BAN THE CRUEL TROLLS, SAYS WARWICK
made runner-up. She married footballer Peter Crouch, 37, in 2011. When digital network Lifetime revived Top Model in 2016 they were delighted to get her on board to present it.
But our source added: “There are discussions happening so no final decision has been made. But it’s not looking good for Abbey.”
Lifetime has so far shown three series of Top Model but we can reveal it may soon be moving channels.
Our insider said: “Top Model is the most expensive show on Lifetime.
Ratings dipped last series so they aren’t prepared to pay as much for it now.”
Production company Thumbs Up are said to be in talks with other channels so the show could be poached by one of Lifetime’s rivals. ACTOR Warwick Davis has called for internet trolling to be made illegal after he suffered years of abuse.
The Star Wars actor, 48, was born with a rare form of dwarfism and it makes him a target for hurtful comments. Warwick said: “People with camera phones taking pictures of people who are disabled without their consent and then posting them on social media with captions is reprehensible. In other countries it is illegal, but here we don’t have a law to protect us.
“If it happens multiple times and it’s the same person taking the picture, that can be classed as a hate crime. But if somebody just drives past and takes a picture of somebody and posts it, they can do that.” Warwick is 3ft 6in tall and cruel trolls regularly brand him “a midget” – a term he finds offensive.
He explained: “Over the years words change their meaning. Many years ago that wouldn’t have been offensive, but now it is.” Warwick’s wife Samantha and their two children also have forms of dwarfism and have been targeted.
A Twitter user recently posted a photo of them and wrote: “Oh my God Warwick Davis has got a full midget family.”
Warwick had to make repeated complaints to the social networking site before action was taken.
He said: “It’s about the way Twitter control their platform. They have a responsibility to protect the users from abuse.”
