She captioned the video: “It’s sad.”

Mandy then comments back saying how she is actually a “really nice person.” 

She has shared many other videos talking about the traveller life, and said how she has been called an “inbred (SIC) b****d”.

Shocked at what she gets called, people have responded her with support with one writing: “pay no heed to negative comments, u (SIC) are beautiful and anything said other than that is just jealousy”

There are many videos on her TikTok where she talks about the travelling community, including how proud she it to “be a traveller” and why they keep plastic on their seats in their caravans. 

She says: “In a caravan, like 90 per cent of them, you can’t actually remove the material, so if it gets stained or if something spills on it, that’s it, it gets ruined and I just wouldn’t be able to look at that.

“So this is why we keep the plastic on the seats, if anything spills or anything like that you can easily wipe, and about every month or so we just take that plastic off and put new plastic on it, and we sellotape it. It’s not uncomfortable or anything like that.”

And some people loved the savvy idea, with one saying: “I would love them on my sofa, thank (SIC) its a great idea.” 

Another said: “Who else grew up in the 80s/90s with plastic on your couches? My mother had sense. I'm sick of washing mine.”
