A blogger has spoken of her horror after being 'body shamed' by a newspaper.
Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni was accused of 'happily displaying' her baby weight while her friends were described as 'round' by Corriere della Sera after she shared pictures from her hen party in Ibiza with her 13.5 million followers.
She has since hit out at the publication, one of Italy's oldest newspapers, in a series of Instagram posts and labelled the article 'disgusting'.
In her holiday pictures, the influencer could be seen enjoying boat trips around Formentera, pool parties and lavish meals with 13 of her closest friends.

She later took to Instagram to vent her fury, writing: 'My friends have been described as 'fat' by the biggest Italian newspaper,' alongside the hashtag #BodyShamingIsForLosers.
The original headline has since been changed to remove the description of the bride-to-be as 'rotonde e felici' ('round and happy').

Responding to the article in an Instagram post, she wrote: 'The article on [Italy's] most famous newspaper came out saying my friends were happy at my bachelorette even if they weren't SKINNY and IN SHAPE.
'I think it's disgusting to give a message like that, especially when so many girls are struggling with their body identity and self confidence.
'I've never felt perfect in my life (nor do I think I am right now) but I was always lucky to feel confidence in my own skin.

'That was mainly because my mum grew me up telling me I could have done anything I wanted in life if I [fought] for it and making me feel super special.'
Ferragni added: 'Women have such a hard time feeling beautiful because of so many reasons. As a role model for so many women I always try to share the message that they mostly have to feel confidence, not look perfect.
'That's why I am beyond shocked to read such a wrong message shared by such an important newspaper.
'Different is beautiful. Not perfect is beautiful. Happy is beautiful. Confident is beautiful. Don't let others bring you down or tell you who you are, EVER.'
