I'm A Celebrity Australia's Charlotte Crosby slams 'ruthless' online bullies in jungle chat

Charlotte Crosby has slammed "ruthless" online trolls in a candid chat on I'm A Celebrity Australia.

The ex-Geordie Shore star has been dealing with harsh social media abuse for years now, after shooting to fame when the MTV show started in 2011, with the comments getting worse after she started getting cosmetic surgery.

Charlotte , from Sunderland, has been told she looks like both Michael Jackson and Pete Burns, but opening up to Aussie comic Tanya Hennessy she said: "It's what's on in the inside that counts."

Talking about her weight gain in 2013 which prompted her to get into fitness and spawn her number 1 fitness DVDs 3 Minute Bum Blitz and 3 Minute Belly Blitz, the 29-year-old said: "I was with this boy and I think that's what I let myself go. I just felt happy and I was content.

"Every single girl is going to change; your body, your face, your hair ... you're going to get older and you're going to wrinkle, but what really matters is who you are inside."

Going onto discuss some of the nasty comments she's received about her appearance, Charlotte said: "Oh she looked much better before she had all the surgery and I'm like, 'but I'm still the same person inside, so why does that matter?'

"I mean, I didn't look hugely different, like people exaggerate but that's what trolls do, they exaggerate all the time.

"I went on the red carpet, I honestly felt a million dollars, I looked in the mirror and thought 'wow I actually fit in.

"I uploaded a photo the next day and just men went in straight away, saying, 'urgh Pete Burns, Michael Jackson' ... I get called Michael Jackson all the time ... men are just ruthless."
