“Ninety-nine per cent of the comments were great and so on but a few comments were,’Oh my God, way too thin’ or ‘eat a burger'”.
“I just thought to myself, ‘That’s the height of ignorance. You wouldn’t say to someone, ‘You’re a few stone overweight, so lay off the burgers’.”
“To me, it’s as insulting. You’ve no idea what someone does or doesn’t do. That could just be the way someone is and that’s the way I am,” she explained.

“Personally, because I’m flat chested, it makes me look even slimmer,” she told The Sun.
The style blogger weighed in on the debate after Amy Huberman deleted a photo of herself she posted to Instagram after she received skinny shaming comments.
“I just thought when I saw the picture of Amy, we all need to just think before we speak. I just think it’s rude. It’s bad to other women,” she said.
