Strictly's Jayde Adams hits back at trolls as she's compared to Addams Family character

Comedian Jayde Adams has clapped back at vile trolls who abused her about her looks after last night’s instalment of Strictly Come Dancing.

She performed a Charleston to The Ballad Of Barry and Freda with her professional dance partner Karen Hauer on the show on Saturday night.

The performance saw the pair done colourful, sequin-laden outfits and received 38 points out of a possible 40 from the judges.

The dance routine landed them fourth from the bottom of the leader board and again garnered the attention of nasty viewers who took to their keyboards to slate Jayde.

While Jayde has been creative in her “laughing off” of cruel messages in recent weeks, she hit her peak on Sunday as she beat the trolls to it.

She posted a snap of herself sporting her Saturday night bowl-cut to Instagram, next to a picture of Uncle Fester from The Addams Family in a hilarious jibe at her look.

Next to the comparative pictures, Jayde wrote: “Internet: You’ll never be funnier about the way I look than I can about myself.

“So you can all stop being little sociopaths not and stop tiring me with your poorly written hack roasts.”

Fans rushed to the comments section to hail the comic for her hilarity.

One wrote: “You were fantastic last night. You have been all through this competition. [Bleep] the haters and carry on being FABULOUS.”

Another commented: “Haters and just jealous nobodies who have the urge to bring people down to their level rise above it you are amazing.” A third posted: “You are absolutely sensational.”

And some famous faces also showed their support, with Kym Marsh writing: “Love you babe.”

Ellie Simmonds wrote: “Love you Jayde,” and Strictly pro dancer Nancy Xu posted a string of heart-eyes emojis.
