Strictly’s Jayde Adams has said she’s “laughing at trolls” who comment on her weight to show resilience.
The comedian, 37, who stars in the popular BBC dance competition, explained that she “knew it was going to happen” so she opted to deal with the offensive messages.
Talk about BBC Sounds Woman’s Hour with Krupa Padhy, Jayde discussed the comments she gets from internet trolls, adding that it will “never stop.”

She began, “I knew it was going to happen to me because every time I’m on TV someone says about my weight, I just knew it was going to happen.
“I could do two things, I could ignore it, or I could tackle it. I thought it was funny, I was able to show some resilience to people who follow me.’
Speaking of the comments, she added: “Someone wrote, this is Jayde Adam’s rocking up to Strictly, with a picture of the Michelin man, and I had a good laugh!”

Jayde continued, “I don’t want people to say things like that, but these people want to have a reaction.”
“The most useful thing about not doing it is to show resilience, because it never ends.”
It comes as Jayde took to Instagram on Sunday to share the latest photo with her sister Jenna, who died in 2011 at the age of 26 of an inoperable brain tumor.

The comedian dedicated her dance to her beloved sibling during Saturday’s show and admitted she would mourn the loss for the rest of her life.
Jayde also shared poignant photos of the pair as they danced together in their teens, as well as a photo of a young Jenna beaming for the camera.
She wrote: ‘Last photo we ever had together. Her love for me was so strong, I will never feel unloved in my life’.
“I will mourn my loss to her for the rest of my life, it is the most important thing that has ever happened and I am extremely grateful to be able to channel my grief through creativity, thank you @bbcstrictly @karenhauer.”

“This is all Jenna Adams, she will never be forgotten. And yes she would be so proud of me stunned @claudiawinkle said her name and very jealous I am of Strictly we loved this show together’.
On Saturday’s show, Jayde spoke about the lyrics to Bette Middler’s Wind Beneath My Wings, chosen for their spectacular routine.
She said, “The lyrics really resonate… she was two years older than me and she died 11 years ago. Not only did I lose a sister, I lost a best friend, a dance partner. This song in particular is very special to me and my family and I hope I can do it justice this week.”
