‘I’ve been getting a lot of messages about Coco. If it’s about an innocent child, that’s not nice. It’s heartbreaking. But I try not to respond. I’m not having fun.’

The star admitted she’s been a target for trolls for years, and things got particularly bad when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2011, when she placed second with partner Pasha Kovalev.

She said, “When I was on Strictly, I got a lot of hate. It’s such a big show; it was the first time many people saw me. I was called ‘hippopotamus’ and things like that.’

Chelsee insisted she has “thick skin” but says she can’t stand people throwing cruel taunts at her daughter.

The soap star no longer searches online for what people say about her, because there are ‘always’ some ‘nasty things’.
