A contestant from Squid Game: The Challenge has slammed a hospital worker who accused her of lying about her weight because of her 'full and round face.'

Hallie Parrott, from Chicago, took to TikTok to explain how she had suffered a 'severe spinal injury' before she was supposed to fly to New York for the show's finale.

The TV personality revealed that a nurse had asked for her weight prior to helping her get undressed for her MRI but, when she provided it, the employee was left in apparent disbelief.

Hallie shared that the comments had left her feeling insecure - especially in front of photographers at the event.

In the clip, Hallie explained: 'I had a severe spinal injury the day before I was supposed to fly to New York for the Squid Game finale. It was very dramatic...

'I get to the hospital. I'm in the worst pain of my life. I had herniated two discs, but I didn't know that yet, so I needed an MRI.'

She continued: 'I can't walk. I'm in a wheelchair. I'm wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants, and a very sweet, yet, clueless lady is taking my information so that I can go in for the MRI and she asks me my weight. 

'I do not own a scale for mental reasons, so I just say my weight and the lady just kind of gives me a look.

'I think that I'm dying still so I don't even give it a second thought.'

Halie was then taken to get her MRI before the nurse helped her get undressed.

'This lady very patiently helps me strip down. I'm literally screaming in pain because of muscle relaxants hadn't kicked in yet, but I need to get in for this MRI,' she divulged. 

'I'm standing there naked and quivering, scared and in so much pain - and she goes, "oh, you might actually be X weight. I thought you were lying earlier... I thought you'd be way heavier since you have such a full and round face."'

Hallie confessed to her followers: 'It honestly hurt me worse than the two herniated discs in my lower spine.

'I'm going to New York tomorrow for this Netflix event. I can't walk and now I have a fat face.

'I don't think she meant anything malicious by it and she was very nice the rest of my visit and I ended up going to the finale on a c**p ton of drugs.

'But it very much affected my entire time in New York.'

The TV star said that as a result she felt very self conscious in front of the photographers at the event, thinking: 'I don't belong here. I have a full face.'

Hallie admitted that she was hesitant about posting her red carpet picture from the event but explained: 'I'm not posting this for compliments. I know that I'm cute. 

'If you're a healthcare worker or literally anyone for that matter, just don't comment on anyone's body.'

The overlaid text in her video said: 'And yes, she could have said worse, okay.'

Hallie continued: 'I do have a full face. I have a round face. I have full cheeks. It's how I've always been.

'That was an insane comment. That's the story of how I threw my back out and was insulted.'

Hallie's video was flooded with comments of support, as she wrote: 'Naked and afraid (Hallie's version).'

Another person added: 'You are literally so pretty.'

A third person commented: 'You are so pretty Xx anyways that was such a back-handed compliment.'

'People have no f***ing class or filter,' a fourth person wrote.

One person wrote: 'Having no scale is honestly the best thing I've ever done.'

Another person commented: 'I'm an nurse practitioner and try to avoid discussing any weight in general unless someone brings it up themselves.'

Hallie responded: 'I would ASSUME most don't bring it up. She went on and on about it too.'
