Plus-size model Felicity Hayward has revealed how strangers come up to her in the street to tell her she's fat.
The London-based model, 29, described how people will approach her and say 'You shouldn't be wearing that outfit' when she's out in public.
Felicity - who stars in Simply Be's new #MoreThanOurBodies campaign - also defended Tess Holliday's recent Cosmopolitan cover, which has been criticised for 'celebrating morbid obesity' by Piers Morgan.
She hit back by saying people shouldn't 'judge someone's health on their weight', adding that Tess is a 'huge inspiration to millions of people'.

Speaking to FEMAIL, Felicity described how she has been publicly shamed for her weight by complete strangers.
'People who have their own insecurities always put it out on others. Someone will come up to me and call me fat, and say "You shouldn't be wearing that outfit",' she said.
'But I don't let these people get to me. I'm just like if you're doing this, I'm going talk about it, and if I'm talking about it, it helps people.'
It comes after the size 20 model revealed she was mocked for her weight while on holiday in Greece earlier this summer.

The model hit back at the couple who were laughing and taking pictures of her, posting a snap of herself in a thong bikini on social media.
She tweeted: 'To the couple sitting on the beach laughing + taking photos of me enjoying my hols, I will stand in front of you + take this photo, my body is just as worthy as yours babe.
'I'm gunna live my best life just like this + you can carry on with dealing with your own insecurities [sic].'
Speaking about the reaction to the post, Felicity said: 'All the comments I got were people saying they had also been body-shamed on the beach.

'And they said "I'm going to do the same as you" [in response to the bodyshamers].'
Meanwhile, Felicity defended fellow plus-size model Tess Holliday's Cosmopolitan UK cover, after it was slammed by Piers Morgan.
Piers, 53, had called the cover 'dangerous' as Britain grapples with an ongoing obesity crisis, with an epidemic of overweight people costing the NHS billions each year.
But Felicity said people should not cast judgement on Tess's health, and said that she was a 'huge inspiration'.


Felicity said she doesn't let the abuse she receives both in real life and online get to her, and says it usually comes from people who have their own insecurities


The plus-size model said that people shouldn't judge someone's health on their weight, adding 'Your weight doesn't define you'
'I think you can't judge someone's health on their weight. Everyone is a individual,' she said.
'All of the covers with male plus-size, like American actors, no one's talking about it. No one's talking about their health, or saying it's offensive.'
She continued: 'Just because she's a woman, everyone thinks they have a right to criticise her health.
'Tess is such a huge inspiration to millions of people ,and she provides a confidence to young girls who are maybe of a different size for so many different reasons; medical reasons, mental health reasons.
'Your weight doesn't define you. If they don't see someone like that on the cover, how are they going to feel like they're worthy in society?'

Felicity...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
