16ST POLE DANCER FIGHTS BACK AGAINST ONLINE TROLLS

A talented 16st pole dancer who was once dubbed a 'disgusting human form' by online trolls is fighting back to show her bullies that big is beautiful. Laura Moore, from Gateshead, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, continues to strut her stuff and show off her sexy moves on the pole, despite being repeatedly fat shamed on social media sites. The 35-year-old sales assistant says: “Every time I upload a new picture to Facebook or Instagram of me doing a new pole move in class I’ll have some form of abuse online. “I’ve been told to ‘go kill myself’ and that ‘no one will ever fancy me’.
