Strictly Come Dancing's Jayde Adams hit backs at bodyshaming troll as she enjoys shandy in Bristol

Bristol's unbothered Strictly star Jayde Adams has hit back at a bodyshamer whilst enjoying a shandy in her home city. Comedian Jayde, who bought a home in Bristol last year after returning to the West Country from London, put the troll on blast as she sipped a cold beverage between intense Strictly training sessions.

Jayde has been providing no shortage of Strictly content on her Instagram page, often posting hilarious behind the clips scenes from her time with professional partner Karen Hauer. Just last week, the pair made scores of Jayde's followers laugh with Karen's 'uncanny' emu impressions.

The 37-year-old has also kept her tone light and carefree when it comes to dealing with trolls, with one Twitter user criticising the star with a nasty remark about her weight last night (October 2). In response to a Metro.co.uk story about Jayde and Karen's 'electric chemistry' on Strictly, Janice Gilfillan decided to write: "She must have the BMI of a combine harvester."

Jayde then found the tweet, and hit back at the troll, writing with a winking emoji: "I'm dead sexy and successful though babes, so who gives a flying s***"

The Strictly star then took a moment to share the interaction on her Instagram story, posting a screenshot of the tweet with a photo of her sipping a shandy. Jayde wrote: "I'm just here in Brizzle having myself a well deserved shandy...

"You're gonna see a lot of this around whilst I'm on national tv dancing in skin tight outfits and it might make you feel s*** about your own weight..."

Jayde then hilariously added: "Just let it waft over you like a fart my puddings."

It seems that Janice is not the only troll Jayde has had to deal with in the last 24 hours, with the Bedminster-born comedian hitting back at another critic. Christopher Mancini claimed Strictly was 'scraping the bottom of the barrel' with Jayde, who he told to 'stick to Snackmasters'.

Jayde replied: "I’m also critically acclaimed, own my own property and always getting laid babe."

It's important to note that Jayde has been showered with praise for her incredible dancefloor talents alongside her Strictly partner, Karen, with the pair blowing fans away this weekend with their dramatic tango to Rumour Has It by Adele. The judges were left impressed by the searing routine, which was a bit of a throwback for Jayde, who used to be an Adele impersonator.
