In response, This Morning star Alison replied:  “Why is that I’ll be having a lovely day and then someone who doesn’t know from Adam writes such nasty message . Don’t @ me keep

“Your nasty comment to yourself #bekind always.”

Alison’s followers rushed to offer her support, with one person writing: “I'm so sorry Alison. Keep being the amazing and kind person you are. You're lovely as you are xx”

A second said: “Ignore the haters, they’re just jealous, keep being you, you remind me of my bestie, she’s big and black and loads of fun too, but if you get on the wrong side of her, you get told it in not so many words!! I think you’re lovely xx”

The troll also replied again and wrote: “Fair enough, I will, was just exercising my write to free speech and will except those consequences, the only reason I @ the person I was talking about was I didn’t want it to seem cowardly, but from now on, as asked I will leave you be.”
