Jacqueline Jossa has blasted trolls who make cruel comments about her appearance.
The former ‘EastEnders’ actress – who played Lauren Branning on the BBC One soap from 2010 to 2018 – has taken to Instagram to address the "horrible comments" she receives daily from online bullies who criticise her marriage with husband Dan Osborne.
Speaking on her Instagram Story, she said: "Sometimes all the comments and what people say to me gets to me a little bit too much. I’m not ashamed to admit that I don’t like reading horrible stuff about myself."
The 26-year-old star – who shares daughters Ella, three, and eight-month-old Mia, with Dan – disabled the comments on her account shortly after publishing the video, and insisted the criticisms she receives "hurt" and are "not nice".
She added: "You don’t get constant different people coming up to you on the street saying, ‘You’ve put on weight, you were so much better looking when you didn’t have kids or when you first came on to ‘EastEnders’,’ or, ‘You’ve gone downhill, no wonder your husband doesn’t wanna be with you,’ and stuff like that.
"I get that on a daily basis and it does hurt, everything that people say to me hurts and it’s not nice. There are certain aspects of my life that I don’t want to talk about. I don’t want to be told I’m fat and ugly, OK?"
Jacqueline’s comments come after she called out keyboard warriors earlier this year for insulting her kids – insisting that it’s "disgusting" and "weird".
She ranted in a number of posts: "If you want to say something about my kids expect a reply back, expect it to be rude, and expect it to be about your face and your appearance.
"If you insult me or you insult my kids, more importantly, I’m gonna say something back to you or I will block you.
"But just don’t do it, how about that? Don’t be a weird person. Sorry, I’m on a rant now, but I don’t understand.
"I don’t like it, I think it’s rude, I think it’s strange and odd that you have an opinion about someone you don’t know, an opinion so strongly about their kids.
"It’s disgusting, and weird. It gets on my nerves.
"I don’t really care when people say stuff about me, I can just laugh it off and probably agree sometimes, I’m like, ‘Yeah, true.’
"But say something about my kids and it really p***es me off."
