Married at First Sight Australia star Martha Kalifatidis has been criticised by cruel trolls for showing off her growing baby bump.
The reality star is expecting her first baby with fiancé Michael Brunelli, and has been documenting her journey on social media.
But the couple were hit with abuse online after one follower asked why the mum-to-be is 'always' revealing her bare bump.

"She is fake, dumb as f**k, just trash. She doesn't care that she is destructive, she only cares about her shoes," it read.
"I hope you both will be cheated on... So I hope your child will be treated as trash and cheated on, just the same way she is treating other people.
"You have no balls, you put up with her ugly personality. Hope for the worst for you."
"You've gotta just laugh at how upset these sad people get," Michael wrote alongside the screengrab.

In the UK, it affects approximately 30,000 pregnancies a year and while it can improve by week 24, many women suffer throughout the entire pregnancy.

It is not the same as 'morning sickness' which in most pregnancies improves by week 16. Symptoms include prolonged and severe nausea and vomiting; being dehydrated; losing weight and experiencing low blood pressure when standing.
"It's relentless nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It doesn't stop, not even for like an hour during the day, it doesn't end," Martha told The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
"You come to a point where you don't have anything left to vomit, and there's medication you take that you take that stops the vomiting, but the nausea is relentless. It's really disgusting. There's no eating, no drinking, you don't want to put anything in your mouth."
Speaking about Martha's illness, Michael said it 'nearly destroyed' their relationship.

"Not to say we aren't eternally grateful to have been able to become pregnant, but this experience has almost destroyed us, individually," he wrote in a piece for Body & Soul.
"She was vomiting, refused to eat, couldn't tolerate drinking water, was nauseous 24 hours a day and unable to get out of bed."
