       A size 26 model is forced to fend off cruel troll attacks online constantly trying to fat-shame her over her curves.

       Social media sensation Caitlan Redding has nearly 100,000 fans online who follow the fun photos she posts on Instagram.

       But despite positive reactions and the success of her modelling, the 24-year-old, from Southend, in Essex, is still plagued by people wanting to be negative about her size.

       Proving she isn’t going to let them hold her back, Ms Redding announced this week she will now be selling sexy photos of herself online.

       The blonde bombshell shared a selfie showing her glowing makeup and hair in curls on her Instagram story revealing: "Not so innocent on..." as she shared a link to her OnlyFans page.

       But because of her body positive attitude, Ms Redding is sometimes accused of “promoting obesity” by cruel commenters.

       She previously told Fabulous: “People always write mean things. ‘You’re so fat and it’s your fault,’ is something I hear a lot.

       “Other people, often women, have said, ‘You’re going to have a heart attack’. Another thing I get is, ‘When you walk there are earthquakes.”

       The influencer has also cruelly been compared to Violet Beauregard from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who swells up after chewing gum.

       Furthermore, she's been told to stop wearing sexy clothing and invest in Spanx instead.

       Trolls even go after her fiancé Sam Woolf, 25. They tell Ms Redding her partner of nine years is bound to cheat on her just because he’s slimmer than her.

       Although this used to get the influencer down, she’s grown a thick skin amongst the hate. She says she won’t let people “police her size” – especially when they’re total strangers.

       In an online video, she responded to someone who insulted her appearance. She replied: “Why is showing a video of me in a trouser and top outfit promoting obesity?

       “Seems like you’re just jumping on the hate – get a better life please.”

       Dr Mark Griffiths, Professor of Behavioural Addiction at Nottingham Trent University told the BBC: “Most people troll others for either revenge, for attention seeking, for boredom, and for personal amusement.”

       Then National Bullying Helpline offers advice for people who feel they have been targeted by trolls or bullies online.
