‘It made me feel really low’ – Soccer AM legend Helen Chamberlain hits back at Twitter troll after cruel jibe
SOCCER AM legend Helen Chamberlain has hit back after a vile Twitter troll sent her a horrible message on social media.
The 55-year-old, who spent more than two decades presenting the Sky Sports football show between 1995 and 2017, posted a picture of herself alongside Women's World Matchplay darts champion Fallon Sherrock.
Chamberlain then received a reply from someone who said: "Christ you’ve not aged well petal."
And the sports host responded by opening up about just how those kinds of comments can affect people.
Speaking on , she said: "I didn't really like the way I looked in this photo, but I was so chuffed to meet Fallon I shared it anyway.
"I could have easily retweeted this comment with a snark, or a put down, but here's the truth. It made me feel really low today.
