Frankie Bridge confronts online troll as she reveals ‘fat’ comments left her ‘insecure’

Frankie Bridge has confronted an online troll on TV after revealing she was left “insecure” following nasty comments.

Bridge, 26, spoke to the man – who threatened to rape women – about the effects such comments can have on the victims.

Speaking to the troll, whose identity was hidden, on the Victoria Derbyshire Show, Bridge said: “'I know from when people have said things to me and they haven’t called me a b***h and they haven’t told me they’re going to rape me, like you have said to people.

“These are just comments about the way I look or about my personality or something and that really hurt me when I’m feeling insecure.

“When I’m putting myself out there for people, I’m there to be a singer, I’m not necessarily there to be a perfect person and it’s really hard when people say that in comments to me.”

She continued: “I can't even imagine how I would have felt if someone had said some of the things that you've said.

“And as someone who has actually been bullied, do you not see that is just as nasty, even though it is just on the internet.”

The man replied “Yeah” before saying he feels “terrible” for things he has said but has yet to apologise to those he victimised.
