Georgia Scholes, a Bay celebrity, has reacted to remarks about her weight while pregnant.
Georgia appeared as Erin Fisher in the fourth season of the criminal drama, and she was also in Hollyoaks in 2020.
But, after trolls criticised her appearance in her current production, the actress retaliated.
‘Amused at some of the comments I’ve seen about myself in The Bay that I should have been recast because I’m “enlarged”, and look “old”,’ she posted on social media.
‘[The] reality is this face can’t even get served in a bar.
‘Thanks to the bay for keeping my fat arse in a job n not sacking me for being pregnant. 😉.’
She later added on Twitter that she didn’t realise her appearance would ‘aggravate so many people…how some people work is beyond me’.
Many individuals who expressed support for Georgia’s tweet urged her to try to ignore the hate.
‘The haters are just jealous of the beautiful, talented young actress doing a cracking job in her current TV role…stuff ‘em. You were excellent in it, such a great series,’ one fan wrote.
Another added: ‘You kept to rigorous filming schedules while pregnant. You should be getting praise not abuse.’
Many others stated they were enjoying the season and couldn’t wait to see her return.
The fourth season of the sitcom premiered earlier this month, following DS Jenn Townsend (Marsha Thomason) and her squad as they investigate a mother’s murder.
Jenn is also coping with personal concerns at home, and she is having difficulties with her stepdaughter Erin (played by Georgia), who has been skipping school to spend time with her boyfriend.
Georgia announced the birth of her daughter, Thea, in December of last year, uploading a selfie from the hospital with her partner kissing her on the cheek.
‘Thea Wioleta Scholes Karlinska. Our little secret, today our lives changed forever and we couldn’t love you anymore,’ she wrote on Instagram.
While she clutched her child, a blanket with her baby’s name was stitched on the bed.
The Bay is streaming on ITVX.
