Strictly Come Dancing's Jayde Adams thanks 'nice people' for checking in on her after being trolled by bodyshamers

Bristolian comedian Jayde Adams hit back at bodyshaming trolls once again following another successful weekend on Strictly Come Dancing. The Bedminster native, who is partnered with professional dancer Karen Hauer for the 20th series of the ballroom dancing show, has received backlash from online trolls due to her weight, many of whom have been on the receiving end of a sassy comeback from the 37-year-old.

Despite the countless compliments Jayde has received from judges and members of the public who watch the BBC show, some fans have been worrying about the state of Jayde's mental health due to the criticism she receives from some viewers. So much so, that they have started to message her directly, asking if she is okay.

Jayde has now addressed the outpouring of support she has received from 'lots of nice people', whilst showing how unbothered she is by those who choose to say 'silly things about [her] weight'. The comedy star shared a quote on Instagram, which read: "Them: She shouldn't be on Strictly because she's fat."
