The original Bachelorette has taken aim at body shamers on her 2DayFM radio show after she was crucified for being "too skinny" on Instagram.

It all started after the bubbly 26-year-old host of Rove and Sam posted a photo of herself at the beach while holidaying with her sister's family.

"Obviously when you’re on a holiday you take a few happy snaps," she said. "I posted one happy snap on my Instagram page and it was just me, just chillin’ at the beach, just smiling away at my sister and the comments that I received were absolutely appalling."

Sam, who has since deleted the offending comments, revealed people were saying she "looking disgusting and gross" and criticised her for being "too thin".

"They were saying I’m a bad role model because I’m so thin and I’ve clearly got an eating disorder," she said.

The star said reading the comments "immediately changed her mood" and cast a dark cloud over her holiday: "I was playing with my niece at the time and there I am trying not to cry because I’m thinking, ‘how are people so horrible?'".

She also said this isn't the first time she's been targeted by trolls over her weight.

"Funnily enough this time last year I was experiencing exactly the same thing with people going. 'oh my god you’re so skinny, you’re disgusting.’

"I'm a woman. In three months time - or when you're due for that time of the month - I end up gaining three or five kilos. I don't do anything, it's just the way my body is," she said.

YOU GO, GIRL!
