Casey Batchelor has been left "devastated" after cruel trolls mocked her pregnancy weight gain.
The 35-year-old star – who already has 20-month-old Florence with fiance Dane Goodson – is due to give birth to her second child later this month and can’t believe she’s been targeted over her shape.
She said: "I couldn’t believe it when I saw the comments. I was devastated – really upset and tearful.
"I’m pregnant for God’s sake! Can’t I enjoy the last few weeks of my pregnancy without this rubbish? Can’t the trolls have a day off?
"Getting comments saying I look like an oil tanker and that I have more than one baby in there is upsetting. People seriously need help.
"My belly isn’t going to stay flat hen I’m pregnant – nor is any woman’s. Someone wrote that I need to go to the gym and lose weight. I’m carrying a growing human being – I haven’t just put on a few Christmas pounds."
And Casey doesn’t believe the online bullies would be brave enough to make the comments to her face.
She said: "The thing that amazed me about trolls is, would they have the balls to come up to me in a supermarket and tell me I need to go to the gym? Probably not."
The brunette beauty has now called for tighter regulation of social media platforms.
She said: "To target a pregnant woman and call her fat is beyond bullying. It’s downright disgusting.
"It really got me down. Social media is out of control and I think everyone should be policed by the people who run these sites."
