Molly-Mae Hague has hit back at trolls who 'made her feel rubbish' after comments about her body.
The former Love Islander took to her YouTube channel to share with her 1.81 million subscribers how she's faring with her new life as a mother and has opened up about some of the comments she's received about her post-baby bod.
The 24-year-old started by revealing that one keyboard warrior said she looked 'bloated' and even suggested she had 'water retention'.

Molly-Mae, who recently got engaged to her Love Island co-star Tommy Fury, admitted to her fans such body shaming comments made her feel 'a little bit crap'.
"I've been trying to make some effort recently," the social media star continued. "I've had a few humbling experiences this week and it's a bit rubbish when you're actually trying to make some effort."
The mum-of-one who welcomed daughter Bambi earlier this year (23 January) went on to explain: "Instead of putting on a tracksuit how about I chuck on a blazer instead or some cargos instead of a pair of joggers, just making small changes in my appearance and a bit more effort day to day."
"I just think it's humbling when you make a lot of effort and still look like a hot mess," she revealed before confessing that the comments 'cut deep'.
The YouTube video, just over 30 minutes long, has since clocked up more than 166k since it was first posted yesterday (15 August).
With hundreds upon hundreds of comments, it's clear Molly-Mae's fans couldn't wait to share their support for the new mum.
One YouTube user wrote: "I can’t believe how rude some people are. Don’t take any notice of what negative people say, you look absolutely beautiful."
A second penned: "Every time someone gives you their unsolicited opinion about your body, just remember that Bambi unconditionally accepts you as her mama no matter what you look like."
"Body shaming is NEVER okay!! EVER! Especially after a woman had a child! How dare they!" hit out a third.
A fourth pointed out: "You have a baby, a full time job, a whole relationship family and friends you keep up with.
"You are doing so much and more than most so please don't be hard on yourself or [your] body - you grew a whole baby! You're keeping it all together and you look great!"
A final YouTube user added: "Go girl, motivating all women on here! Thank you!"
