Actress Gemma Atkinson has slammed the social media trolls on her physique and said she is least bothered about these comments.

The 31-year-old "Hollyoaks" star even encouraged other women to ignore such negative statments and just be what they feel, reported Contactmusic.

"I think what it is, with women who go to the gym and weight train think they're going to look masculine and butch and When you do finish a session you are pumped up but in day to day life there is.. I hate the saying real women should have curves I naturally don't, I'm straight up and down," Atkinson said.
 

The actress got upset after social media users made fun of her body, calling her masculine and that she is not a real woman.

Atkinson blamed men for such indifferent attitude and continued, "It's mostly from men who say women shouldn't have muscles. It's like me saying all men should have muscles. You should be how you want to be.
