Hollyoaks actress Sarah George has been forced to defend her recent on-screen appearance after viewers speculated whether she was pregnant or had gained weight in a series of hurtful tweets.

The award-winning screen star, who plays Celine McQueen in the Channel 4 soap, sarcastically apologised to viewers for not fitting into her dress 'as well as people seem to want me to' in a defiant message, posted on her Twitter page on Tuesday.

She wrote: 'No wonder so many people have eating disorders and [are ashamed of their bodies].'

Sarah continued: 'Put a bit of weight on over Xmas while on holiday (we're all guilty of it), come back to work, wear a typical McQueen dress and get tweets asking if [I'm] pregnant or just fat when it airs in April. To set that straight no I'm not.'

It was obvious she was shocked and disgusted by the upsetting comments regarding her weight and couldn't fathom how people thought it was acceptable to insult someone in the way that she had been.

She added: 'When did it become okay to comment constantly on people's appearances so negatively? I'm healthy, happy and I exercise regularly and I'm sorry I didn't fit into my dress as well as people seem to want me to.'

Simply stunning: Sarah cut a gorgeous figure as she attended the British Soap Awards in Manchester last year

Sarah signed off the post by writing: 'In this day and age, you'd think people would have learned how important it is to celebrate each other rather than think of ways to bring them down'

Her typed-out note struck a chord with her co-stars who commended the youngster for being brave enough to take a stand against the online trolls.

Annie Wallace - who plays headmistress Sally St. Claire in the soap - tweeted: '@sgeorge92 Brilliantly put my love. You're 100% gorge. xx.'

Showing their support: Sarah's co-stars Annie Wallace, Rachel Adedeji and James Sutton commended her for standing up for herself

Former X Factor star Rachel Adedeji - who plays Lisa Loveday in the soap - added: 'Preach it sis! Some people are just haters. You're amazing, talented, and very sexy. So much respect for you X x.'

James Sutton (aka Celine's relative John Paul McQueen) reiterated his co-star's remark, commenting: '@RachelASongs @sgeorge92 seconded. Gorgeous and talented x.'

Sarah made her first appearance as nurse Celine in November 2014.
