‘I am trying my best’: Jacqueline Jossa admits she let online abuse ‘get to her’ as she shares cruel message from online troll after losing half a stone
Jacqueline Jossa has responded to online trolls after receiving cruel taunts over her weight and her marriage to former TOWIE star Dan Osborne.
The actress has lost more than half a stone in weight after embracing a healthier diet and lifestyle, but still faced abuse from a minority of followers after sharing her latest Instagram posts.
Posing in a crop top and jogging bottoms, Jacqueline, 27, admitted she was delighted with the progress she had made, but admitted she had been affected by one of the negative comments.
Speaking out: Jacqueline Jossa has responded to online trolls after receiving cruel taunts over her weight and her marriage to former TOWIE star Dan Osborne
She wrote: ‘I still have a long way to go to get to where I want to be. But I would never have posed like this a month ago with a bloody sports bra so happily.
‘Also I read through my inbox and today I found a troll being so so nasty. I let it get to me.
‘It made me feel so terrible like my progress didn’t matter. That I was huge and all of it was a waste of time.’

She added: ‘But I checked myself, found my strength and progress and I am honestly so proud of where I am at. I am enough. I am trying my best. And I am loved.’
Sharing some of the insults she had been confronted with, Jacqueline revealed she had been called ‘chunky,’ while other comments referred to her ‘massive chin and thighs.’
Another unsavoury comment took aim at husband Dan – who has previously admitted to being unfaithful.
Reaching out: Jacqueline later thanked her fans for their support after sharing the messages
It read: ‘You wouldn’t know classy if it hit you round the face. Which is probably what Dan’s k*** is doing to some other woman right now.’
Doing her best to dismiss the insults, Jacqueline told fans: ‘This is the sort of s**t we have to put up with. Even now. Where we all know how important it is to be kind.
‘So many are still so so vile. Obvs I blocked and deleted but for the moment too long it hurt. It made me doubt myself. That isn’t okay.’
The former EastEnders star later thanked fans for their overwhelming support after sharing the messages – along with the female troll’s name.
She’s wrote: ‘Honestly though. It’s wrong of me to take notice of one nasty troll. When I get so many amazing messages everyday and I am so overwhelmed by always.
‘Thankyou so much. Honestly… so kind.’
