Alongside the video, she penned: "I'll probably regret posting this. I never normally do this. I'll probably leave it here for a bit and then delete .."

In her heartfelt video, Davina shared: "I just thought I'd quickly do a post about the kind of ... I guess it is like abuse, really, that I'm getting about my weight. It's really frustrating. I feel like people post these things and then they have no consequences because they can post whatever they like and be cruel and I just have to kind of take it. I'm actually just left sitting feeling furious so I thought I'd offload here."

Davina explained: "I'm a 5ft 6in woman who weighs 61 kilos. I don't diet. I exercise. I eat relatively healthily and I enjoy sharing that journey with people. I'm 57 this year and I'm happy with the way that I look, and I feel absolutely f***ing great. And so I just thought I'd post that there."

And maybe the light was bad or something and everybody's ... but all you have to do is look at the rest of my posts on my page and see that I'm not unhealthy. But this is ... this was, like, horrible. So I'm parking that there and I'm just saying maybe think before you post something. Wouldn't it be nicer to say something positive?
