Emmerdale actress Charley Webb hits back after she’s trolled for being ‘too skinny’
EMMERDALE actress Charley Webb hit back at bodyshamers after she posted a cheeky video to her Instagram page.
The mum of three, 35, took to her comments section after a horrid slew of remarks which saw thoughtless trolls suggesting her legs could “snap.”
The Debbie Dingle actress – an Emmerdale favourite – had depicted her “Bank holiday Beautiful Chaos” on her page, kicking off with a video showing her mid-way through an energetic boogie.
Charley wore a black knit dress with semi sheer tights and tan boots.
Clearly eager to get stuck in, she tied her brunette locks in a bun and hit the music with her lively moves and a microphone.
Her pal alongside her admirably got stuck in as Charley shimmied closer towards the floor.
She wrote in her caption: “At my friends bbq celebrating another year of them with the same old moves.”
Yet the playful scenes prompted cruel keyboard bullies to pipe up, with one writing: “Looks like those legs could snap any minute.”
Another put: “Charley you are gorgeous..but you’re all skin and bone.”
Yet Charley – and her legions of loyal fans – were quick to react.
A fan called out the troll and wrote: “So.. posts a video having fun, she’s ‘too thin’; posts ads, too many ads; potentially puts weight on, must be pregnant; pics of kids, shouldn’t expose them; no pics, ‘where’ve you gone’!! Is it any wonder people feel they can do no right!”
The actress was quick to reply: “Innit,” along with a peace sign Emoji icon.
Another fan put: “Are we gonna learn to stop commenting on each others bodies?”
One added: “Wtf why didn’t you just leave it as she looks gorgeous? So unnecessary.”
Fun-loving Charley is clearly a fan of a boogie and recently showed off her karaoke skills.
Previously, she hinted at her TV comeback after quitting her soap role of two decades.
During an Instagram Q&A, a fan asked if she would be returning to acting anytime soon.
She replied: “When the right thing comes to me, I’ll be back. Can’t wait.”
Charley confirmed she quit her role of Debbie in 2021.
Over the top of a picture of her, husband Matthew Wolfenden and their three kids, she wrote: “This is always my most asked question but I’ve never answered it before because I’ve never wanted to make a big deal of it.
“I left to have Ace two years ago. I went back at the end of last year for 10 weeks to complete a storyline.
“So, I guess officially it’s been a year. I never felt the need to announce it which is why we didn’t.”
Talking exclusively to The Sun at the time, a source said: “Charley has been on Emmerdale for 19 years and her character Debbie has had a rollercoaster ride. It’s time for a new adventure for Charley.
“Naturally the door is open for her character, who is now living in Scotland, should she change her mind. But for now she is looking to the future.”
