Plus-size model Ashley Graham has shamed people who troll her workout videos on Instagram.

On Sunday she posted a video of herself in the gym to her 5.3 million followers, which got a load of negative comments.

Later that day she called some of them out in a second post.

''I don't work out to lose weight or my curves, because I love the skin I'm in,'' she told her followers.
