Rebecca Adlington has said that she has had to block close to 4,000 Twitter trolls, who subjected her to vile abuse about her nose and overall appearance.
The 25-year-old former athlete, who still refuses to confirm or deny rumours that she underwent surgery to have her nose reduced in size and remove a bump, said that at first she burst into tears when she read things, the Mirror reported.
However she said, as she's grown up she's learnt to think, asserting that she doesn't know them and that they've never seen her in real life and have never spoken to her.
She added that she tries to avoid looking at Twitter while she relaxes at home, something that her fiance Harry Needs encourages.
