Bullying at work

I started a temp assignment 6 weeks ago and was placed with another temp to train me. I didn’t really enjoy this and he had made a few personal comments to me about my looks , me having no kids and my clothes . He has form for these comments. 

Unfortunately another colleague made personal comments to me also .There was a discussion about health conditions and when I said I had a skin disorder he called me a freak and said oh well not everyone can look like a model. I just went off and cried. He also said I’m not a key worker and shouldn’t be working ( I am ).

What can I do about this? There’s no management around. It’s just these two people others are more professional but it’s become a very small team due to corona.
Im dreading going in .Also, my agency has other better paid roles/ nearer my house would I be able to take on another assignment half way through ?

    There's no requirement to be a key worker, to be working. anyone can work.
