Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany Platt on Coronation Street, refuses to feel down about herself.
The Cobbles star has confessed she is always comparing herself to others that she sees on social media but she has vowed to stop the comparisons.
In a message posted to her Instagram account, the star vowed to not let it get to her any more.

She wrote: “For the past few months, I have been really really battling with the negative thoughts my head constantly produces about my body.
“I look at pics on Instagram and I automatically start comparing every part of myself to that picture.
“It’s ridiculous. And it seems like all I have to do is look at a burger these days and feel like I’ve put on 10 stone.
“BUT let’s be kinder to ourselves. And each other. I will eat a Kit Kat if I feel like it and maybe I will order two takeaways in a week but I refuse to let anyone make me feel [bleep] about it.
“Own what you’ve got and love it because I think we know all too well that life is short and precious. Eat that burger babe x and enjoy it x (sic).”
Lucy announced in May that she would be departing the soap and admitted it was an “extremely difficult” decision to quit the show.
