Joel Dommett has defended his Im A Celebrity friend Scarlett Moffatt against online bullies.

Scarlett imposed a ban on all social media at the end of August, shortly after revealing that Twitter users who insulted her appearance during a guest slot on Love Island: After Sun had brought her to tears.

But now Joel has called the reality star absolutely incredible.

I think anyone whos ever horrible about her online… I just wish they would meet her, shes the loveliest, hard-working, sweetest human being, he told Lorraine Kelly on her morning magazine show.

During Scarletts appearance on the hit ITV2 show, the star was wearing a cute, summery tea dress that had a lower neckline that meant that during filming a bit of her bra poked out the top of the dress.

Anyone who has ever worn a bra will likely sympathise with such a situation – and although many girls were keen to show solidarity with Scarlett, others sent horrific abuse.

Their success has led to them now hosting the spin off show Extra Camp (Picture: ITV)

In a string of tweets she wrote: Im honestly ashamed of some people on here. Hard to pretend Im ok and be a good role model to others about how its ok to just [be] you when the comments from grown adults on here have resulted in me crying my eyes out! I hope youre very proud of yourselves.

No wonder the amount of people including myself with social anxiety is increasing. Feel like I cant even film tv shows without hating the way that I look after – from constantly being attacked because of my size and my appearance!
