Alison Hammond hits back at cruel trolls
Alison also opened up about comments from trolls about her weight, admitting that people get “really angry”.
However, she hit back: “What do they expect us to do? Go and hide under a rock until we get to the size they want us to be? I know people who do. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I’m not going to stop my life.
“If people see me on TV and it’s upsetting them that much, then I think it says more about them than me. I just think, what’s wrong with you that I offend you so much?”
The star admitted she would like to be a “little bit smaller”, admitting it would help with her “knees and ankles”.
However, she doesn’t let it stop her from “enjoying myself or wearing sexy clothes or having sex with men”.
