Plus-size model Jordyn Woods claims she's criticised for going to the gym

Kylie Jenner's best friend and plus-size model Jordyn Woods has claimed that she is criticised online for working out in the gym.

Woods, who models for Boohoo.com and has also just been announced as one of the faces of Khloe Kardashian's new denim line, said people online question why she goes to the gym and don't believe she's a model because of her curves.

In a new Teen Vogue video, Jordyn answers what 'plus-size models are tired of hearing' alongside fellow plus-size models Hunter McGrady, Olivia Wilson, Riley Ticotin and Barbie Ferreira.

"One time I posted a photo working out and then if you post that you're working out they're going to say 'oh, don't get too skinny' or 'why are you working out if you love your body?'", she said.

"If you love your body you're going to work out."

She went on to say that people don't believe her when she lets them know what she does for a living.

"It's funny getting in a taxi or something on the way to work and people are like "what do you do?" I'm like, 'I'm a model', they're like 'oh...what do you model?', she said.

"You have to say 'I'm a curve or a plus model' and then they're like 'oh, OK, OK, that makes so much sense'".
