Former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley has hit back at a troll who body-shamed her on social media.
The 37-year-old star has always been open about her fitness journey, so when she saw the remark targeting her she decided enough was enough and couldn’t bite her tongue.
After seeing a troll claim that she had “fat legs,” the actress decided to put them on blast publicly.
How did Catherine Tyldesly react to being body-shamed?
She told her followers on Instagram Stories: “It’s not often your Auntie Cath gets trolled, I’m very lucky like that. I’ve got lots of wonderful, positive people in my life.
“You do get the occasional twonk, so to the guy yesterday who said I had ‘big fat legs’, babes, I’ve been training these legs for seven years.
Catherine continued: “This s**t don’t wobble, and I guarantee I could dead-lift or squat your entire body weight, my love.
“So things just got really awkward, really fast, didn’t they? God bless ya, darling. Find the light, come on.”
The star is married to 32-year-old personal trainer Tom Pitfield.
Growing up she struggled with her weight, and she ended up managing to lose a massive six stone a decade ago.
In doing so she dropped from a size 22 to a size 10.
