While many fans rushed to send compliments, one person wrote: “It’s not clever to promote being overweight. All you are doing is encouraging laziness. Do more, eat less.”
But Melissa hit back, quipping: “It’s not clever to promote being a d***, yet here you are.”
Fans loved her reply, with one writing: “Melissa makes me feel better about my jiggly bits.”
Another said: “Ignore them. You look fantastic.”
Melissa, who gave birth to son River in March 2020, has become well known for sharing her life as a parent as well as body confidence messages.
She rose to fame on the soap 2004-2010 after joining when she was just 11.
The star is engaged to cruise director Robert Brendan, which often means spending months at a time solo parenting.
She previously opened up about what an adjustment it is for River when his dad returns, saying: “It’s a huge change to his world.
“He’s having to share his best mate, there’s a strange man in his bed, he’s had his whole existence flipped.
“Lots to handle for anyone, let alone a toddler born in a pandemic.”
