Vogue Williams on how she was ‘fat-shamed’ at her own baby shower

Vogue Williams has told how she was fat-shamed by social media users while she was at her very own baby shower.

The TV presenter and her now-husband, Spencer Matthews, announced in March that they are expecting their first child together.

And the mum-to-be appeared on This Morning on Tuesday, where she discussed being fat-shamed over the photos from her baby shower – as well as the criticism she has received for working out.

My favourite look, bouncy hair and glowy make up! Thank you @secretspauk @carmexuk @rach_keeleymua ?

She told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield:

“People said I looked fat at my baby shower – I was seven months pregnant at the time.

“When online it’s so easy to be negative and hide behind a computer and put anything you want… being fat shamed at seven months pregnant was like water off a duck’s back but at any stage to fat shame any women is awful.

“It happens mostly to women – social media has got so nasty.”

She also talked about the criticism she received from social media users after she shared some posts working out in the gym.

So many lovely comments about my training during pregnancy. If you’ve trained before there is no reason not to continue while pregnant. I do get a fair bit of flack over it too but I feel so healthy and our son is a big healthy baby already! Boxing training is an absolute winner. So good for your arms, core and cardio fitness. Good session with @matiparks_pt yesterday. ?

She added:

“I was training differently but I’ve always trained since I was 17 so I wasn’t going to stop when I was pregnant.

“People were constantly saying, ‘You’re putting your baby at risk’ but everything I do is OKed by my doctor and my trainers.

“People seemed to have such an issue with people training when pregnant.”

It’s not the first time that Vogue has spoken out about the social media criticism she has received.

I actually just have to laugh at the people fat shaming me. I’m seven months PREGNANT, the online world is a nasty little place. Myself and my larger body are very happy and look forward to getting even bigger ☺️

In early June, the DJ took to Twitter to respond to the trolls who had been fat-shaming her, adding: “the online world is a nasty little place.”
