Jacqueline Jossa has revealed that she was cruelly trolled over her weight on EastEnders.
This led to the actress suffering very low self-esteem while playing Lauren Branning in the hit BBC soap.
Speaking to New! magazine, the I’m A Celebrity winner admitted that after joining the soap, aged just 17, she would search “fat Lauren Branning” online every day.
She said: “They called me the new fat Lauren. There were Facebook groups and all sorts about me.”
She continued: “I was literally Googling my name every single day or writing Lauren Branning fat or new Lauren Branning.”
“It was always negative and I would just be obsessed with reading forums and negative things about me.”
The news comes after Jacqueline recently teased her return to EastEnders.
During an Instagram Q&A, Jac was asked if she would ever play Lauren again, and she replied: “Maybe one day. She’s not dead yet.”
