The 20-year-old model has been hit with fat jibes from internet trolls over the past year but she's adamant the nasty comments won't affect her because she's proud of her body.

She explained to Vogue magazine: "Yeah, I'm an athletic person. But I love my body because I know what it's been through to be what it is, and honestly I'm not going to change for someone that is depressed about their life.

"The Victoria's Secret Angels aren't going anywhere; I'm not going anywhere; plus-sized models aren't going anywhere."

Meanwhile, the blonde beauty was forced to take to her Instagram account in September to post a lengthy rant about why she deserves to be a model after she was slammed with hurtful comments from critics about her curvaceous frame.

The Victoria's Secret angel wrote at the time: "No, I don't think I have the same body type as the other models in shows. No, I don't think I am the best at any given show. Yes, I want a unique walk but I also know I have to improve. No, I'm not the first or last model of my type in this industry. You can make up all the reasons you think I am where I am, but really, I'm a hard worker that's confident in myself, one that came at a time where the fashion industry was ready for a change."
