BBC presenter flooded with support after viewer calls in to complain about her dress

Newsreader Amanda Harper received a raft of support after a cruel viewer rang in to complain about her outfit. The BBC Look North presenter was victim to cruel bullying on Sunday.

Amanda, from Stockport, took to Twitter with the perfect response after being the subject of a nasty phone call. The viewer took a dislike to Amanda's multi-coloured dress grumbling that it made her look 'think set' and 'matronly' - and she was the one to take the call when they rang in after her bulletin.

She shared a photo of herself looking stunning in the dress, with a red, pink and tan pattern on the top and a plain black skirt. And Amanda tweeted a 'warning' to the caller.'

"To the women who called in after the bulletin to say my dress made me look 'very thick set around the middle and matronly' a little warning, I’ll be wearing it again for the late show," she wrote, adding a sassy nail-painting emoji. Fans rushed to her defence, complimenting the dress and asking where she got it.

Others commented on her resemblance to actress Cate Blanchett in her role as a glamorous newsreader in the film Don't Look Up. Amanda said: "Thank you for all your kind comments, I’m a sensitive old soul. Just lovely."

@ZoeSomebody asked: "Someone called in?" And Amanda replied: "Yep, I took the call." aharper01 said: "No idea why people think it's appropriate to make these comments but it doesn't make you look any such thing. Not that a complete stranger's opinion has anything to do with it, including mine!"

@kevwgs told her: "You aren’t our local news area, however the dress is absolutely beautiful and my wife has asked where you bought it
