The online world, unfortunately, is full of nasty, vindictive trolls – and Jacqueline Jossa has had quite enough of it.

Jacqueline, who plays Lauren Branning in EastEnders, is taking a stand against tweeting cowards, telling them "screw you".

"Nowadays you have to go on Twitter to see what people like and what people don't like. If someone makes a fair comment then I'll think, 'OK, cool, that's what they think'," she told the Daily Star.

And Jacqueline, who was recently named Sexiest Female at the Inside Soap Awards, made it clear that she's got absolutely no time for harsh criticism about her weight or her appearance. Quite right, too.

"I try not to pay attention to comments about the way I look. I've had people saying, 'She looks pregnant again, maybe she is having baby number two'," she added.

"I'd like those people to know I'm not having another baby. So screw you."

Luckily for Jacqueline, in amongst the trolls, Twitter is full of fans who are regularly calling them out on her behalf.

"I would have been embarrassed before. But now it's lovely," Jacqueline said of her Inside Soap Awards victory.

"Winning an award for being sexy means quite a lot when you've had a baby and you're not confident anymore. It was a shock and I was so happy."

Jacqueline gave birth to her daughter Ella in February 2015, and she's even had to defend her from cruel comments on social media, too, branding the haters "vile little insects".
