STRICTLY star Adam Peaty’s girlfriend has emotionally revealed how she was forced to quit social media after his near-kiss with dance partner Katya Jones.
Eiri Munro, 23, says she’s feeling “tired” after being bombarded with abuse online.
It comes after Adam appeared to move in for a kiss with the professional dancer – who had a fling with her 2018 partner Seann Walsh.
The Mirror reports Eiri said: “I have been receiving a lot of hate on the internet – people saying really horrible stuff.
“I am trying to lay it to rest now as I am tired.”
She added: “I want to say thank you to everyone. It makes me a bit emotional. To everyone that has been really nice to me. Because last week was a lot.
“Even when it’s a thousand nice comments and one mean one, it’s so easy to feel like the world is against you and it did feel like that for a while.”
Last week Eiri issued Katya with a warning not to get too close to her man.
She posted a tongue-in-cheek TikTok video teasing Olympic swim champ , “If I see you with another girl I’ll kill her” — while she ran her thumb across her throat.
She included with the clip a caption quipping: “I could do with some acting lessons.”
The message comes after Eiri was left cringing when Russian pro dancer Katya, 32, shared a sensual clinch with muscle-man Adam, 26, at the climax of a passionate tango on last Saturday’s BBC show.
Adam and Katya’s sexy performance left many fans aghast and others angry.
Artist Eiri, who specialises in nude portraits, gave birth to the couple’s son George-Anderson only a year ago.
A source close to Eiri, who met Adam on dating app Tinder in late 2019, said: “Eiri is always supportive of Adam but she doesn’t like being humiliated on a national scale.
“She wants the world to know that they’re very much a couple and hopes that Katya doesn’t get any ideas.”
