The Queen of the Jungle posted a series of scathing tweets criticising those who attacked her weight during the show on Friday.
In the tweets Scarlett wrote: ‘I’m an actual human being with feelings! Stop it with your bullying words!’
‘Who are these people who think it’s ok to call women for the way they look… too skinny, too fat, too old, not enough make up etc. What example are we teaching to the younger generation. It really upsets me that we live in a world where it’s the norm!
‘To all the girls & women who follow me. You are amazing & beautiful, whether that beauty is from your kindness, intelligence or the love you show to others.’

The former Gogglebox star was horribly bodyshamed during Thursday’s showing of Extra Camp, with trolls accusing the star of being pregnant.
One wrote: ‘No offence but is Scarlett pregnant?’ with another replying: ‘100% she has put on so much weight since last year’
Scarlett has been open about her weight in the past, after dropping three stone to become a size six.
Meanwhile, Jesy Nelson admitted recently that for the ‘first time ever’ she feels confident enough in her body to hold off on Photoshopping bikini photos.
‘The other day I took a picture of myself in a bikini which I’ve never done before, and for the first time ever I didn’t want to retouch it,’ she said.

Hurtful: In the tweets Scarlett wrote: ‘I’m an actual human being with feelings! Stop it with your bullying words!!’
‘I thought “No, f**k it – this is me, and if you don’t like it, then sod you!” ‘
Jesy, who was a size 10 to 12 when she rose to fame on The X Factor, has previously targeted by internet trolls over her looks and weight.
She previously caused concern after posing a snap of her slimmed down figure in exercise gear in 2013, but she hit back at trolls, saying at the time: ‘I’m a size 10-12. I know I’m not fat. Don’t worry I’m not going to change.’

She also admitted the strain of Little Mix’s relentless schedule left her feeling close to having a breakdown and in urgent need of ‘help’ at one point.
The 26-year-old confessed she ‘burst out crying’ when the group were set to head back on tour, lamenting the fact that she never gets to spend time in her newly-bought home in the UK.
Jesy revealed she was overcome with emotion when Little Mix had returned from their Europe tour – and were told to pack to head out on the road again hours later.

‘I was looking at all of my suitcases on my floor and burst out crying. I was like “I can’t do this”,’ she told The Observer.
‘Literally I nearly had a breakdown like, “I need help. This is too much. I just want to be home.” ‘
Jesy and her bandmates – Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, and Perrie Edwards – have been able to buy new houses thanks to their pop success but have barely spent a night in their own homes and sometimes find their punishing schedule ‘too much’.
