In early 2023 Fearne took to Instagram to send a defiant message to trolls, telling them that discussions regarding her body are off limits. The star explained how she felt as though “something had to be said” after social media users began judging her appearance after she posted a selfie. “Sometimes I think, I can’t be a***d to respond to the insane amounts of noise on here, but when it comes to judging bodies I feel something has to be said,” she wrote. “Online arguments or discussions around what bodies look like (see my last post) are not helpful. If we are judging other peoples bodies or making accusations we are driving a narrative that women have to look a certain way to be accepted. This sort of attention is not cast upon men, ever.” She added: “No matter what my size, pregnant or other wise, I have knobbly knees and spindly ankles.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
