Rosie Jones joined her co-stars Katherine Ryan and Judi Love on Thursday’s edition of Loose Women as the comedians spoke about their latest TV offering and vile online abuse

Rosie Jones had a sharp six-word comeback to vile troll as she appeared on Loose Women earlier this week.

The comedian was on the ITV show with fellow comics Katherine Ryan and Judi Love on Thursday, talking about their new TV show. Charlene White was leading the show’s panel with Gavin and Stacey actress Joanna Page, former Love Island star Olivia Attwood, and Judi by her side as she hosted chats and debates.

The 43 year old ITV host asked Rosie about the vile trolling she is often subjected to online, specifically the latest round of abuse that show Rosie take a step back from social media for while.

The trolling took place following Rosie’s appearance The Royal Variety Show and Big Fat Quiz of the Year in December. Rosie, who is 33 and has cerebral palsy, was on the comedy quiz show with Jimmy Carr, Mo Gilligan, Katherine Ryan, Richard Ayoade, Mel Giedroyc, and Kevin Bridges.

Shortly after the Channel 4 show aired, Rosie told her fans she was staying out of the public eye for a while because of the sickening comments people were making about her, including albelist comments about her disabilities.

On Thursday’s Loose Women, Charlene asked Rosie: “The last time you made headlines was just in January last month, when so many people again were sending you messages on Twitter and Instagram about your appearance on Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Does that affect you in any way?”

The comedian went on to add: “I won’t be flippant about it. It does affect me. Being a comedian it opens you up to abuse. Comedy is so subjective. But when you add on being a woman, being gay and most importantly being disabled I don’t look and sound like a stereotypical comic and that makes people angry. I think when it comes to disability it’s much easier to be put me into a box of whether you are a vulnerable victim or an inspiration who wins gold medals for her country.” She joked: “I’m neither. I’m a silly little lady who talks about her boobs.”

Loose Women viewers watching at home were quick to praise Rosie on social media as the ITV show aired, with one writing: “Rosie truly is an inspiration. People who troll her have to be so insecure in themselves #LooseWomen.” Another added: “Oh Bless Rosie Jones! The Abusers are very wrong! ! ! ! ! #loosewomen.” A third declared: “Rosie Jones, on her first presenting role, God Love her. Amazing woman, she has every right to be proud. #loosewomen.”

After being on the Channel 4 quiz show on Boxing Day, Rosie talked about getting the same nasty comments she got after The Royal Variety Show and said she was going to take it easy over Christmas. She tweeted to her followers: “Rinse and repeat. Different telly show, same old ableism. Thanks for the support, but I’m gonna lie low for a bit and sink into the perineum of Christmas and New Year.”
