CHARLOTTE Dawson has admitted she's been left in tears after strings of cruel comments on Instagram.
The mum-of-three, who gave birth to her baby girl Gigi in March, spoke with pal Janine Marsh on her Naughty Corner podcast about the toll cruel trolls are taking on her.
Getting emotional as she spoke, Charlotte said: "I'm really low at the moment. I'm really up and down. I've been crying, I'm constantly upset and feeling like… thinking about things, worrying.
"I'm trying to be positive, but… I've really been struggling, the last few weeks and days and stuff.
"Like, the things that they're saying to me, Janine, it's just awful, and I don't want to give them what they want.
"I'm trying to make a difference. I need to try and get hold of someone on Instagram, but they're not… I mean, they're not going to listen to me."
"Be kind. How is it so hard to be kind?" she pleaded. "I don't understand."
Janine said that she was dying to give her friend "a big cuddle" and told her: "I'm telling you as a friend that you are funny, you're fantastic, you're a great mum, you're also a really good representational person for all those women who've had kids.
"So don't let them because get you down. When you're having that just remember, there's a lot of people that love you, and I'm one of them."
Charlotte, the daughter of legendary stand-up comedian Les Dawson, has tracked the ups and downs of her pregnancy and birth.
She posted a video of the moment on Instagram across the weekend, and added in the caption: "This post partum life is so hard so tough.. and should be spoke about enough. And especially the trolls mum police who try & wear you down.
"It doesn't harm you to be kind, even if you don't want to be nice just keep it to yourself because you don't know that person is actually feeling…"
Supporters were quick to flood her comments with support, with one telling her: "You are beautiful inside and out and a fantastic mum never forget that you have always been true with yourself and what you post keep being you "
Another praised her openly honest posts and added: "you make so many of us SMILE. Such a beautiful soul within in an era of picture perfect grams, you bring the reality"
While a third wrote: "Your post and videos are so relatable, your showing 'real life' things. Body image, family issues, things that we all go through and it can feel so lonely sometimes.
"You make us laugh, make us cry with you but you make this beautiful connection with your audience just by being yourself that's what makes you so authentic!"
