Unfortunately, the snap led to about her weight. Some users felt the need to tell Kate her figure was ‘dangerous’ and that she should eat more food. While others felt the need to call her ‘unattractive.’
This led to other supportive and more positive people addressing how unfair it was that Kate had to read these messages.
Actor and Strictly star Gemma Atkinson, 39, perfectly pointed out that this isn’t something we should be seeing in 2023.
‘Being “offended” or “triggered” by a woman in a bikini 🤦🏼♀️🙄 Christ Almighty!’ she typed.
‘Let’s hope 2024 brings you all more happiness! Looks lovely Kate, enjoy the warmth as it’s bloody cold here!’
Social media user Belles Blue 81 shared an impassioned paragraph, that has received over 100 likes.
‘ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH, stop the commenting on other peoples bodies! Why are people still thinking they have the right to comment on others appearances 😢 the “well it’s posted on social media” isn’t a pass to comment on anyone’s body size,’ she began.
‘Have some respect, consideration and human decency to keep certain comments to yourself,’ she later typed.
Another user JoanaLopesGomes also pointed out how difficult it can be for women to ‘win.’
‘A woman is skinny: “eat a burger!” A woman has curves: “close your mouth!”- Women can never win, can we. The worst is these mean comments come from other women as well.’

However, this isn’t the first time Kate has been subject to these kinds of comments, and so has previously spoken about a ‘double standard.’
‘If someone is on Instagram showing their curves and grabbing their rolls, it’s all, “You go girl, well done you,”‘ she told.
‘They’re celebrated, called real women. Well, why can’t a real woman be a healthy size eight? It’s crazy.’
After the online abuse, , came to ’s defence and said: ‘I love that people are concerned about my wife’s weight when I cook for her.’
He added: ‘Guys, chill – it’s the camera angle. Put the phone down and go outside for a bit.’
