New Miss Ireland Jessica Hayes has blasted the online trolls who have called her ugly since winning the competition.
The Cork beauty was crowned the new winner last weekend, but has already been attacked on Twitter and Facebook over her looks.
But the 20-year-old insisted she won’t let the abuse “faze” her.
“There have been a few comments on some of the [Miss Ireland] pictures saying that I’m ugly and stuff like that but I don’t let it faze me,” she said.

“For every one bad comment there are 50 good ones so you can’t let them affect you.”
Meanwhile, Jessica told the Mirror that she is single – but in no rush to find a man.
“I am 100% single. At the moment I just want to focus on [Miss Ireland] because I’ve wanted it for so long. I am only 20 so I have plenty of time.”
