McEwen’s experience struck a chord with a number of women, many of whom had also been body shamed while pregnant.

TV host Michelle Jobin tweeted: “I went through the same thing when I was pregnant & working on-air, and felt terrible… By speaking out against this bullying with the support of your team, it's progress, at least.”

Another twitter user added her support, writing: “A woman's pregnant body is far from disgusting, it is a beautiful thing to be able to create and grow another human being!”

Following on from the positive feedback she received for speaking out against the troll, McEwen also took to her Instagram feed to share a message in which she reiterated that we are more than how we look.
