Aston Merrygold got a troll's account shut down after they sent racist abuse to his son.
The JLS singer, 32, was left horrified when the troll called his oldest boy Grayson, two, the n-word on Instagram.
He called on his followers to report the account before Instagram listened and suspended the troll.
They had commented on an adorable picture of Grayson, which Aston screenshotted and shared with his fans on Tuesday.
Aston wrote: "I need to know who this person is ASAP because from when you think you can move like this and write s**t on my sons page.. you got the wrong one mate!"
He asked if anyone knew who the troll was to get in touch.
Then on Wednesday Aston shared a screenshot of the troll's account to show that it had been taken down.
"Thank you all for your kind words, passion and reporting this clown," Aston said.
"A tiny step in the right direction but we have a long way to go to remove this non visual disease called racism!!
"This person is only one of many and the problem won't stop until we can take further action!
"But please be aware to anybody out there that thinks this, anything close or related to this type of incident is acceptable.. congratulations, you have my attention!
"Let's continue to talk openly, report, shine light on those lurking in the dark! A change gonna come.
Aston shares Grayson, two, with his fiancée Sarah Richards.
