Matt Terry has hit back at bodyshamers.
The 24-year-old ‘X Factor’ winner was taunted by online trolls about his shape after he appeared on the show on Saturday (18.11.17) but Matt insisted he is happy with how he looks and he encouraged other people to love themselves too.
He wrote on Instagram: "Here we go …. I wondered when something like this would happen. So I woke up this morning after my incredible night back at the show to body shaming. I wanted to do a little post to let my fans know that honestly I’m fine. I love you guys for standing tall and backing me. You are one hell of a fandom."
He shared a video of himself wearing just his underwear and the same shirt he wore on ‘The X Factor’ and insisted that camera angles and lighting "sometimes aren’t your best mates".
He added: "Here’s me, this morning with last nights shirt in my pants… As far as my body, I’ve always been built, always been that stone heavier than my friends and brothers but guess what I’m HAPPY. I think it’s easy to forget that not everyone is as confident as they’d like to be, not everyone is happy with themselves but do me a favour and LOVE yourself. Everybody deserves to be loved and don’t let negative people stand in your way. Alright ?! Sometimes cameras and lighting aren’t your best mates, and everyone is entitled to their opinion but my advice would be choose your words carefully. It doesn’t take much to break a person. Luckily I’m strong and positive and maaaan are there some positives from last night !!! (sic)."
And Matt was celebrating after his new single was positively received following his ‘X Factor’ performance.
He wrote: "’The Thing About Love’ my new single I wrote with some incredible pals jumped up over 60 places on iTunes last night and we are currently at #19. My debut album trouble is currently at #2 for pre-order!! (MENTAL). I was reunited with all my XF family and judges and I had a smashing time !!! Now..HAPPY SUNDAY and I cannot wait for my roast dinner (sic)."
