Her followers were quick to step in and support her.
One wrote: “From one girl to another, you are doing amazing! An incredible role model for others and setting the perfect example of how a mature young woman could act and dress.
“Comments are nothing, lets face it, it’s only jealously because they will never have the power and beauty you do girl.”

Amy is the daughter of Steve McDonald and Tracy Barlow.
She has three half siblings on her dad’s side. She has older half-sister Emma and two younger half-brothers Oliver and Ruairi.
Sadly Ruairi died after being born prematurely and Oliver died last year, aged three.
What storylines has Amy been involved in?
From birth, Amy’s life was filled with drama. When Tracy fell pregnant, she tricked Roy Cropper into thinking he was Amy’s father.
Roy ended up marrying Tracy to have Amy in his care. However later Tracy demanded her daughter back it was revealed she and Roy never slept together and Steve was the father.
In 2019, at age 14, Amy discovered she was pregnant. She refused to reveal who the father was at first, but soon Tracy figured out it was gang member 17-year-old Tyler Jefferies.
At first Amy wanted to have the baby and Tracy and Steve agreed to look after Amy’s baby and raise it as their own.
But when she became overwhelmed, she decided to have an abortion and was accompanied by Bethany Platt.
At first Amy let her mum believed she had a miscarriage, but she eventually told her the truth.
