Emmerdale's Charley Webb hits out as social media trolls body shame her

Former Emmerdale star Charley Webb has shut down social media trolls after she showcased her gym-honed figure over the weekend.

The actress shared a video clip of herself and a friend making the most of the Bank Holiday weekend but her post was soon flooded with comments from trolls.

Charley, 35, had been dancing to Beyoncé's hit Drunk In Love as she celebrated the "chaos" of having a few days off while the weather was nice.

However, despite appearing to enjoy herself and showcasing her best dance moves, Charley's fans almost instantly leapt to her defence after the trolls took over the comment section.

The actress rocked a long black sweater paired with black tights and a pair of tanned shoes as she pretended to sing into a hairbrush, while her brunette tresses were swept into a bun.

One individual commented: "Looks like those legs could snap any minute."

While a second added: "Charley you are gorgeous..but you’re all skin and bone."

"Fab but frighteningly thin," commented a third.

However, Charley's fans were quick to defend the star from the insulting comments, with one replying: "Like my nanna used to say, if you've got nowt nice to say then keep your trap shut.

"Looks like @miss_charleywebb is having a ton of fun and loving life with her family and friends too me."

A second commented: "So... Posts a video having fun, she's 'too thin'; posts ads, too many ads; potentially puts weight on, must be pregnant; pics of kids, shouldn't expose them; no pics, 'where've you gone'!! Is it any wonder people feel they can do no right?"

Charley appeared to agree with this comment as she replied: "Innit," alongside a peace emoji.

The upload comes after Charley revealed to fans that she was shutting down her business as she struggled to devote her full attention to the venture.

The actress was working with her husband Matthew Wolfenden and his brother David on the company Nordi Babi which they launched in 2020.

Opening up to fans, she said: "@nordi_babi is closing. I've loved this chapter and the journey it's taken us on but we just don't have the time to run it the way we want to.

"I love everything Scandi so this has been a dream," the company offered teething, stacking and toys for children to pull along, all made out of wood in true Scandi style.

Charley came up with the idea ten years prior to Nordi Babi's launch.
