Yet she tries not to take any criticism to heart.

She added: “Friends are always baffled about what people write. Sometimes I do comment back on Instagram when odd things are said.
“But if the comments are offensive in any way I’ll delete them, I have no tolerance for that. They just want a reaction out of you. I have developed quite a thick skin, which is something you have to have.
“I think it helps that I grew up with three brothers – you can’t take anything too seriously.”
