Nicola Coughlan has hit back at body-shamers in a candid post.
The Derry Girls star took to Twitter on Sunday evening to share a photo of herself before her appearance on Saturday Night Live.
Alongside the stunning snap, the 35-year-old wrote: “Hello! So just a thing- if you have an opinion about my body please, please don’t share it with me.”
“Most people are being nice and not trying to be offensive but I am just one real life human being and it’s really hard to take the weight of thousands of opinions on how you look being sent directly to you every day,” the Bridgerton star admitted.
“If you have an opinion about me that’s ok, I understand I’m on TV and that people will have things to think and say but I beg you not to send it to me directly ❤️”
“Anyways here’s a pic of me in my hotel in NY about to go to SNL, it’s unrelated to this post but delighted with my hair in it.”

Being a public figure should not be carte blanche to have your body debated. Let's talk instead about what a PHENOMENAL actress @nicolacoughlan is!! https://t.co/lJvdsP2v1v

@nicolacoughlan If people can't bring you down unless they are holding you up high too. They are jealous 🙂
