AUSTRALIA’S Victoria’s Secret angel Bridget Malcolm has hit back at online trolls who call her anorexic or tell her to “eat a burger”.

“Eating disorders are a mental disorder and a horrific thing for people and their loved ones to go through,” she said, adding the trolls should get a life.

“There’s a whole world out there beyond your screen. Go fill your short time on this earth seeing it.”

The Perth girl has the backing of the fashion world, with Chic Model Management co-founder Kathy Ward saying many models cop a lot of unfair criticism.

“The reality is models are like athletes, they have to look after their bodies,” she said.

Malcolm said preparing for a shoot or catwalk show was like a jockey dropping weight for a race yet “it is rare that I see their Instagram littered with comments advising them to eat a burger”.

Malcolm said she had been blown away by the support of her colleagues and respected fashion figures.
