Radio star Kate, 43, admitted that trolls targeted her over her weight but said she is perfectly happy with her size 8 figure.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Kate said: “Everyone’s got an opinion and when you put yourself out there on Instagram, you’ve got to respect people to comment on your appearance whether you like it or not.
“So, I accept that people are going to comment on my appearance and not everyone is going to be nice.
“I know I don’t have an issue with food, I like to exercise, I like to keep fit.
“If anyone thinks I’m too skinny then that’s their problem.”
She added: “The mum brigade do love to comment especially when it comes to sleep.
“Like at the moment I have my little girl in a cot and they’re like ‘you should put her in a bed’.
“But I actually have a really good community on social media.”

Kate’s holiday snaps divided fans.
Some even likened her physique to that of fellow Big Brother contestant Nikki Grahame, who died in 2021 aged 38, after a lifelong battle with the eating disorder.
Kate has since told The Sun: “I honestly couldn’t believe it. To compare me to her is outrageous and so insensitive to Nikki’s family.”
She pointed out the “double standards” of a society in which plus-size women are hailed for flaunting curves, while slender ones are trolled.
Kate said: “If someone is on Instagram showing their curves and grabbing their rolls, it’s all, ‘You go girl, well done you!’
“They’re celebrated, called real women. Well, why can’t a real woman be a healthy size eight? It’s crazy.”
“I’m slim, not skinny, and I’m healthy. My BMI is within the ideal range.
“I’ve varied between 8st 4lb and 8st 8lb since the Nineties.
“I went down to 8st in my twenties when I wasn’t looking after my body, but the only time I was bigger was in Big Brother in 2002.
“I put on a stone because I was sitting around for weeks eating junk and drinking sugary, alcoholic drinks.
“This is just my size. Other than walking the dogs, I don’t exercise. I’ve got a fast metabolism.”
