Speaking about the horrible experience, Rebecca – who said she felt both “scared and angry” – told The Mirror Online: “On Saturday I received some really disturbing direct messages from one vile troll in particular who told me my son, Roman, was ugly.
“So I blocked them and they just created a new account to continue trolling me and my son.”
The devasted new mum added: “I hate it so much. How can anyone want to attack my Roman like that? How many times am I gonna have to receive these kinds of messages before something is done about it?”
Marcel broke the news they had a son shortly after his birth back in January, paying tribute to his partner.
