However, while many of Rachel’s fanbase were quick to leave positive comments about her outfit on a recent post on Instagram, just a fraction of the abuse she endures was evident from several vile trolls.
Dozens of followers marvelled at the star’s elegance and beauty as she shared an image of herself in a figure-hugging halterneck midi dress earlier this week.
But among the huge amount of complimentary remarks, there were a few comments that suggested Rachel was looking ‘thinner’.
“Lovely Rachel but getting thin,” said one bold fan.

“Looking very thin these days,” chimed in another.
“You look like you need to eat a little more,” a third rudely remarked.
A fourth thoughtless observer callously blamed a change in Rachel’s lifestyle for a perceived change in her appearance.
It is believed Rachel switched to a vegan diet last year with her long-term health in mind.
“You looked better before you went vegan. All respect but you looked absolutely stunning before you did,” the inconsiderate commenter concluded.
ED! has contacted a representative for Rachel for comment.
