Jayde Adams 'laughs with trolls' who mock her weight
The 37-year-old comedian refuses to let the hurtful comments upset her and she has engaged with her detractors in order to show resilience.
Speaking on BBC Sounds Woman's Hour with Krupa Padhy, Jayde said: "I knew it was going to happen to me because every time I'm on TV someone comments on my weight, I just knew it was going to happen.
"I could do one of two things, I could ignore it, or I could tackle it. I found it funny, I could show people who follow me some resilience.
"Someone wrote, 'this is Jayde Adam's rocking up to Strictly', with a picture of the Michelin Man, and I laughed!
"I don't want people to say stuff like that but these people want to have a reaction. The most useful thing to do it to not get at them, it's to show resilience because it's never going to stop."
Meanwhile, Jayde previously called her 'Strictly Come Dancing' partnership with Karen Hauer a "sisterhood".
The comedian revealed the partnership brings back memories of dancing with her late sister, who died of a brain tumour in 2011.
She said: "I think my partnership with Karen is more about sisterhood. And if you're in the dance world, which I was as a child, the sort of all-girl and all-male partnerships is quite commonplace.
"Obviously it's a new thing in these dance shows, the one that's in Australia and the one that's in America, but I think the world is changing and to me it just doesn't seem like anything that is abnormal to me. It seems like a completely natural thing.
"When I danced with my sister, I was the base and I used to lift her all the time and actually the last time I danced was actually with my sister... so this felt really natural for me."
