“For a girl who doesn’t look like she’s eaten a hot meal since the noughties, she sure spouts a lot of hot nonsense,” she said.
“Personally, I think her new skinnier body is horrendous. There. I said it. I’m skinny shaming.”
“I’ve passed the age of worrying what men and other women think of me. My work and children are my priorities and not fitting into my old size eight jeans is no longer at the top of my list of things I care about.”
Criticism: Cheryl has recently come under fire for her slender frame
The TV star went on to say that while she would be classed as obese at a size 14, she lives a healthy lifestyle and that’s all that should matter.
“Cheryl has stupidly defended herself by deflecting weight issues onto larger women, which is not only wrong – it’s offensive,” she wrote in her Irish Independent column.
“She even had the audacity to say: “It’s actually a bad message to tell someone who is obese that they look ‘curvy’ or ‘great’.”
“As a woman who wears a size 14 and hence would be classed as obese, I take great offence to that statement.”

“Okay, fine, I could probably stand to lose a few pounds but I’m in excellent health and I feel good – that’s all that should matter.”
“She is a role model and a style icon and should respect the influence she holds over other women.”
“Cheryl, we’re rooting for you – but don’t make it so difficult for us to.”
