Coronation Street’s Kate Ford hits back at body-shaming trolls on social media

Her co-stars even joined the online argument to back her up

Coronation Street actress Kate Ford has hit back at an online troll after they commented on her appearance.

The ‘fan’ took to Twitter to share their theory that 40-year-old Kate could do with some Botox – after tweeting an image of the actress’s forehead. Wonders will never cease.

The Corrie favourite, who is better known as the cobble’s Tracy Barlow, admirably said she wasn’t going to name names, but was upset that a woman would hit out at another woman like that.

And as soon as her post hit social media, fans were tweeting Kate back in their droves, supporting her comment that the mystery troll should be ashamed of themselves.

But it wasn’t just fans who had Kate’s back – her co-stars also joined in the online chat, pointing out that the tweet clearly came from jealousy…

Both Catherine Tyldesley, who plays Corrie’s Eva Price, and Sally Ann Matthews who is better known as Weatherfield’s Jenny Bradley fought their friend’s corner.

Sally lightened the mood brilliantly by suggesting that she would give the online hater one of her ‘death stares’ which she is famous for in Corrie.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
