Former A Place in the Sun host Danni Menzies hits out at trolls after vile comment

Former A Place in the Sun host Danni Menzies hit back at an online troll who criticised her appearance on Instagram.

The Scottish model and presenter, who grew up in Kenmore, Perthshire, was targeted by trolls on the popular social media platform who took to the comment section on one of her photos to post horrible comments.

Danni shared a photo to her 109,000 followers on Instagram before one of the trolls penned: "What an absolute state you look," followed by several sick emojis.

As the Record reports, the 31-year-old did not hold back in calling out the user as she hit back with: "Bet you make your family proud abusing girls online like the big strong men of this world do."

Telling her followers she wouldn't usually take any notice of online trolls, the scathing star felt like she had to on this occasion.

She said: "I really don't like replying to trolls but I also can't help myself sometimes. It's just not nice, I'm here for love and positivity. But a bit of me just wants to make the p**** feel like a p****, you know?"

Having joined Channel 4 in 2016 to host the award-winning show, Danni has rose to fame and even has a link to Edinburgh after buying her first home in the capital at the age of 21.

The now 31-year-old then asked followers for some advice and started a poll regarding her decision to hit back at the vile comment online.

In October 2022, Danni suffered serious injuries after being hit by a stolen moped near her home in London. The TV host said her facial injuries looked so bad that her face ID on her iPhone would not recognise her.

The former A Place in the Sun host was left with scarring on her face and admitted that she hid away after the horror accident and concealed her scars under a new hair cut.

She only shared photos of her injuries three months after the incident, which left her with several stitches in her face.

The presenter visited a skin professional to try reduce the scarring and now it is hardly visible.

Danni has been busy in her career and teased various exciting projects on her social media pages.

She recently shared a video riding a jet ski in the sunshine and wrote: "Pinch me, I'm working!"

A Place in the Sun airs weekdays at 3pm on Channel 4 and All 4.
