then I could do it too,' Miss Taylor said. ‘At first I was sceptical about the app but Belle seemed to have gone through so much. 'Even though my brain condition was more severe – I thought the app would be good so I wanted to take a shot and see how things go. I even used some of the recipes in an attempt to help improve my health. ‘But after reading the article, I'm infuriated beyond belief.

'I had to take a year off uni to recover and recuperate because you can't do brain surgery and study at the same time. I had to move back home so my family could look after me. 'Do you know what it's actually like to go through this? Belle has upset so many people, including my mum who is a breast cancer survivor and a sufferer of Cowden's Syndrome. 'I want Belle to know that she's had a devastating effect on everyone. 'And she needs to get help. Help for not just herself but help to say sorry for the actions she has caused.'

I do.’ She wrote. 'I’m 21 and I’ve been through 15 brain surgeries to fix my brain condition, and I am still needing to have more surgery in the coming months,' ‘Each one of my surgeries has lasted on average 7 hours. Do you know how painful those 7 hours are for my family and friends? It makes my heart sink every time they’ve waited for me while I’m in surgery. 'I am ashamed to have wasted my money on your app. I am someone who believed in your lies. Someone that you instilled a glimmer of hope in. 'Belle Gibson, all I can say is this to you. How dare you?'
