An influencer, known on social media as ‘the girl with the hip dips’, has been repeatedly targeted by cruel trolls.
But despite the abuse, Nelly London from Brighton continues to proudly post body-positive and uplifting content with her 515,000 Instagram followers.
The content creator shared with her fans that she is recovering from an eating disorder, and by sharing snaps of her curvacious figure, she hopes to encourage others to embrace their natural bodies.

As a result, Nelly made the decision to stop looking at her direct messages, even though she gets endless lovely messages.
She revealed that keyboard warriors have even tried to put her down for something as simple as doing her weekly shop at Tesco.

She said: “It’s one of those sad things that has happened to me for so many years. Because of the content that I post, I do put myself out there – there is not a roll on my body that the universe hasn’t seen, and I accept that. So people will say things about that because they feel like they’re entitled to.”
Nelly explained that she originally started her Instagram journey after having a breast reduction, taking her chest from a HH to a D cup.
After her surgeries, she wanted to show off her new curves, and that newfound confidence meant she also wanted to embrace her more insecure areas like her hip dips, hence her nickname.

Nelly added: “It was not just the size of my body but mainly the shape – with having such prominent hip dips, it’s something that I never, ever saw anywhere, it was never in images I would see in magazines, billboards or TV.
“I genuinely believed that I had a birth deformity and that it was an issue with my body that I would need surgically correcting because I had never seen anyone with a body like mine.
“There’s nothing wrong with them – so when I started taking ownership of that part of my body, that was my personal big thing and once I got over that I needed to see someone being confident and powerful in this body, letting me know that it was normal, so that’s how it’s become my thing”.
