Hayley Tamaddon has hit back at trolls, insisting "no one has the right to tell women what to do with our bodies".
The former ‘Coronation Street’ star took to Twitter to share pictures of her naked baby bump, but she faced a backlash from one social media user, who asked her to "put it away".
Hayley wrote: "Almost 24 weeks and Feeling the stretch now! I’m smothered in @mamamio every little kick and punch is getting stronger. Feels incredibly and weirdly wonderful! (sic)"
But the Twitter user, who went by the name Linda, replied: "Ok, you’re pregnant. Now, put it away."
Following some objection from Hayley’s fans, Linda also claimed she would tell someone in person to "put it away", prompting the former ‘Emmerdale’ actress to reply: "Ooh Linda… sure you wanna keep going on here love? (sic)"
Hayley later thanked her fans for their support, and insisted she will continue to show off her bump if she wants to.
She tweeted: "You lot are a wonderful bunch! Besides Linda of course.. and 2 other trolls who I’ve blocked! Thanks for all your lovely positive tweets!
No one has the right to tell us women what to do with our bodies. And if I wanna show off my bump.. I’m gonna. sleep tight everyone. (sic)"
Hayley recently admitted she splashed out on a further 17 pregnancy tests after the first one she tried came back positive, because she couldn’t believe the result.
She said: "I must have taken 18 tests – 10 after my first one and then one each day throughout the week. I spent a fortune as we couldn’t believe it.
"The fact I’m 42 and having a baby is absolutely incredible. For so long I thought I couldn’t have children, it just never happened. Now that it has, everything feels natural and so right. We’re expecting a boy which is amazing and I’ve never been happier."
