Corrie’s Kimberly Hart-Simpson in tears after trolls tell her to ‘lose a stone’

Coronation Street’s Kimberly Hart-Simpson was left in tears after cruel trolls mocked her weight.

The soap star, 33, took to her Instagram account to reveal she’d been sent a string of vile messages, including one who told her she needs to lose a stone.

Kimberly, who plays Nicky Wheatley on the ITV show, shared a video in which she addressed the abuse with her fans.

Dressed in a black tracksuit, an emotional Kimberly told the camera: “I’ve always said I’m going to use my social media platform to discuss things that matter to me and this is definitely one of them.”

She discussed how she had been photographed in a skimpy outfit as she headed to the gym.

Kimberly also addressed comments she’d received when she’d discussed her mental health.

The TV regular said she’d been called a “h*e” and told she needs a stylist.

Speaking about her gym photos, she said: “The comments are you’re fat, you’re ugly you need to lose a stone, thunder thighs, cellulite mum bod, gym gear, more like Jim’s burger van.

“The list goes on, again please go and look at this.

“I know this doesn’t solely belong to me, a lot of people are getting trolled especially in this industry where we are sort of normalised to it, this is not normal. We need to stop this.

“You’re not going to affect my self-confidence but I am somebody’s daughter and my mum had to read those comments, and my family will too, and that’s horrible for them.

“The world’s really difficult right now and we’re all just trying to get by and in particular I’m in a job where it’s currently classed as nonviable.

“So if you see something today online that you don’t like swipe on by. It really is that simple.
