X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini believes that body-shaming should be made illegal, so it probably wasn’t too wise for Vicky Pattison to comment on her weight as she soon found out.
After suggesting that Cheryl should head down to Greggs and get herself a pie, the former Geordie Shore was viciously trolled by the star’s loyal fans, who she calls her ‘soldiers’.
Brunette beauty Vicky, who has had her own weight struggles, has defended her comments after she said: "Get yourself down to Greggs for a pie or a stottie cake. Get yourself to Newcastle pet, chill, have a night in with a Chinese."
“I got shamelessly trolled by all of Cheryl’s soldiers. I understand that opinion about the nation’s sweetheart was going to be controversial but I didn’t mean it to be horrible,” Vicky explained to Daily Star Sunday.
“The abuse I got was ridiculous. It was like I was a national hate figure.”
She added: "Cheryl is one of my favourite celebrities. All I said was she was a little bit thin and should go to Greggs.
“I wasn’t trying to body-shame her but all her fans jumped down my throat.”
Fans began worrying about Cheryl after she arrived at the X Factor auditions earlier this year sporting a noticeably skinnier frame.
The songstress, who is grieving the loss of her father-in-law, later said that comments about her weight are 'not nice' .
However Vicky has explained that she believes Cheryl should consider her popularity and influence.
The reality star added: "So many women across the nation look up to her an she should bear that in mind. I don't think she will be taking this weight loss lightly and hopefully she'll be trying to gain a bit."
