Tina O\'Brien has blasted online trolls for body-shaming her.
The \'Coronation Street\' actress - who has played Sarah Platt on and off since 1999 - shared a paparazzi photo of herself out in the sun wearing a black vest top and denim shorts, along with cruel remarks from online bullies, one of whom claimed the actress should be "ashamed".
She wrote: "I should feel ashamed? And we wonder why people, especially women struggle with self esteem.
"Instead I choose to feel love and gratitude for my healthy body that allows me to run around the garden with my son and bounce on the trampoline with my daughter. I choose love and acceptance."
Several of her fellow soap stars jumped into the comment section to offer kind words of support.
Former \'Corrie\' actress Bhavna Limbachia wrote: "Tina, you are THE most genuine and kind person I have ever met. Beautiful inside and out xxx (sic)"
Other cobbles alumni also weighed in, with Catherine Tyldesley admitting she "pities" such trolls.
She replied: "What the f***?! I honestly pity these people. Jealous little s****."
Tina\'s co-star Lottie Henshall (Jade Rowan) added: "So beautiful inside and out! Keyboard warriors with nothing better to do."
Lucy Fallon - who appeared on the cobbles as Tina\'s on-screen daughter Bethany Platt - responded: "Tina!!!!! You\'re one of the most incredible women I\'ve ever met. (And you\'re beautiful) We don\'t listen to them. (sic)"
Kate Ford ranted: "The ridiculous person who made that ridiculous comment is called \'here to make friends\' I mean looolllllll. (sic)"
