Jess Wright shares video of herself in bikini after being angered by ‘body shaming’ holiday snaps
'I'm a UK size 10 yet I am being body shamed for putting on weight'
JESSICA Wright has slammed "body shaming" snaps of herself by sharing a video of herself in a bikini.
The Towie star, 30, was angered after waking up to "invasive, unflattering and upsetting" pics of herself on holiday.
She has recently been soaking up the sun in LA with pals.
Jess took a quick video showing off her tanned, toned figure in a white and red bikini.
Next to the vid, she wrote: "This is a video I've taken this morning having woken up to once again more invasive, unflattering and upsetting photos of me during a private holiday where I felt completely comfortable around family and friends."
She added that she was sharing it because she needed to address it "head on".
Jess wrote: "So yes I've had some very unkind pictures taken of me, yes it was in a horrendous light, and yes I was hoping for privacy.
"Everybody, male & female in crazy heat, harsh lighting, on the first couple of days of their holiday is susceptible to a bad photo.
"Sadly mine become public property for the world to see even when you think you're safe in a private hotel during some down time."

The 30-year-old wrote further: "This video is REAL, UNEDITED, NORMAL EVERY DAY LIGHTING and this is ME, flaws and all."
She said that "body shaming is real" and called the photos "hurtful" and not "a true representation" of herself and how she looks right now.
Jess continued: " Are they going to break me?.... Absolutely not.
"I've enjoyed my past year and yes i'll be the first to say I have put weight on, I have an extra couple of lbs I'd like to shift but I'm a normal girl and just like anyone my weight fluctuates especially during certain times of the month.
"I've been on holidays, I've had tonnes of cheat meals, I've had more vinos than normal, met amazing people & I wouldn't change a thing. Life is for living and I'm doing exactly that.
"What kind of message are we sending out to women and young impressionable girls?!?
"I am by no means fat, I'm a UK size 10 yet I am being body shamed for putting on weight. #EveryBODYisbeautiful".
Fans rushed to praise Jess for speaking out while telling her to "not pay attention" and that she looks "amazing".
One commented: "that's awful, you look beautiful - you are a young woman, stunning figure, pretty face, loving heart."
