Happy Valley star Mollie Winnard has revealed she was cruelly trolled when appearing on Coronation Street.
The actress played scheming Kayla Clifton on the cobbles in 2018.
She was the daughter of paedophile copper Neil who abused Bethany Platt.
In a desperate plot to prove her dad’s innocence, she kidnapped Bethany in tense scenes.
Mollie even won an Inside Soap Award for her role.
And while she won rave reviews from critics and fans, some people made nasty comments about her.
She told The Sun: “A very few people made nasty comments about my appearance, saying I’d had work done on my bum and my lips, when I hadn’t.
“That stuck in my brain a bit but then I forgot about it because the vast majority of people are positive.”

However she recently revealed that she would love a return to the soap.
In an interview with the Metro, Mollie revealed that she’d love to return to the soap one day.

“I got quite attached to her, I ended up really liking her.”
Mollie is currently starring as murdered Joanna Hepworth in Happy Valley who was last seen stuffed in a suitcase having been murdered by Faisal.
Joanna is the wife of Ryan’s football coach, Rob, and mother of their two daughters.
