Thanks Robin. Luckily I have thick skin but it's so draining that so called "Strictly fans" go out of their way to drag me down to lift others up. Their fave couples would be SO embarrassed by their comments & so should they. They'll never dim my shine 😊 Big love x
STOP this hatred for @LaytonWilliams it’s BULLYING ffs The poor guy sees all these comments everyone tags him in - how is that supposed to make him feel You should all be ashamed of yourselfs What ever happened to be KIND ? #mentalhealth
