Love Island star Priya Gopaldas has hit back at a body shaming troll.
The 23-year-old took to Instagram Stories to share a screenshot of a cruel message she received, where she was called a “stupid Tory b**ch” who was “disgusting to look at”.
The troll also commented on her weight, saying she was all bone and that no one was attracted to her.
Replying to the message, Priya wrote: “Hey Kiara, looking at your Instagram you’re clearly a beautiful girl! As women we should support each other and instead of body shaming we should try to stay kind.”
“I love my body because it allows me to run far and be strong. Sometimes criticism like that can be damaging to a woman’s confidence and make them feel like they need to change themselves with surgery or by eating badly when actually we’re all uniquely beautiful.”
“Hope you have an insightful bank holiday,” the medical student added.
Priya entered the Love Island villa as a bombshell, but was dumped from the show just one week later after she and Brett Staniland were voted the least compatible couple.
Prior to getting to know Brett, Priya struck up a romance with Irish contestant Matthew MacNabb.
Last week, the reality star won praise for donating her Love Island salary to NHS charities.
