Former Love Island star Chris Hughes has launched a fiery defence of Jodie Marsh after she faced a wave of online criticism. Taking to social media, Hughes didn’t hold back, calling out the trolls and hailing Marsh as a "genuine soul" who deserves respect.
Hughes, known for his candid nature, shared his admiration for Marsh’s resilience and authenticity. "People don’t see the real her," he wrote. "She’s been through so much and still stands tall. The hate is unjust."
The reality TV personality’s post quickly gained traction, with fans rallying behind both stars. Many praised Hughes for speaking out, while others echoed his sentiments about Marsh’s strength in the face of relentless negativity.
Marsh, a former glamour model turned bodybuilder, has often been a target of online vitriol. Yet, she’s built a loyal following by embracing her true self—something Hughes clearly respects. "She’s unapologetically herself, and that’s rare in this industry," he added.
This isn’t the first time Hughes has stood up against cyberbullying. The sports presenter has previously used his platform to call out toxicity online, urging kindness over cruelty.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Hughes’ passionate defence has reignited conversations about online harassment and the importance of supporting those in the public eye.
