Ronan Keating's wife Storm blasts skinny-shaming trolls over 'offensive' swimsuit jibes

Storm Keating has blasted online trolls who skinny-shamed her after she posted a photo of herself and her son on the beach.

The 39 year old shared the pic of her and four-year-old Cooper on social media only to met by a barrage of criticism from followers who said she looked "unhealthy".

The mum-of-two has since shared a series of bikini snaps and responded to the "offensive" remarks made about her body.

The Australian beauty said: "Last week I posted a photo of myself with my son on the beach.

"I was taken aback when my post was met by a few judgmental comments about my body size.

"As a kid I adopted unflattering nicknames like Skelator, Toothpick & Twiggy & was made to feel like a boy for not having curves & boobs. I was insecure about my body for many years."

Clapping back at the presumption that thin women "don’t eat", Storm insisted: "This is simply not true and aside from being frustrating, this is also where it becomes offensive.

"One comment on my previous post claimed that the photo of my son & I on the beach was promoting negative body image, which basically implies that I shouldn’t post photos of myself and my children at the beach because of the way I look when wearing a swimsuit. That is absurd & rude."

Storm went on to explain: "These kinds of comments are counterproductive in an era where we are trying to encourage women to feel comfortable in their own skin."

The stunner's husband Boyzone singer Ronan Keating was the first to support his wife, replying to the post saying: “Love you my girl. My world. Beautiful inside and out.”

Fellow Australian Natalie Imbruglia was also Team Storm saying: “Go Stormy.. set em’ straight …” followed by clapping emojis.

The fashion designer has recently opened up on how she had to receive emergency surgery to avoid losing the use of her legs and bladder.

Storm lifted the lid on being rushed to hospital after suffering from a prolapsed disc in her spine.

Speaking to OK! Magazine she admitted that she is still not 100% better as she recovers from the surgery.

Revealing the severity of her condition the she said: ""We had a very small window for them to operate and decompress the nerves otherwise you lose the use of your legs, bladder and bowels.

"Your whole life can change just like that."
