‘People can be vile – but I won’t let them win’
Like so many in the spotlight, Lisa has been body-shamed and faced online abuse over the years. The star reveals she deals with her tormentors by following them back on social media to “freak them out” and insists trolling has only made her stronger. She says, “I’ve had the most horrendous things said to me over the years. When I did Strictly some of the stuff was just unforgivable, but the biggest two fingers up was how well I did in the competition. It just drives me to do better and better.
“But you can’t have it both ways, if you post a picture on social media you can’t expect everyone to like it. I’m lucky because I don’t let it get to me – but I do have a lot of sympathy for those who can’t cope with it, and I’d totally support laws to identify and penalise these cowards who hide behind their screens.”
