The physical ceremony was cancelled due to the pandemic but it was moved online.

And Katie decided to show fans her stunning outfit for it after she was nominated for the Must See Moment awards for Sinead’s death.

However one troll told her: “You look stunning but one breast is slightly higher than the other.”

“Umm that’s normal isn’t it? Every woman has one breast bigger than the other? Why even comment about that though?” tweeted a second.

Another fan said: “Why do these comments happen?! Perfect response Katie! You look fantastic and congratulations on your nomination – a story played so beautifully by you and @Rob_Mallard.”
