Who? Tayce? Allowing body shaming on her social media? Like this? In front of all these people? Absolutely not.
Tayce has clapped back at a body shaming troll in the best possible way.
The Drag Race UK star stunned fans over the weekend with behind-the-scenes images from a photoshoot, in which she can be seen in undergarments and heels whilst holding onto her [in Bimini’s Katie Price voice] nipples.
While the photos received praise from a majority of social media users, attracting nearly 13,000 likes, there was one troll – we repeat, troll- who felt the need to tell Tayce that she’s “too thin”.
Tayce, however, wasn’t going to let that slide. The star rightfully told the troll that they “don’t have to like it” because it’s her body.
“I’ve never been able rn gain weight. My metabolism is through the roof. Deal with it. We all have our struggles and insecurities, I always hated how slender I was growing up, being called “stick insect” or “Gollum”,” she wrote.
Tayce said she wants to use her platform to “inspire others who feel and have similar looks” to her, and feel “underrepresented” and “not worthy of love or attention” when compared to the “muscle Mary’s” of the world.
“And to those who don’t like it or think I’m “too skinny”? Well this is me and always has been, and I don’t plan on changing anytime soon so DEAL WITH IT,” she added, before assuring her followers that the comments haven’t affected her.
“Dw bout me btw, comments and opinions really don’t phase me that much (TO AN EXTENT) I can take it. Tough tough cookie over here,” she said.
“HOWEVER some are more sensitive so just remember what ya words can do to people. DO BETTER U HOUND.”
Tayce’s clap backs received praise from her followers, as well as fellow Drag Race UK alum such as Baga Chipz, Cheryl Hole and Lawrence Chaney.

comparing yourself to the muscle marys of the world, feeling you’re not worthy of love or attention because of your body. Me showing off my “skeletal” body and celebrating it is to inspire others who feel and have similar looks to myself. Or feel underrepresented.

Tayce won the hearts of viewers around the world with her appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.
Although the Welsh diva participated in four lip-sync smackdowns, she proved to be one of the most sickening entertainers the franchise has ever seen thanks to her flips, kicks and tricks and captivating stage presence.
She also bing, bang, bong’d the UK Singles Chart as a member of the United Kingdolls for their infectious, RuRuvision anthem UK Hun.
Since placing joint runner-up with Bimini Bon Boulash, Tayce has gone on to slay the industry with numerous high-fashion editorials, including a major campaign for Coca-Cola.
